The Choir sang with tremendous audience ap- preciation at the first Amity PTA meeting in the fall and at the Lion's Variety Show. Among other per- formances throughout their year were the Christmas Concert, the Spring Concert, and at the Gradu- ation Exercises. They also attended the Audition Festival in the spring.
