Senior Spotlight

Each week we will be featuring a new set of senior choir members.

Samuel Adams

My name is Samuel Adams. My parents are Kathryn and Douglas Adams and I have a sister, Sydney Adams, who was also in choir. I initially never wanted to try out for a show choir despite doing the Show Choir Boot camp, but I signed up for the now disbanded Men’s Chorus where I made good friends my freshman year. At the end of freshman year I decided at the last minute to audition for Surround Sound and was happy that I made it! My Sophomore year in Surround Sound was a little stressful, having to work a lot harder than before but I enjoyed it. I continued in Surround Sound and added Counterpoints my junior year. As a Senior, I am finishing out my time in show choir with three years in Surround Sound and this year I am one of the Costume Managers.

Being a part of Center Grove Choirs has been a really great experience. I would have never thought I would enjoy being on a stage but I am glad that I decided to try out and that I have gotten to experience all that I have. I want to thank Mr. Norman for always making it fun even when we are working hard. I think my favorite memory is still to come. I am really excited about this year’s competition season.

Outside of show choir, I am in multiple clubs. I am part of the RC Flying Club where I have been President for two years. I also participate in Model UN, Chess Club and Film Club. I also enjoy riding dirt bikes, my motorcycle and gaming with friends.

I will graduate with academic and technical honors and am undecided on which college I will attend. I am planning on majoring in

Anthropology/History.

Lastly, I want to thank my parents and sister for always supporting me throughout my show choir career.

Makayla Woolfork

Hi, my name is Makayla Woolfork, and I have been a proud member of the Center Grove choir program for the past four years. During my time here, I have been fortunate enough to spend one year singing with Accents and the last three years performing with Surround Sound. One of my favorite choir memories is from my freshman year, when Center Grove achieved the unforgettable sweep at Lafayette Jefferson, a moment that truly showed me the power of hard work, teamwork, and dedication to our craft.

Beyond choir, I have stayed deeply involved in my school and community. I serve as President of New For You, act as Co-Head Technician for Morning Announcements, and proudly participate as both a Girl Scout and a C3 Ambassador. Each of these roles has given me the chance to grow as a leader, connect with others, and use my voice whether through music, service, or advocacy to make a difference.

Looking ahead, I plan to continue challenging myself academically and personally. I aspire to attend college, where I will major in Law and pursue a double minor in Psychology. My goal is to use these fields to make a meaningful impact, combining my passion for justice with a deep understanding of both science and human behavior.

Most importantly, I would like to thank my family for their constant love and support. A special thank-you goes to my mom, who has always been my biggest inspiration and the reason I fell in love with singing in the first place. Without her encouragement, I would not be the person or the musician I am today.
