Trojan Vlinstrels Enjoyed b Tucson's Clubs To qualify for the CHS Vocal En- semble, one must also belong to the Advanced Choir. The 1967-68 Minstrels of Troy are a select group of twenty- seven matched voices which gives nealy thirty performances during the year. Since their entertainment is in de- mand for banquets and luncheons of local organizations, the varied tastes ct their audiences require an ever-in- creasing repertoire. This ranges from classical sacred to popular vocal se- lections. A group larger than the Ensemble but performing less often is the Mixed Chorus. Sixety-three vocalists com- prise this intermediate choir which presents at least one number at each of the four regular concerts during the school year. Students attend this class chiefly to learn the techniques prepara- tory to joining the Advanced Choir.

Skills, Experience Received by GirI's Chorus The Catalina Girls Choir is coached in the fundamentals oi vocal perfor- mance by their director Robert Edging- ton. Their studies include sight reading of musical compositions, the techniques of tonal formation and music apprecia- tion. Although the Beginning Girls' Choir is primarily a training ground and feeding group for the Intermediate and Advanced Choirs, it does partici- pate in several concerts throughout the year. Its members traditionally join Catalina's other choral groups in the Hallelujah Chorus at Christmas and the finale of the spring patio concert in May. They also add their eighty-four voices to the music performed at Bac- calaureate and at Commencement. Gir1's Choir participants Cathy Iohnson, Gayle Coe, Virginia McCoy, Rita Lockard and Phyllis Clouse sing to Melissa Kyros' accompaniment.
