To accomplish that, we had to bring the teachers to the students,” com- mented Al Wiser, music department coordinator. 185 vocalists and 85 string players made up the contingent that engulfed Ames High for an all-day workshop. The group planned to include University of Northern lowa choirs, ensembles and faculty, and the Ottawa, Kansas, University choir. Students from area high schools also participated. Several groups pulled out prematurely due to the rapidly rising fuel prices and the consequent increase in transportation costs. However, this failed to dampen the spirit of the festival. Added Wiser, This is a marvelous chance for the kids and they can't help but improve from it. Above Left: SPLISH SPLASH. The A Cappella choir is oblivious to the leaky auditorium ceil- ing.

BUILDING PRIDE The swing choir, a unique activity in the music department, received its fame for being 100% student organized. Not having an adult supervisor is our greatest strength and our grea- test weakness, Paul Frederiksen conceded. | have a lot more pride in swing choir than the regular choir since we do everything ourselves — choosing our own music and choreographing our movements, Tim Hickman said. d We have to learn to take care of d ourselves and solve our own 2 problems. “We do make alittle money, $25 here and there, which we put in the choir fund. We give a lot of concerts for churches and private organizations, but our favorite was performing on campus at VEISHEA, Jeanne Hea- ley explained. “With all our problems, Im sure swing choir will continue in the future, added Pam Carlsborg, The good points far outweigh the bad.
