Probably not, unless you happened to be involved in the choral program under the direction of Frank Guenther. It seems that if you think you weigh 350 pounds, you SING like you weigh 350 pounds and, and that means you sound good! Obviously, the choruses took the advice to heart this year, through the variety of performances they had. From the candlelight dinner concert, which opened the year, to singing at graduation, the choruses were kept busy learning new songs and improv- ing old ones. Highlighting the year for the Concert Choir was the selection to sing at the Northwest Music Educators confer- ence held in Billings. The choir was the only high school choir in Montana chosen for the honor. Chamber Choir members Allison Shackle- ford, Darla Stubbs, Trudi Seamons, Valarie Bos, Martha Ostlund, jolean Baker, Pam Straker, Edie Duncan, Shirley julian, Gretchen Burk. A one and a two!

Taking off to Los Angeles in May brought the year to a perfect close for the Northwinds, a select swing choir who performs around the community. From an audition tape, Northwinds was chosen to sing at the California- land Music Festival. Through various money-raising activities including sin- ging valentines and a Swing in Style pop concert, the group made the trip possible. They brought home a silver medal from the festival and souvenirs from Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm and California. Bozeman hosted the state music festival this year and the individuals who participated in it performed as well or better than expected. At the district music festival held in Helena, Mixed Chorus received an excellent rating while Chamber Choir received a superior. The Concert Choir finished Cotterell, Curt Halvorson, Marla Stasney, jay Hastings, Sheri Prunty and Clark Kelly. I . Superior Plus rated Concert Choir.
