Staging techniques add new style to performances Finishing her solo from Away in the Manger Linda Schutt listens to the audience reaction as she replaces the microphone. Capturing all the feelings of Christmas, the combined choirs added speaking parts to their Christmas messages. Bill Boyer, Mark Burguron, Linda Schutt, Kim True, Shelli Kurak, Paula Rix, Shelly Seczawa, Tina Gendron, and Pamm Stier complete the Love Christmas ensemble. Many hours of practice went into the chorus concert, which was held on December 19, 1985 in the Algonquin Junior High Auditorium. Directed by Mr. McMaken, the concert con- sisted of two groups from the high school, the Mixed Chorus, and the Rainbow Connection with additional help from the Junior High Algonquin Ensemble. “It takes about two mon- ths to get a good concert together — lighting, stage setting and about two hours for the perfor- mances, ' ’ said Patricia McBride Along with the night concert, the choirs per- formed at Pte. Tremble Elementary, Algonac Elementary, Fair Haven Elementary and Algon- quin Junior High. I Love Christmas was a feature at all of the concerts performed. That program brought a new twist to the traditional concerts, as all choirs worked together. The staging techniques helped capture a different feeling to the Christmas season. As Sharon McCoy stated: “I had fun do- ing I Love Christmas. First semester Mixed Chorus consisted of six- teen members and the Rainbow Connections consisted of four members. Such small groups made rehearsals go much smoother, but limited the type of songs the group could sing. A musical will be performed May 8, 1986. It’s called “Grapevine Connection” and deals with communication throughout the ages. Mix- ed Chorus and Rainbow Connection members will be performing the 45 minute show at Algonquin Junior High Auditorium. “Getting to work with more people and being able to do more than just sing will make Mixed Chorus a better class,” said Shelli Kurak. Being a member of a performing group demands a lot from each member. As Mark Burguron stated: “You need a good attitude and to think positively about the talent that you have.” n Mixed Chorus: Front Row: Bridgett Grinde, Jeanie Williams, Patricia McBride, Rainbow Connection: Front Row: Wendi Klier, Lisa Gamble.
