The 1967-68 Trojan musicians prac- ticed throughout the year for a pro- gram including All-City and A11-State auditions, three concerts and two ies- tivals. These performances were the Fine Arts Concert in the fall, a pro- gram on Ianuary 18, and the annual Patio Concert on May 15. Again, the Catalina orchestra in- cluded more All-City musicians than any other Tucson school.

Dance Group Besides perfroming in the Drama Dance program, the Spring and the Young Choreographer's Concerts, the CHS Dardanaires present programs throughout the year for various civic groups. This advanced modern dance group learns self expression through move- ment and explores all facets of dance as an art form. A main part of the course is devoted to the study of chore- ography and experimentation in dif- ferent fields of dance. All performances are choreographed by the students themselves. Topics run from ballet to oriental dance. In preparation for the Young Choreographer's Concert, Miss Vir- ginia Robinson, the group's adviser, holds technique classes for the Dar- danaires. The girls study the history and formation of dancing. These are given to help the girls strengthen their skills in composition. Students with only a small knowl- edge of dance and an interest in the group are encouraged to attend the try-outs held in Spring. With special eiiects of music and lights, junior Marsha Bonney present lone of their original Ieanne Parker and seniors Pam Michaud and dances at the Dardanatres Sprmg Concert.
