Shrills of excite- ment filled the halls as the estatic new members of Capital Singers dreamt of the oncoming year. l've always dreamt of be- ing in Capital Singers ever since I heard of them. Now I finally am, quotes Cyndy Andersen. Many choir students seemed to look up to Singers members. It's a goal to push and aim toward. Capital Singers had some goals of their own to aim for. As January rolled around, Jazz Festi- vals lingered in the distant future. Dis- trict Ill arrived on Feb- ruary 5, and Moscow on February 27. Ad- justing from the busy Christmas season, with more than I5 performances in 21 days, took alot of work and patience. Preparation is the key to a good choir. Hours of dedication and determination all go into having a Ist rate performance. After performing for the IEA Convention at the Red Lion on January 9, it was ap- parent that a lot of work was needed for that wanted perfec- tion. While Shane and Frank practiced in the mens res- troom, Pat and John shook hands with the guests, and Don, Jon, 81 Matt made sure everything was set up okay, the rest of the Singers pre- pared themselves mentally for the up- coming show. A lot of the people that come into the bath- room enjoyed us! said Frank Young, Capital Singers IO5

And that's exactly what they worked for. Capital Singers to me has been a way to express the Capital Code of Ex- cellence-there's nothing that can compare to the closeness that you feel. Hopefully I have done my best to keep up the tradi- tion, expresses Martin Prows. Shane Russell, alto saxo- phone player, felt that Singers is a great opportunity for us band people like myself and Frank Young, to get in- volved with the sing- ing aspect of the mu- sic department. Paul Seideman re- plied that, ult really gives you a chance to be important. Eveyone is as valu- able as everyone else. And Don Allers, president, said that, The exper- iences we gain from Capital Singers and the people involved are invaluable. The group becomes so close throughout the year that the satis- faction of being the best comes less from the success itself than from the people we're sharing it with. Tears trickled down the cheeks of the members as hugs were exchanged be- tween 3l people who were now family- singing in harmony forever, in their voices AND hearts. .'z Taking a short nap, Don Allers waits for his turn to play, Giving Kevin Harper the eye, Nancy Riley ponders the idea of shooting him.
