EATCOLY do. NOT ah AC T HT. ... And On Concert Choir, Les Chanteuses, and Showstoppers Prepare for Production (Continued from page 177.) This large mixed ensemble dealt with serious choral literature, sep- arating them from the other choirs. An all female choir, Showstop- pers, was the second addition to the choir department. Jazz, pop, and festival style literature grati- fied its members’ desire to exhibit their talent. Rounding out the department were Concert Choir and Les Chan- teuses. Both performed a broad range of pieces including pop, folk, and some serious literature. The night of the performances was often hectic, as five choirs warmed up in the same cramped room. However, enthusiasm, as well as nervousness was not dam- pened. As the performances end- ed, unity was felt by the members of the choirs. Design by Kari Elting and Cheryl Evans.

Time and Dedication Prove 1 Performances Break a leg! wished one per- former to another as the Drama Club and Dance Company pre- pared to entertain their audiences while expanding their talents. The 31 members of DDC made up an extremely talented and viva- cious group that practiced daily during 2nd hour with sponsor Mar- gie Romero-Wolf. President Kim Holland and Vice President Kim Burns led the daily exercises in preparation for the Winter Con- cert. Dec. 11 13 and the Spring Concert, Mar. 13 14. Kim Hol- land stated. To us. the concerts turn out to be a two week perfor- mance, rather than a two night show.” Like DDC, the Drama Club con- sisted of many gifted and enter- prising people who strove to get the students involved in theatrical productions, plays, musicals and student directed one acts. Through many years of hard work, the Drama club maintained its out- standing reputation as pre-profes- sional actors and actresses. Dra- ma gives me the opportunity to broaden my horizons towards act- ing.” reflected Nicole Angeliri.
