Along with hours and hours of prac- tice, the people auditioning also have to worry constantly that they are go- ing to lose their voices or die of stage fright. People waiting for an audition are not a pretty sight. ln class this year, the choir mem- bers who lived through their audition were working on their vocal technique through sight reading, working on pitch, and singing intervals. The mu- sic they worked on was a variety of classical and show tunes. The group was involved in a variety of activities this year. The group be- gan the new school year by sponsoring the school Halloween Dance. The week before the dance, group mem- bers performed brief skits after the announcements, in order to promote the dance. The choir also presented numerous performances. They gave several school concerts, and performed in All County Festivals in formal settings. The group gave an outstanding show at the University of Northern Colora- do Concert Choir Festival.
