Concerted Effort Wins Success “Truly a spectacular even- ing,” proclaimed Miss Saulnier and Mr. Taylor. Indeed, all of the critics had nothing but rave reviews for this one- night-only showing. Dressed for the occasion, the music department, undaunted by the less than expected turnout, entertained the audience with the student chorus’ opening performance of “Cantique.” Echoing across the audito- rium, the adult chorus followed with “If You Believe,” from the Broadway musical “The Wiz.” Tremor from the applause registered 9.8 down Holcott Drive. The band’s performance of ‘“‘Killion”’ drove the audience marching into the aisles. I Still Believe in Me, sings out soloist Cheryl Riley. Quality not quantity is evident in the men’s section of the chorus as the voices of Robert Nicastro, James Holmes, Gilbert Lapointe, Steven Anzivino, and Brian Decubellis prevail. 20 Spring Concert Backstage, the rumor was that the evening’s perfor- mance was just a hint of greater things to come. The troop of one-hundred and twenty band and chorus members were taking their program to compete in the “Mid Atlantic Festival of Champions” in Wildwood, New Jersey. They came home with high egos and a third place trophy in the choral competition, a third place in the parade, first place for the varsity majorettes and a third place for the junior varsity majorettes. Laurie Simoneau and Christine Lasala earned third and fourth place respec- tively in their solo perfor- mances. The Wildwood events were brought to a close, when the troop was taken on a marching tour of Philadelphia’s historical spots. Never before had the performers been in such demand. A selected few of Miss Saulnier’s voice students “When I Think of Home,” sings Cheryl Allen, Henni Olsson, Laura McNulty, Donna Leedham, Karen April, Jacqueline Gauthier, Samantha were chosen to sing in the Convent Parlor Performance. After months of individual in- struction, the students astounded the audience with such selections as “One Hand, One Heart” from “West Side Story.” Second, third and fourth year students were required to perform selections in foreign languages. Robert Nicastro sang ‘‘Torna Sorrento” in Italian. After such a busy season, it’s no wonder most members of the music department were found sleeping in the library, cafeteria and (shh) even some classes. Simmons, Heather Weldon, Deborah Reiley, Valerie Brunell, Kristen O’Boy, Michelle Clarke, and Shroff Shilpa in reflection.
