Etymology and history

The word "Boscorale" simply rooted from the words, "Bosco" (St. John Bosco) and "chorale," merged to form the word Boscorale, meaning a choir of St. John Bosco. This was coined by William Gajelonia, Jr., the Music Club President in 2005.

The Boscorale was first founded in 2005 under the supervision of Mr. Herman Coloma. It was composed of different high school students grouped into four different voices: Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Bass 1 and Bass 2. Their first performance outside the campus was held in Louie's THX Cinema, Mile Long, Amorsolo St., Makati City.

By 2007, the choir faced into major changes, including the revision of the members and the conductor, which led to Mr. Alvin Paulin's entrance in Boscorale's history. At that time, "Sir Alvin" is a newly hired professor in the campus to teach Music courses.

The choir received its first achievement as first runner-up in the 2007 Yoshinoya's Chorale Competition at SM Megamall. They got their first championship title in the Inter-Don Bosco Cultural Competition in 2009.
