Vocal ensemble now Beartones Vocal Ensemble started with a new im- age. Wishing to be more obviously identified as a school organization, they adopted a new name, Beartones. The Beartones quickly proved them- selves an active group. Things started swinging November I7 at the Mountain View Choral Festival. Jazz groups from all over Central Oregon performed and were judged on interpretation, phras- ing, rythym, and intonation, as well as other factors such as appearance and choice of music. The Beartones appeared at a number of club luncheons throughout the com- munity. They sang at concerts, nursing homes. assemblies and day care cen- ISYS. Three members earned special recog- nition. Lisa Brock made all-state choir and was first alternate in the solo and ensemble contest in the soprano divi- sion. Kim Gile took first in the district solo-ensemble contest alto division and qualified for state competition. Kim Harvey was alto first alternate.

Concert choir earns one minus in music festival With the return of director Robert Shotwell from a sabbatical year in Flag- staff, Arizona, the Concert Choir be- gan preparations for a new year. New members had to learn the process from scratch. Each piece was dissect- ed and memorized, each vowel and consonant given proper emphasis. Then slowly every song was reassem- bled and polished for performance. December II found the choir at the KTVZ studio where they recorded Christmas songs which were used in A Central Oregon Christmas, an an- nual program featuring Central Oregon high school music groups. Other per- formances were scattered throughout the year. The group competed in Madras against other Central Oregon schools, earning a score of one minus.
