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.

Let's play together. Can you read this music? An Orchestral Performance Sahuaro Symphony any students have various musical interests and quite a few of these students seemed to have joined the Sahuaro or- chestra this year. Those who were enrolled in or- chestra attended first period in the concert room and were advised by Mrs. Strayer. Participation in Regional 74 Orchestra and All-state Orchestra competitions was upheld by many of the Sahuaro High School members. At the beginning of the year various ensembles and large groups of students took part in the competi- tions held at the U of A. Or- chestra performed in con- certs with other schools. They held several winter and spring concerts, in which the Sahuaro Mar-I ching Band accompanied them. With the help of their of- ' ficers, orchestra members held a couple of fun- draisers in order to be able to pay for their annual trips. The orchestra officers were as follows: Debbie Ostrop, President, Carlie Hegalson, Vice President, Kim Jensen, Secretary, Tonya Ms. Strayer, C. Aqullino, J. Arnold, M. Barthel, K. Burns, T. Bursey, V. Carter, A. Davis, J. Denk, S. Dukes, Ft. Frederick, A. Freeman, J. Heggie, C. Helgason, M. Henslee, K. Jensen, S. Katz, Fi. Lawing, M. Maibauer, S. Merrill, W. Moore, D. Ostrop, K.

Of course we can not forget all the hard work and studious time Mrs. Strayer put in to make such an outstanding year for the members of orchestra and the rest of the students of Sahuaro High School. All of the students tremen- dously enjoyed being in or- chestra and were glad they got a chance to be a part of
