J. y. Goes to Corpus Made up of ninth and tenth grade students, the Junior Varsity Choir partici- pated in many activities during the 1975-76 year. These students were selected by audition last spring. Their prime directive this year was to raise money to go to Corpus Christi for the Buccaneer Music Festival. The JV Choir had the same money making projects as the A ' Cappella Choir. The choirs combined their enthusiasm to make the projects a success. The Junior Varsity Choir joined with the A ' Cappella on all concerts. They usu- ally sang a joint finale, which was a real audience pleaser. They also participated in caroling and the all-district Messiah performance. Later in the year, the Junior Varsity Choir also competed in UIL Choir Competition. The Junior Varsity Choir officers for 1975-76 were; President — Mike Elrod, Vice President — Angle Relder, Secretary — Diane Ansley, Treasurer — Rhonda Grounds.
