The older I get, the f younger I feelg the less I W realize I know. -Mr.Ashcraft L Do Re Mi Learning the Chords tudents who enroll- ed in third period boys' and girls' beginning choir probably didn't realize they were go- ing to be a part of mixed choir. But for the students, there was little or no sing- ing experience required. During the year they were enrolled in mixed choir they learned the basic fun- damentals of vocal produc- tion and some mixed chorus literature. To con- tinue singing forthe years 53 ahead of them, the students had to learn how to read music and the various vocal pitches. Throughout the year they held a number of concerts and did a few perfor- mances for the public. Mr. Ashcraft is the ad- visor of this young talented group and has been for several years. He has done a terrific job with the mixed choir and appreciated all of their cooperation. - H. Adaire Jazz BandlMixed Choir LIVE IT UP!

Herring Sahuaro Musicians All That Jazz select group of some of Sahuaro's best instrumen- may not be what comes to mind when one thinks of the jazz ensem- ble, but it is what the group consisted of this year. Students who wanted to enroll in the jazz ensemble had to go for an audition during the spring. The course is taken during 4th period, in which the students meet in the band room to practice and recreate the modern music styles they use during their talists 70 Actlvltles concerts. Mr. Ferrara, the advisor, has been teaching the jazz ensemble of Sahuaro for three years now and we hope he will continue the tradition of excellence for the years to come. Our jazz ensemble in- cludes a trememdous brass and percussion sec- tion, which is assisted by a bass feature that makes the music seem like perfect harmony. - H. Adaire S Fl. Adams, A. Barsotti, B.

I wonder who died. Singing can take a lot out of you. All photos by R. Bailey Sounding Picture Perfect Concert Choir ne of the more ac- tive and hard work- ing clubs of Sahuaro this year was the Concert Choir. They spent hours of their time building up their vocal chords so that Sahuaro's Concert Choir was one of the best sounding in Tucson. Quite a few students were enrolled in Concert Choir and could only be so if they made the audition and had teacher permis- sion. But we know they couldnr't have gotten where they did without the help of their advisor, Mr. Ashcraft. He made sure everything sounded picture perfect before they went to per- form. This year was filled with many spring and fall con- certs, as well as a Christmas concert that was filmed by channel 10. So the next time you are watching TV and see a group of high school students singing, look alit- tle closer, it might just be someone you know. - H.
