We Were All Born To Make Music

Music Opportunities for ALL

Whether you can sing, hum, or simply clap your hands to the beat - or even if you can't - Troy First has a music ministry designed just for you! This fall we are offering a variety of groups designed to appeal to every voice and musical talent - at every level - with schedule flexibility you can't beat.

We have worked hard to provide you with opportunities to step out in YOUR personal music style. Pick a group and come join in the fun. You won't regret it!

2008 Spring Youth Musical
Are We There Yet?

A retelling of the Exodus story that captures the humor and humanity of Moses, Miriam, Aaron, Joshua, and the Pharaoh, as well as communicating the eternal truths within the story.

Our Spring Drama involves students in grades 6 through 12.

Don't sing? No worries! We have non-singing parts waiting for you. We're in need for prop designers, sound engineers, power point designers, stage managers, and more. There's a place for you - don't miss out!

Chancel Choir
We sing a variety of genres and styles of quality literature about three Sundays per month at the traditional service. Auditions are not required, but the two qualities that are most important are dependability and 'teachability'. Musical skill or experience is welcomed, but not a prerequisite, only a willing heart and voice. All singers who are at least High School age are welcome to join the choir. College and career singers are especially encouraged. Are you single, married, divorced or widowed? We have teachers, engineers, salespersons, sailors, homemakers, administrators, computer geeks - and a few musicians - in our choir. Come and give it a try! Babysitting provided as needed.

One Voice (Youth Choir)
Grades 6-12, ages 11-18. Vocalists usually sing in 2 or 3 part style. Music will be selected with input from the participants. The choir sings for the traditional service about once a month, as well as the 4:30pm Christmas Eve Service, and leads the Easter "Son"rise Service.
