134 Music Music Department The music department includes both instrumental and choral music. Students who are interested in sing- ing for their own enjoyment take chorus, and students who are in- terested in playing an instrument take band. There are two sections of chorus: concert chorus and regular chorus. Regular chorus is mostly made up of beginners, and anyone interested in singing may take regular chorus. To be in concert chorus, each student must pass an audition. The concert chorus also sings for local junior high schools. There are sixty students in this group which Mr. Tate directs. The band performs throughout the year. The band has a Christmas Con- cert and Spring Concert and per- forms during the half-time at foot- ball games. Some band members at- tend Solo and Ensemble Contest to earn medals for performance. There are approximately 145 students in the band. Each year the band members play their instrument for Mr. Crawley, the director, and the students are judged on how they play. Based on performance during tryouts, the students earn chairs. The best player is ranked first chair. Photos Clockwise, From Top Left: Chorus members sing their little hearts out at practice. Band members prepare to enter the field at half-time.
