Sweaty palms, fast heartbeats, and butter- ties were not uncommon feelings of students in the performing arts department. Before the curtain opened all had a great feeling of an- ticipation because for that short time, the individual was in the limelight, as well as the group. Before the actual moment of glory arrived, much time was spent working behind the scenes. These students danced, sung, played, and plucked until perfection was reached. This was shown in their performances. Enthusiasm wasn't a prob- lem for them. This unique group took pride in what it did. It was shown in their ac- complishments. For in- stance, Chorale Choir was one of twelve chosen to at- tend a convention in Califor- nia. Mr. Evans summed up this feeling of pride when he said, If one person puts in his all, they can be proud and call it an accomplishment but when the group puts in its all it becomes a group ac- complishment. That was when it was special. There was hard work in- volved in being a performer. It took time before, during and after school. With much effort these students worked their hardest and made it to the top. Design by Courtney Robin- son Photos by Tana Price. OH NO! NOT YOU A6AINI With a sarcastic smte on his foce.
