A New Instructor Sparks New Life in Concert Choir Concert Choir at AHS had a new and different type of direction under the new choral instructor Oralene Hofmann. Her goal was to make the choir perform better than it had ever performed before. Looking back at her first year at Alliance High School, Mrs. Hofmann said, Effort in daily rehearsals and pride in daily progress are the stepping stones to our objective, achieving Performance Excellence and our goal of making excellence a Tradition.” This year the choir did many things outside of the normal classroom activities. In October, they participated in the Fall Talent Show, also known as the Main Event. They did a Christmas Concert, which ended with the audience singing Hallelujah Chorus with the choir. The spring opened with the choir observing Kearney State Band play when they were touring in February. Then they got to watch Wayne State College's choir perform in the auditorium at the high school. In closing, the choir strived to find performing excellence, which in the end they achieved. As Mrs. Hofmann said, Know your potential and go for it! The accompanists for the concert choir this year are Vikki Curtiss and Kim Marchant. The Soprano section consists of Dena Hashman, Julianne Gonzalez, Lori West. Tina Bauer, Joell Romick, Jodi Morrison, Kelly Kosmicki, lanine Ballentine, Michelle Kamerzell, Susan Stinnette, Deanna Panwitz, Audrey Gonzalez, Cindy Martinez, Betsy Larkowski, Brenna Barner, lereen Goode, Priscilla Benoist, Heather Brost, Marren Harper, DeeAnna Hinkley, Wendy Miller, Maria Vasquez, Ioanna Howell, Lori Fraedrich, |eni Dunovsky, and Wendy Newman. 22 Concert Choir

Concert Band Makes Money After marching season, One - and - two - and - three -four was a familiar sound coming from the band room, as Mr. Rischling counted the beat to concert music. He held sectionals, in which those people playing woodwind or brass instruments came on certain days. This gave each person a better chance to learn the music and improve rhythms. When it was all put together and rehearsed, the band gave three concerts and attended the district music contest in April. Members of the 120 piece band sold magazine subscriptions, as well as cut crystal items. The money earned went towards the fund to buy new uniforms. These were ordered and worn for their spring contest. Keeping the spirit alive, the pep band plays for many home girls' and guys’ basketball games. 1st row Tori Hoxworth, Angie Clark, Chrissi Neilsen, Kelly Thomas.
