Amityville Memorial High School - Warrior Yearbook (Amityville, NY)

Page 69 text:

This year the chorus numbered 80 stu- dents under the direction of Mr. LaManna, a new faculty member with whom we were happy to work. Some of the chorus func- tions were performing at assemblies, at concerts, and playing for the Parents Asso- ciation. A selected chorus of 30 students had special rehearsals in the mornings on their own time. Each year the voeally in- clined may audition for NYSSMA. Those who were chosen from Amityville were Roberta Mahlsledt, Rosemary Feliney, Richard Buchmaier, and Charles Brantley. Aside from the band, orchestra, and chorus we have the German Band known as the Hungry Five. a dance band, and numerous instrumental ensembles. These groups have performed at assemblies, for service organizations, and have made other Ofllrf outside appearances. The dance band mem- bers practiced three mornings a week be- fore school. The music department took its annual trip to the Metropolitan Opera where a performance of Tosca was enjoyed. We, the graduating seniors wish to ex- press our sincere gratitude to Mr. Flem- ming, director of music in the Amityville Memorial High School, Mrs. Lush, orch- estra director, and Mr. LalVIanna, choral director, who, by bringing music into our lives, have enlightened our hearts and en- riched our minds. We also wish to thank them for the school spirit their organiza- tions have promoted and for their con- tributions to the musical life of the community. Raw I, Left to Right: J. Damieo, D.
