Here is what people have been saying about our latest performances!
The Christmas show has always been my favorite but this year I thought the first half was a little too long and boring. There were way too many letters to listen to and some of them. I think we're supposed to be funny, but we're very hard to understand what the people were saying so it just got a little bit old. Since Christmas to me is the birth of Christ the second half of your show is my favorite and that's what I enjoy about Christmas are the sacred songs so thank you for doing that as that was beautiful for the most part. You all do a good job.
I have been to previous shows and always enjoy the singing. I echo other reviewer comments that the skit performers did not add anything to the show. We left after the first half and missed the glorious sing of carols.
Always look forward to your performances.
The Santa skit was fun for you but I would have preferred more song.
The costumes and music were fantastic. We love the talent of the Boise Chordsmen! There was a nice variety and we enjoyed watching how much fun the singers had while they were performing. However, the pacing of the narration was way too slow. It made the show drag a bit. The intention and writing were good, but the characters need to be more prepared and keep the show moving.
My friend and I look forward to the annual Christmas show each year. We have been coming for several years now. The singing was wonderful. What always amazes me is the way the voices blend together. Have a great holiday.
Here’s our performance from 2024 Evergreen District Competition in Portland, Oregon!
