Music to sooth the savage beast? D on't touch! was a common phrase heard around the choir room. No, it wasn't a joke, song, or dance. It was, however, a warning about a new rule, or the next time you were hung. But what was meant by this anyway? There were three constant reasons for the Don't touch rule: CAD Don't touch the freshly painted mural on the back wall, CBJ Don't touch the newly rebuilt grand piano, unless of course you are the accompanist: and QCD Don't touch the newly purchased sound shells with even one finger. For- tunately, many did heed the warnings, so there were few executions The untouchables were not the only things that altered student's lives. The format of rehearsals were changed as each choral member was required to join and perform with an ensemble. This meant, every student spent ap- proximately one hour a week crammed into a practice room with 15 other peo- ple, despite the fact that the practice rooms had barely enough space for a piano and accompanist. Lack of elbow room wouldn't have been bad if it hadn't of been hot and stuffy. One of the most important facets of choral music, said Mr. Fehrmann, choral di- rector, is the small ensemble. Stu- dents in Concert Choir and Freshman- !Sophomore Choir are now provided with this experience. Gaining that experience wasn't al- ways easy. At the fall concert, a vocal- ist might have found himself forgetting the music, singing without direction, or realizing how tired his feet were get- ting. But, everyone survived and came back to entertain at the Toys for Tots Christmas Concert. Here, every person got in the action as audience and vocal groups joined in singing car- ols. The music department even ar- ranged for Santa to visit and distribute candy to the children. As winter settled in, life seemed to slow down, but then suddenly it was time for the choirs to get ready for the many activities. While Concert Choir was preparing for festival, Freshman- !Sophomore Choir was kept busy with a tour of most the grade schools, and recruiting new members at the junior high. Along with baseball and spring, came time for the band to join the choirs for a concert picnic at Riggs Park. Follow- ing performances, vocalists sold hot dogs and Cokes. But, the grand finale came at graduation where Concert Choir was combined with Freshman- !Sophomore Choir to sing the beloved Alma Mater. .Lf . N A r s',. ga Q Mlm s si 3 h 'lr ff.
