<p>I forgot to mention that my child is a choral singer and sings in three great choirs at Chicago and has had the opportunity to do national tours as well as being invited to sing internationally. There are many opportunities for choir singing at Chicago and the arts are getting a big push at the school with a huge new arts center getting built. The orchestra opportunities are also there, but perhaps not on the level of a school like Yale, but may be quite adequate for your child.</p>
