A H, 5. t A windy day. After a performance at the Blind School, Ensemble poses for the last of the yearbook pictures. Singing is the easy part. Ensemble member Candacy Taylor accompanies the Hallelu- jah Chorus at the Holiday Concert. NSEMBLE ,, 7 There J ez Time I0 . . . emember -Lori Houston, Alto The Vocal Ensemble differs from other musical groups at CAHS in many ways. It is a more selective group than the others, requiring a strict audition. Ensemble also has peformance dress f tuxedoes which are selected at the beginning of the year, plus they perform at various places around Columbus. This year, our performances out- side of CAHS turned out to be real adventures. One of the places we performed at was a day-care center for the elderly. The performance went smoothly despite difficulties. First, we had to warm up in a chapel. Then, Mrs. Woodrow's music kept falling off the piano and three Ensemble members arrived halfway through the performance. During another performance for children at the Blind School, two members of Ensemble became sick and one was taken to the hospital. The most memorable perfor- mance given by the CAHS Vocal Ensemble this year had to be at graduation. Not only was it the last performance for graduating seniors but it was also Mrs. Woodrow's last CAHS performance, she was leav- ing to teach at Fort Hayes. It was hard to hold back tears during To Everything There is a Season, especially at the end when Mrs. Woodrow blew us a kiss good-bye. PERFORMING ARTS: Vocal Ensemble 73

WOMEN'S GLEE A Break in Tradition -Sonia Almon, President When asked to write copy for Women's Glee, I wasn't exactly sure what to do. Tell us something new and exciting, I was told. What was there to tell. We met fourth period, we sang in both school concerts and there were no men in our group. After some thought I came up with a few ideas. For a month this fall we had a different teacher. Brian Nabors, former CAHS student, took over our class as an assignment for OSU. I-Ie turned out to be a great teacher. For the Holiday Concert we sang Grandma Got Run Cver By a Reindeer. Someone suggested it as a loke but Mrs. Woodrow liked it. All year we tried to ose our Ahia accent but for this song we were sup- posed to use a southern drawl. We had to sing off key! robabl the best part of our ear came when we san the Hallelujah Chorus. Usuahy this song is reserved for the Concert Choir, Alumni and faculty. It was an honor to be asked to join them. 74 PERFORMING ARTS: Women's Glee 4 1 I l I i l .f . l Getting ready.
