Some of the best voices at Catalina formed the A Cappella Choir and Ensemble which combined with other music classes for a new honors class. The Choir sings in all the schoolis musical produc- tions. This year, some of its activities included the Fall Concert, the Christmas program, at which they sang a special rendition of The Little Drummer Boyf' a joint program with Rincon singers, and a spring Patio Concert. The 40 members of A Cappella, most of whom were chosen from the Advanced Girls' Choir and the Boys, Glee Club, have all had previous vocal training. Several of the singers were selected to represent Cata- lina in the All-State Choir, which this year performed at the University of Arizona here in Tucson. VVithin the Choir, the leading voices make up the honor group, Ensemble, for which auditions are held each year. The Ensemble students often form their own trios and quartets. New to Catalina this year and including many of the Choir members, was Honors Music. Thirty-six band, orchestra, and choir members attended the three-in-one classes. Students taking the experimental course spent one period a week studying music litera- ture, two periods studying music theory, and the re- maining two periods playing or singing with their regular music groups. Preparing to practice one of its many arrangements is Ensemble, an honorary group made up of leading members of the A Cappella Choir and the Orchestra.
