 V l y own in de Lonesome Valley, Night Hymn, Song of Democracy, Do these sound like a list of top ten best sellers? Probably not. Instead, these were some of the songs that Madison's Concert Choir worked on and presented during the year. We do a wide variety of music, commented choir member Eric Jensen, from a Spanish mass to a South Pacific musical, Despite all the serious music that the choir sings, the group still manages to have some fun. Sometimes after a good per- formance, added another choir member, Chris Amaro, we manage to make it over to Farrell's. What a blast when you've got a room full of students dressed alike, eating Zoo's! We were a better disciplined group this year and had a lot more students who were interested in singing, remarked choir secretary Chris Venzor. By sel- ling chocolate candy bars, and eating a lot themselves, the group was able to finance their yearly activities. These included performances within the community, a Christ- mas and Spring concert, and participation in all city choirs. People always asked me what we were going to do to- day, reflected Chris Amaro, it was so obvious, SING! V M I 158 Concert Choir
