(excludes travel to and from Chattanooga, TN) The YPC Experience What choristers have to say: In touring with YPC, I learned how to be a leader, especially in my Soprano section, and I learned to be more responsible.

Artistic exchanges with the other choirs were extremely meaningful to me. I loved sharing our talents in harmonizing and our love for singing at the highest level.
