LEAN ON ME. There ore advantages to being the early birds. Not only do first hour Showstoppers get the worm, but they get a massage before dgging into their new music. While being a small group allowed for individual attention, it also meant everyone could be heard, no matter how hard they tried to hide behind the piano. Les Chanteuses. Mr. Evans. Bridget Schmidt.

VOCAL VARIETIES FLEXING HER VOCAL CHORDS. Stacy Cotton descends a scale in warm ups whte preparing for the up coming performance at Tri-City Mai. The girls stopped the show, lit- erally. as they were the last group to perform SHARING IS CARING. When there's not enough music to go around, it's not hard to find a partner in such a closety-knit group. Cooperation was a key to the suc- cess of Concert Choir. Concert Choir. Les Chan- teuses. and Showstoppers were as different as their names, but the fundamen- tals were the same. Building self-confidence, motivation, and musical technique were the priorities of choir director Bart Evans and all of his self from the rest through its music and show choreogra- phy. Adding a touch of dra- ma to the show literature they performed, made the group more enjoyable for the girls and their audiences. Each choir molded itself to the ability and experience of choirs. Les Chanteuses, com- prised of six girls, focused on a more lively repertoire. The small group meant that each girl had a microphone and the extra pressure and nerves along with it. Like Les Chanteuses, Con- cert Choir established the background, technique, and sightreading skills of the students. Performing more difficult music, the strength of the individuals made the group one of the strongest ever according to Mr. Evans. The 36 girl show choir, Showstoppers. separated it- Tm not in Concert Choir because there are three girls for every guy, but because I really enjoy singing.
