Get involved in Cantando Choir Cantando choir is composed of first-year choir students, some of whom become members of the select ensemble, the Jills. These young talented girls begin their musical journey here in this class and may advance to higher places such as Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, and the Jills Ensemble. Under the direction of Mr. Bruce Sny- der, these singers performed in the Winter Con- cert, a Pops Concert, sang in churches and even at Cobo Hall for President Reagan. These bright performers enjoyed entertaining people throughout the year and hope to entertain many more in years to come. First Row J.Janke, A. Munoz.J. Creger. H. Son, M. Pacis J. Purtan.

The members are comprised of freshmen, soph- omores, juniors and seniors, both men and women, entertaining schools, churches, and colleges with their beautiful voices. This choir is primarily for students dealing with conflicts enabling them to join the selected ensembles. Under the direction of Mr. Bruce Snyder, Concert choir performed with the entire music department during the annual winter concert. They also enter- tained audiences in the spring with a pops concert as well as performing for judges during festival.

Get involved in JILLS Andover ' s honor vocal ensemble, the Jills, under the direc- tion of Mr. Bruce Snyder, began its 32nd year with a sensation- al start by singing the National Anthem at Cobo Hall for President Reagan. These ten juniors and seniors auditioned among many others for the honorable title of a Jill last spring. They were selected for performances on music theory, sight reading, bell ringing, blend and voice. Character, responsibil- ity, and personality were other important aspects in choosing the ladies. They performed in places ranging from hospitals to international conventions entertaining crowds of 25 to 1400 people. Organized in 1955, this tradition of excellence still continues today. It is a privilege and great honor to be a Jill of Andover High School, and Andover wishes them nothing but the best in their musical careers. First Row: K. Yoo, S. Resnick. Second Row: V. Siorm, W. Rhein, N. Bucher, I. Sherman. Third Row: C. Weiss, S. McLean, B. Allen, T. Walsh.

Get involved in Stagecraft Imagine going to a play and not seeing any lights or sets. Just a dark, empty stage. Now, put skilled people backstage to build the sets, set the lights, and control the sound. At Andover, the group of people that performs these tasks are the Techies. Jason Milen, Technical Director, collaborates with an amazing crew that works swiftly and produces quality workmanship and back- stage expertise during a production. This year they successfully produced You Can ' t Take It Wkh Y ou and My Fair Lady. An Im- mense number of hours after school are spent on the set design, construction, and painting. Andover is fortunate to have such a skilled and dedicated group of people to perform the not so glamorous part of the theatre. First Row M. Callas, T. Anders, B. Margolis, B. Von Ende, D. Kaplan, M.
