Practice, Practice, and More Practice Making a 'l at UIL Contest was not an easy task to undertake. Music such as Pachelbel's 'Gott lst Unsere Zuverischt and Sweelink's 'lVenite, Exultmus Domino was difficult to learn. Each choir had a class hour to practice in, but this was not enough time to get the music ready to per- form in front of judges and choirs from other area schools. To get an Nl the choirs had to have the dynamics right. Sectionals were the time in which the music could be polished and sightreading ability improved. Hav- ing to be at school by 8:00 in the morning once a week was almost too much to handle, but it was very important. Rehearsal time, both sectionals and class time, was essential. Soun- ding its best was a just reward for each choir's hard work. AT the Christmas Concert, Zack Aoki became the first choir beau. Aoki is presented a boutineer by Kelly Elliot.
