We just needed a good director, stated senior Jenny Gruber, We already knew we could be good. Cavanagh took control and y disciplined the choir so they could reach their E potential. They are working so much I t harder, stated Cavanagh. rj Along with these new things, the choir qtook on a new style of songs that are ! quality literature, according to Cavanagh. This year's songs are more competitive, commented junior Leann Standish. The dancing is the same, but the songs are harder and make us sound better, said Gruber. Included in their repetoire was America , Lift Up Your Eyes , and If You Really Knew Me. Among their many goals was to compete in Bishop Luers Midwest Swing Choir Invitational, which Standish commented as being much harder this year. Other various competitions were at Ball State I 1 i ll'-s University and Chicago instead of The Watseka Show Choir Contest in Watseka, Illinois. Homestead's Show Choir received a good review at the Swing Choir Spectacular at Northrop High School in November. We work well together this year because it is a smaller group than previous years, stated Standish. Because we work well together, this year we will be stronger than past years, she continued. We're all like a big family, said Gruber. This year we are doing a lot better. We do well in rehearsal and we get better every day. - 4' SWINGING INTO ACTION.
