Year 2004 When The Pentecostal Missionary CHURCH OF CHRIST(4th Watch) Marikina Locale Saw The Need For A New Youth Choir Who Will Bring Souls To Christ Through Music. With The Help Of Bro. Boyet E. Cruz, Who Was The Mentor Of Maranatha Chorale Ministries For 16 Years, An Audition Was Held In The Marikina Young Watchers Department. From About A Hundred Who Showed Up, Around 40 Hopefuls Got Shortlisted. From A Number Of Suggested Names For The Choir, The HIGHEST PRAISE CHORALE Was Born!
Our Beginning Was Not Easy. We Were Very YOUNG, Inexperienced, And Had No Formal Background In Singing Especially In A Choir Setting. Kuya Boyet Started To Train Us With The Very Basic Fundamentals Of Choral Singing, Note-Reading, And Voice Culture. One Month Of Rigid Training Before We Were Able To Sing Our Very First Piece, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," During Our Church Anniversary On The Same Year. Our Hard-Work Paid ff When We Came Up Singing In Harmony And Blending, In One Spirit. Since Then, We Moved Forward With Our Regular Rehearsals And Continuous Training To Improve Our Craft And Give Glory To God And Offer The Highest Praise We Could Give.
The Year After, 2005, We Were Officially Featured In The Church Anniversary Presentation As We Staged A Mega-Production Concert Entitled "Lifting His Name On High".
At Present, We Have Been Consistently Taking Part In Our Major Church Events Such As Youth Camp, Intl. Convention, Caroling, And Special Fellowships. We Have Also Been Doing Music Videos For Our TV Program, Oras Ng Katotohanan. We Also Do Represent The Church In Civic And External Programs, And Special Gatherings.
In Our 5 Years Of Existence In The Music Ministry, We Have Gone Through Tests And Trials. Most Of Us Did Not Finish The Race, Some New Ones Have Come To Lend A Hand, And By God's Grace, Some Are Still Faithfully Fulfilling The Call. Now, We Aim To Further Hone Our Skills To Be HUMBLY Used By God More Gloriously Through Our Life In Music.
