Colorful Mozart Choir gave joy Being the elite musical group on campus the Mozart Choir was responsible for bringing much of the seasonal cheer to Anaheim. The choir dedicated most of its time to practicing for its various productions. They kicked off the year with the Thanksgiving Feast of Music. They performed for the student body in the auditorium. Their next presentation was their winter concerts. They per- formed them at the Anaheim Plaza, Jolley Roger, and the South Coast Plaza. Mr. Walker then prepared his group for Holiday in Music. This is performed in Ana- heim Convention Center. It is enjoyed by all the musical choirs in all the Anaheim Union High School District. The choir has partook in this event annually; it is always a big success. Aside from practicing, Mozart devotes some time to extra-curricular fund-raisers. The choir sells items such as Christmas decorations and candles to gain enough money for its trip to Hawaii. Mr. Walker had plans to take his ensemble to the tropical islands over spring vacation before the academic end of year. Mozart Choir CLOCKWISE: P. Tuggy, L. Anderson. D. Tuggy, J. Song, J. Kusaka. S.

All ' s Concert Choir Sang for students Under the aid of Director John Wall :er, the enthusiastic members of the Concert Choir were able to create an ensem- ble that produced high quality music. Each performance was a result of hours of dedicated practice. Though the choir was not immense in number, the members compensated for their size by blending their voices together to harmonize in their music. One of the main objectives of the singers was to im- prove their musical ability. Mr. Walker assisted the hard- working vocalists to reach this goal by working with the students whenever neccessary. The Concert Choir performed in a number of productions throughout the year. They began with the Thanksgiving Feast of Music which was held in the auditorium for the student body. Their next major presen- tation was the popular Holiday in Music held at the Ana- heim Convention Center. The singers continued to perform the rest of the year. Many of the choir students, who are returning to Anaheim, plan to continue with their music. Some are going to join the more selective Mozart Choir for the upcoming school year and receive advanced musical training. 26-CONCERT CHOIR
