"What an absolute thrill it was to sing with Valley Forge at contest. I'm very grateful that you gave this average singer an opportunity to be on stage with this talented group. I'm so excited that I'm actually not going to do my usual baritone thing and obsess over what I could have done better and just bask in the glow of being part of this gold medal group. It was glorious."

- Sharon Boyer, VFC COM

"Dear Valley Forge, Being at Regional & watching you perform both during contest and the show was WONDERFUL! You have much to be proud of! Wishing you continued success!"

- Debbie Foster

"As an audience member, it was SO exciting to watch the Valley Forge Chorus in their most recent competition. From the moment they walked on-stage, you could feel their energy. Their ballad had all the necessary nuances it takes to bring up the score and the up-tune moves were precise and full of fun - you could tell every chorus member was enjoying themselves. They brought their best to the contest and the entire audience responded with a standing ovation!!! Congratulations Valley Forge - your hard work and dedication came through..."
