The practices lasted four hours every Tuesday and during this time, the students learned music and dance moves. the choreography was put together by former Chamber Singers, Mic Shackleford and Michelle Voss. It's always nice to come back and see the developing per- sonalities ofthe students l've worked with, stated Voss. The first major performance that the Chamber Singers and Hilltoppers put on was the annual Cabaret Night on October 22 through October 25. The theme of Cabaret Night was K'Life in the Big City. Many big town songs like New York City Rhythm, City Lights, and Putting on the Ritz were sung. lf Cabaret Night is indicative of things to come, then l've no doubt that this will be a show-stopping year, said chorus advisor Essie Fischer. The next major performance the Chamber singers and Hilltop- pers put on was the annual Christmas program. This show was performed with the accompaniment of the 'Thundering Herd' band. After these shows were put on, the choral - organization started getting ready for .I-. competition.

These counts were often heard at a rehearsal for the dance club. The Diamond Bar High School Dance club was the new club on campus, but it was the one that people have been waiting for, explained the Dance Club president J ovita Taylor. The first sememster of the year started with meetings, but they soon turned into rehearsals. These rehearsals were usual- ly two nights out of the week. Starting the second semester, it became an elective class and credit was given for the fine and performing arts. The Dance Club consisted of approx- imately fifteen to twenty students, in- cluding guys. The majority of the students were juniors and freshmen. The advisor for the club was Denise McElrea. McElrea was a dance major in college which was part of the reason for her interest in the dance club. The Dance Club was successful for its first year and they hope to continue their success. We are hoping for a very successful year and the years to come, com- mented Jovita Taylor. ' r- :'f'--M'--' e . . at ' 111fQz-rf- ',: w Hi. ..-aN5ig4'. ,K-kr.
