2009 Garden State Chorale Scholarship Winner 


The recipient of this year’s $1,500 Scholarship is MAGGIE O’NEILL, a member of the 2009 graduating class at Haddonfield High School in Haddonfield NJ, where Maggie resides with her parents and siblings.  Maggie has enjoyed singing, performing and participating in the many choral activities provided at Haddonfield High School for all four years of high school. Maggie has participated in Concert Choir, Chamber Choir and Totally Treble. She played the role of the Jester in the school’s Madrigal Singers production and has been active in the Drama Club, having roles in Hello, Dolly!, The Sound of Music and Cabaret. She has been chosen to participate in the OAKE National Honor Choir and also went to the Rowan University Young Vocal Scholars Camp. At her church, Christ the King, Maggie has been a song leader and also a teacher in their Songfest. Her Vocal teacher at Haddonfield High School, Paula Meyer, says that she “has depended upon Maggie for her dedication and enthusiasm as well as her vocal skills. She also has called upon Maggie for help with French pronunciation for different types of music. Maggie has anchored any female section from first soprano to second alto, depending on what was needed in a particular rehearsal.” Maggie will be attending Westminster Choir College in the fall to pursue a degree in Vocal Music Education. By applying the same energy, talent, organization and skills to her college experiences in academics and music, Maggie will surely continue to merit attention in the future. Congratulations, Maggie! We are proud to have you as our 2009 Scholarship Winner. We wish you great success and happiness.
