The year represented an impor- ant turning point for the Women ' s Glee Club. For the first time, the group performed in Hill Auditorium for a collaborative holiday concert that also featured the Men ' s Glee Club and the Arts Chorale. Singing at Hill was a wonderful opportunity for the women, and one they hoped to repeat. Another first for the Women ' s Glee Club was the Vocal Arts Day that members hosted in January. High school women from around the state attended a day-long event which included workshops and seminars on singing given by the School of Music faculty. Members assisted through- out the day and gave a concert for high school directors and parents at the end of the day. The Women ' s Glee Club also hoped to make this an annual event.

New U-M Song Selected for Men ' s Glee Club Men ' s Qlee Club Director Dr. Jerry Blackstone. In the spring of 1993, the Men ' s Glee Club announced a Michigan Song Contest. The group wished to add to the body of traditional college songs that were perennial standards in the Men ' s Glee Club repertoire. Thirty nine entries were submitted by September 3 1 . All entries were judged by a panel including Men ' s Glee Club director Jerry Blackstone, dance professor Howard Watkins, and vocal performance student Jack Anthony Pott. The name of each composer was kept anonymous from the panel to ensure objectivity. The winner of the contest was David S. Cortwright. His composi- tion, Memories of Michigan, re- [ ceived its premier performance at the Men ' s Glee Club ' s Annual Fall Concert in November. David spent all four of his undergraduate years in the Men ' s Glee Club, making the selection of his song a special honor for him. Photo by Steve Goldstein. 170 Organizations ft,
