Choirs answer community requests The common concept of the school’s choir is that of singing scales in class and performing at winter and spring concerts. The choirs set out to prove this concept false by performing in many community activities. Other than their concerts, the choirs have participated in District Festival, caroled at Cloverleaf Mall, and per- formed at the opening of the Central Library in Chesterfield. “We have been very active this year in different community services,” said Well, | wonder who won? Mr. Joe Simpkins, band director, and drum-major, Mark Winckler, discuss the band's performance at the Buena Vista Band Day. The Band won lst place. Clap your hands! At the grand opening of the Central Library in Chesterfield, some members of the Clovehlier singers do some pre- performance warm-ups. 26 Performing Bands and Choirs Mrs. Virginia Campbell, choir direc- tor. “The Eighth Grade Choir and Cavalcades sang Christmas carols at the Chesterfield Nursing Home. The Cavalcades also sang for a retired citizens’ group, for several church ser- vices, and combined with the Manchester Lance Singers to give a performance for the aged and retired at Imperial Plaza.” They especially enjoyed this because, ‘‘It really makes you feel good to see those older people smiling and clapping when you sing for them. You know how much they appreciate it,” according to Mark Winckler. The Cavalcades’ most unusual per- formance was for a sorority group at the John Marshall Hotel. They had to be downtown and ready to sing at 7:30 in the morning! In many schools the choirs sing for school activities only, but again CH’s choirs proved an exception for they could be heard not only at school, but in the community.
