Each member of the Chamber Singers was required to prepare a solo and perform it in class. The first time we did a solo, in the beginning of the year, we thought we would die of embarrassment, we were so scared and nervous. But by the end of the year we grew accustomed to it, then you couldn't keep us away from the mikesf' laughed Dana Gribble. The Ensemble requires the capability of reading music. This allows them to work with a wide variety of music ranging from madrigals to jazz to ballads and blues. It's interesting working with a solo-oriented group. It allows me to become aware of each personal voice,,' explained Director Kathy Lopez. The Ensemble performed at various concerts including the 7oth birthday of the Yorba Linda Library, commu- nity concerts, and the Fullerton College Jazz Festival. 'Tve really enjoyed being involved in the music depart- ment the last four years. And although at times it was a little monotonous, live managed to learn a great deal about music and have had fun doing so,,' said Debbie Merrill. 1.

Patriotic music was performed consisting of We The People , The Pledge of Allegiancen, God Bless America , and They're Coming to America , a Neil Dia- in mond song.
