Smith [Signature #106] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6014181?utm_medium=rss As I listened to the recordings from the recent tour, it became apparent to me that David has brought the Atlanta Boy Choir to the pinnacle of Boy Choir performance during his time in Atlanta! I'm absolutely stunned to learn that the Board has made this unbelievable decision! The choir is now among the top 5 or so Boy Choirs I have heard anywhere!

If it were not for my years in the Atlanta Boy Choir under the direction of Mr. White, I would not have the respect and love and knowledge of music that I now have. Mr. White has had a profound impact on my voice and life and has thought me to always strive for excellence. I strongly believe that Mr. White should remain Director of the Atlanta Boy Choir.

As a member of the Florida Singing Sons Boychoir, I have seen firsthand the impact that losing this beloved director can have, not only on the boys, but on the choir as an organization. The lasting effects will reverberate for years to come. BE THE BEST CHOIR YOU CAN BE.

David White has been the single most important male role model in Marc's life, and I am grateful beyond words for his outstandingly positive influence. Their unique relationship has been especially important to Marc since the death of his father four years ago. Mr. White's sudden departure from Marc's life at this time would be a sadness and loss for Marc that I can not begin to imagine.

He is well respected by his peers in the music community and has completely raised the bar for the Boy Choir's standards of music and excellence.

I reread the emails about our boys.. Mr. White had everything to do with getting our boys there and helping to develop their gift of voice! He took my son, who has a disability and turned a caterpillar into a butterfly! Thank you for that, Mr. White.. you are truly amazing in my eyes! This is a travesty!
