$ING AND BE Since childhood everyone has been able to sing. Per- haps some not as well as others, but some had pride in the way they sounded. There were exceptional students that were blessed with a wonderful talent. Such students could be found in the Edina Concert Choir and the famed Cham- ber Singers. The Chamber Singers were known for, among other things, their once-in-a-lifetime opportuni- ty to travel to Japan. Concert Choir. Team- work. Pride. These were the things which made Concert Choir star in local and re- gional contests. Throughout the year, Concert Choir ac- claimed outstanding perfor- mances, yet not everyone knew what went on behind the green and gold robes - hours of work and dedica- tion - and the desire to be the best they could be. And that they were. Mr. Bob Peterson tfaci, the choir's director, shared his motivation with the rest of choir. Molly Kelly t12l and Jenny Pluhar t1 D referred to him as being Hlike a teddy bear. But he was also tough, and made the musi- cality of a piece first prior- ity, not discipline. The performances were the things I liked best about Concert Choir. Rehearsals were. always challenging, but payed off once we were on stage and we achieved our goal of a good perfor- mance, stated Angie Do- bies 02y ilOur voices achieved what our minds believed, said Brigette Underwood 02l- Current Jam, like all pre- NEED vious years, was exception- ally stunning. Many tears were shed as the last fare- wells to seniors were made. Current Jam, the most chal- lenging and rewarding stage performance at Edina High, sold out every night. Chamber Singers was the group which wore the Re- naissance outfits and signi- fied the pride and talent of Edina. Their tour to Japan brought about not only a great experience in under- standing vocal music, but also a greater appreciation of the United States. With the Concert Choir and the Chamber Singers combined, the year was a singing, ring- ing success. By Sue Weir 8 Brian Fulford Singing along with vim and vigor.
