,t ,Q Orchestra What ever happened to those poor kids who were forced to lug around violins, cellos or other huge orchestral instruments? Well, eighteen of us played for the BTW orchestra this year. Directed by Elmer Davis, Jr., we performed in the Christmas assembly, and planned to combine our talents with those of the concert band for a spring production. All those years of dragging around instruments bigger than ourselves seemed to have paid off. ront row: Stephanie Johnson, Wesley Knebel, Thuy Ai Nguyen, Laura Passmore.

Choirs Concert Choir was the starting place for many female singers at BTW and, being young enthusiasts, we worked hard to learn everything we could about music. We wanted to sing as much as possible. We participated in a show called, On The Radio , the Spring Concert, the fine arts and several junior high assemblies. This was our year to stand out. In past years Mixed Chorus had a reputation of being stubborn and rowdy. But we decided it was time to change, we improved our vocal quality and our performances. We participated in the same programs as the concert choir and, as an extra-curricular activity, we organized the Gimmie Awards , a vocal music talent show.
