She received her B.S. in Music Education from Northwest Missouri State University in 2007. Alyssa has been involved in choir, band, show choir, and theater for 18 years. She has been actively choreographing high school and college show choirs and musicals in Missouri for 7 years. Alyssa has been a returning judge for vocal music festivals in Missouri, as well.

He received his B.S. in Music Education from Northwest Missouri State University in 2006. Scott has been creatively involved in choir, show choir, and theater for over 20 years and attributes many creative successes in his career to the great programs available in the Scottsbluff area including the Foothills Theater Program under the direction of Susan Selvey, the Platte Valley Children’s Chorus under the direction of Charlotte Browning, and his excellent music teachers which include Charlotte Browning, Julie Pengelly-Schaff, Kathy Simpson, Barb Becker, and Tami Lippstreu.

The lessons a young boy learns while working with other young boys to accomplish what seems impossible will last a lifetime!
Our mission is to create a Boychoir that over time will become one of the finest in the country. The United States doesn't have the history of boy choirs that many European countries do but we can accomplish great things by educating boys in the art of singing and performing the finest music in the boy choir tradition.
Teaching young boys the commitment and work necessary to accomplish a goal develops character, discipline, leadership, global awareness, and a strong commitment to excellence.
The Fortis Boy Choir can and will accomplish these goals. We will help boys to feel good about what they can be and take these lessons with them into their future families and businesses.

Fortis, a Latin word translates to; Brave, strong, powerful, and courageous!
