Choir and Orchestra really get moving by Shauna Thurman Orchestra and Choir had all that it took to become even better during the year. Orchestra consisted of ap- proximately 30 students, many of them interesting and promising new fresh- men. Then, too, Nancy Watling said she had some students return who had left her the year before, like Hillary Spector, and Heather Beall. These stu- dents were glad to be back and were excited about being part of something they enjoyed. Orchestra instructor, Mrs. Watling, with Davis 45 years and chairman of music five years, was thrilled about her students. Their main goals during the year were a Christmas performance and CMEA spring com- petition. Something Mrs. Watling would like to see in the future is to get the music department together and plan an activity as a whole group. Choir again was able to have a scheduled period for practice. Direc- 1U tor John Carter's main goal was to really teach how to sing and read notes. He said next year they will work more on the performance and the way they present themselves. Mr. Carter put a lot of stress on individual growth. He said, lt is most important that they enjoy it and have a good experience with it. Singing in front of people wasn't easy, so Mr. Carter gave them a wide variety of music so that they felt comfortable. l. Now where did l put my music , is what Xi- mena Delgado seems to be saying. 2. Choir looks over their music before they begin their number. 3. Hi Folks! 4. The numerous violins in Orchestra. 5.
