l Some people may not realize exactly how much time, work, and dedication are involved in All-State choir. We feel very lucky to have participated in such an outstanding program.-Teresa Scroggs and Gina Shipps, All-Region and All-State Choirs I 1 Eu mp titiun re you going to the All- Region rehearsal tonight'?', Oh, I don't know. It sure takes up a lot of my time. Yeah, I know, but it will help your try-out if you practice with the group. Night practices were almost a must to qualify for All-Region choir. Weekly night practices held with Mills and Hall High Schools, helped make the choir members feel sure of their try-outs. Try-outs were a OBU and the clinician for the choi was Dr. Charles Rye. Among the 24 All-Regioi members, 16 were eligible fo All-State choir try-outs. Ten of thesi people made the All-State choir All-State members sang at the Pint Bluff Convention Center. While Highlander choir sings 'Twas the Nigh Before Christmas , Mark Oliver, dresses as Sant. Claus, passes out candy to the children in th audience. During a night rehearsal in the choir room, various choir members practice for the All-Region choir. 58f Academics ALL REGION FRONT: John Bush, Mitchell Vire, Maro Muradian, Gina Shipps, Teresa Scroggs, Janice Schoemaker, Marcy Burleson, Cheryl King, Deanna King, Carrie Williams, Robin Ann O'Dell, Bruce Fowlkes, Ronald Hayman BACK: Mike ALL STATE FRONT: Maro Muradian, Gina Shipps, Marcy Burleson, Teresa Scroggs, Deanna Stephens, Clay Shipps, Jeff Penn, Bob Birdsong.
