E .wsfm -mn . New novice singers added to department Due to the decreasing enrollment in the Women's Chorus, and the cancellation of Men's Chorus, the Cardinal Singers was added to the vocal music program. This group was designed to help the novice singers. I was disappointed when my men's group got cancelled because they need individual attention. Men who drop out of voice training during their voice change never really learn its capacity. Now with this group I have time to teach them how to develop their voices to their fullest potential and help them sing through this change, explained Director Kathy Lopez. The chorus performed at all on-campus concerts including a novice festival at Wilson High School. I learned a lor from this choir. I think it's a good program for the be- ginning singersf' commented Rhonda Saavedra. 1. Sophomore Jackie Ovanin narrates We the People.
