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
