Concert Choir was heard loud and clear this year with their notable performances. Mr. Thomas Lauder started the year off with a talent show, In which he, the choir, and several others worked many long hard hours. Another program that took a lot of preparation and hard work was the Christmas program. This concert not only brought 1982 to a close, but also marked the end of Mr. Lauder’s three and one half years of dedication to the school system. Tenors: Todd Rehder, Kris Margheim, Rod Stark, Tom Knote. Tom Beagle. Tracy Rice, Doug Bearden. Eric Green, Tyler Winkler. Altos: Amanda Heitz, Tina Wodke. Vicki Clark, Brenda Bedient.

Not pictured: Lavon Krejci, Sandi Seidler. Mrs. Marci Giles, the new choir director, picked up where Mr. Lauder left off and wasted no time implementing her new ideas. With this major change the choir as a whole didn't have too hard of a time adjusting. They showed their abilities to work hard and sing well and didn’t once hesitate to keep up the preparation for Wayne State. They kept the money raisers going steadily, with first the sale of magazines and shortly after came the sale of raffle tickets for both gas and a gift certificate at Jack and Jill. The biggest and final money raiser was the taco feed held in January. Along with this the choir had to keep up their rehearsals in order to be ready for their spring concert and Chadron competition. The year was full of activities and changes, but the choir handled it well and with a lot of ambition. Concert Choir 21
