Under the direction of Mr. Mike Zimmerman, the swing choir performed for such places as Good Samaritan. Jr. High. Kiwanis. Rotary, Women's Auxiliary. Jr. Women's Club's fashion show, and a convocation for the high school. Early in May the swing choir and stage band gave a concert for the public in the band shell in the city park.
