North Kansas City's A cappella and Harmonaires were always on the move. Concerts and assemblies were major highlights for the school and several civic groups. Over 100 students participated in the many activities. A cappella, one of the main performing groups, grew increasingly active. After a successful fall concert, various Christmas concerts were given to nursing homes, hospitals, and an all-school assembly. After the Christmas holiday, A cappella was on the move once again by per- forming a spring festival concert conducted by Ed Lodjeski a popular music composer. Another spring concert and graduation finished out the year. The 30 voices, called the I-Iarmonaires, sang their way into the hearts of old folks, grade school children, junior high kids, and other organizations. Sometimes the Har- monaires even found time to perform at Northtown, they gave SIA's, sang at the Christmas Assembly, and held concerts.
