A certain degree of excel- lence and commitment was understood to be a part of each of these vocal groups. Students devoted their time to rehearsals, fundraisers, personal singing goals, and solo and ensemble competi- tion. Director Bart Evans helped each of the choir members develop an appre- ciation not only for music but for each other. Not only was there this kind of commitment, but an- other kind was evident in Da- Capo practice at 7:00 in the morning. That round vowel sound sometimes became a mid-phrase yawn. But one ad- vantage of early morning classes was the availability of good parking spaces. After all was “sung” and done, the final product was ready to be shared. The ten- sions rose, throats got dry, voices shook, but the ap- plause from the audience was the reward. Choir was a great success for the audiences ears, but mainly for each choir members own ears and the impression left on their hearts. Design by Leigh Pyper and Kristen Pond.
