Dear Pastor:

We are looking for quality young people to serve as All State Choir Members.  Since it is impossible for us to become personally acquainted with all the applicants, we must rely on your recommendation.  Please share your honest opinions. 

We would appreciate your confidential comments on the applicant's maturity, stability, temperament, ability to adjust to new situations, physical stamina and any other traits or qualities, which might be assets or liabilities.  Exposure to pressures, cultural shock, and physical stress places a great demand on the character and disposition of each applicant.   Serious consideration will be given to your comments; therefore, your cooperation in completing this form as candidly and prayerfully as possible will be greatly appreciated.
