Mission
The maryland state boychoir, inc. (msb) was established in 1987 and is devoted to the artistic development of maryland boys. Msb's mission is to provide opportunities for talented boys from all backgrounds to develop their musical and social skills through a rigorous program of instruction and choral performances. Msb also strives to serve the broader community by offering facilities for the arts, children and young people, religious groups (including the congregation of st. Matthew united church of christ, the original owners of the maryland boychoir center for the arts), and local residents - particularly the mayfield community.

The msb ran the traditional weekend winter camp which is required that all choristers attend as well as hosted the annual week-long residential summer camp at shepherd university. During time at camp, the boys learn new repertoire for upcoming tours and for the upcoming fall season. They also participate in a number of music and non-music related electives, enjoy peer-to-peer interaction, and learn manners and social skills. These two camps focus on teaching choristers self-reliance, responsibility, and independence. In the annual ritual known as "summer camp," choristers learn how to put aside "me and become the remarkable "we" that is the key to the maryland state boychoir.
During the choral season, the organization trained over 100 boys in the demanding art of choral singing through group rehearsals and individualized vocal lessons. Training includes recognizing note values and music notations with an emphasis that music is a language. This year, the msb focused more on theory training and many choristers put their all into advancing in their theory knowledge. The individual desire for excellence leads to a culture of cooperation and mutual support as the choir strives to produce the best ensemble sound possible.
