The funny thing is that confirmation class is usually done around the ages of 12-15, where most usually go through pubertal voice change, so the songs sound even worse than they normally would.
(I, too, did a fair bit of music at the time. Basically my entire weekly schedule was filled with school in the mornings and musical classes for violin and piano in the evenings, including attending several orchestras.)
