WESTMINSTER CHOIR
Graduating Seniors 2016
ERIN BOGERT
Erin, a senior at West Essex high school, is excited to be playing Denise in her last show here with the Westminster Choir. She started as a member of the choirs at First Presbyterian Church when she was just three years old and has been here now for ten years (as a result in a brief gap in her choir experience for five years due to living overseas). Over these years, Erin has performed in Urinetown, Jesus Christ Superstar, Children of Eden, Some Kind of Wonderful, Life Is, Walking in Space & now Baker’s Wife. She has loved each and every experience she's had with this group including a cultural exchange trip to Sweden and the many tours (the most recent being to England!). Erin is a voice student of Martin C. Hurt. She would like to thank all the wonderful friends she's made throughout the years as well as the advisors for always being there for her. Above all, she would like to thank the Piercy family who have granted her with this amazing experience and unconditional help and support. I would also like to thank my mom for being my constant support through everything on and off stage. Erin will be attending Rutgers University this fall pursuing a major in theatre arts.
PATRICK CITRANO
As a proud member of the Westminster Choir, Patrick is so grateful for everything he has been able to accomplish and succeed in doing through choir. Patrick has been in choir for the past five years, and has performed in Pippin, Urinetown, Jesus Christ Superstar, Children of Eden, and The Baker's Wife. When he is not performing with the Westminster Choir, he can be found on the stage at Verona High School. While he has received no formal vocal training he is very grateful to both Mrs. and Mr. Piercy for helping him craft his voice. He is also very grateful to Adriana Pierce, who through her sweat-producing dance routines and motivation has shaped him into the dancer he is today. Aside from vocals and dance, the Piercys have also been instrumental in shaping Patrick's love for travel. With the Westminster Choir, Patrick has been to many states across the United States, as well as Sweden, Denmark, and England! He hopes to go to Taize next summer! Patrick will be attending The University of Southern California next year. He plans on majoring in Chemistry and Neuroscience on a pre-med track. Patrick wants to thank all of his advisors, family, and choir members for the love and support over these past 5 years, and is excited for the future of the choir.
