ARTS EXPERIENCE Performing And Visual Artists Showcase For Holiday Season n evening in the arts. It was a night that combined the talents of the performing and the visual artists of AHS in a concert and art show. The results were two hours of good music and visual sensations that filled the imagination for all who attended. The evening began with selections from the choir. In the spirit of the Christmas season, the Port City Sing¬ ers, dressed in flashy black dresses, en¬ tertained the audience with “Swinging around the Christmas Tree,” “The ani¬ mals are coming”, and a humorous in¬ terpretation of “0 Holy Night.” Their free spirit syle was a hit. Along with the Port City Singers, other music was performed by the Cho¬ ral Ensemble, and A Cappella choir. “Cantate”, a very lively piece, harmo¬ nized the voices in the largest of the choirs into a moment of angelic propor¬ tions. “Sheperds Hurry” and a “Christ¬ mas Eve Carol” rounded out the talents of the choir into a blend of music that kept the feeling of the season warm in the hearts of the audience. Equally enjoyable was - the music of the String Ensemble, Stage Band, and the Symphonic Band. “Firestar”, per¬ formed by the Stage Band, featured some hot solos by Scott Smith and Josh Hoskins. Other soloists were Tuan Bui, and Tim Severson. The growth of the string ensemble was evident both in numbers and qual¬ ity as they did “Christmas Suite for Strings”. Making a guest performance for “Concerto in A Major for Harpsi¬ chord and Strings,” Betty Phillips was featured at the synthesized harpsi¬ chord. Following the concert, works of art ranging from paintings, photography, pottery, and drawings were displayed in the cafeteria. Concert goers had the op¬ portunity to see the students work as background music was provided by en¬ sembles from the band and choir. The art show was the cherry on the top of the sundae. It was an evening of cultur¬ al experience that won’t soon be forgot¬ ten.
