The most important thing about being a champion is treating others with kindness and respect. So, we want to nurture and share that with others by creating a hashtag you can use in events here and back home. Tag us on our social medias using #sharethelove showing random acts of kindness, cheering for other groups or anything else you can think of showcasing how loving our choir family can be. So go ahead . . . #sharethelove!
