ft UAt A Attn VIAA The Swinging singers are a group of seventeen girls who perform at assem- blies and concerts throughout the year. At each performance they do three or four popular numbers which they sing and dance to. This year they also per- formed at the Train Station for UALR’s first jazz festival. The Barbershop Quartet is a group of four senior boys who perforrh at con- certs and assemblies. They sing and do skits at different performances during the year. The groups traveled with the choir to festivals and competitions. This year they received all superior ratings. Each year tryouts are given for the following year. The Swinging Singers are judged on appearance, facial expres- sion, gracefulness while performing, and vocal ability. The Barbershop Quartet is judged mainly on vocal ability.
