With a group of nearly forty students the sound possi- bilities were endless. Even though there were a great deal of problems in the first semester the mixed chorus got their act together and went to District competi- tion. With the addition of many first-time choral students much of there time was spent studying music theory. Sight-read- ing and rhythyms were a major part of the choral competitions. A section of the semester exam also depended on the stu- dents abilities in these areas. One of the problems with the mixed chorus was there discipline, said the President of the chorus Richard David- son, Without self-discipline organization is impossible. Even though some students may have felt that the Show Choir was favored, the mixed chorus showed that through self- discipline and a lot of hard work conflict- ing students can pull together to perform beautiful choral work.

The Girls Chorus, called Fantasia , was composed of many dedicated singers whose goals were set high this year. As Julie Owens stated, It ' s a starting point for a possible future career, Mrs Hoyt has taught me the fundamentals of music which are necessary to the music career. Shows were few and far between but the experience was there to stay. Learn- ing of choral works and performing for competition was the more valuable ex- periences in the eyes of the rising young singers. Rachel Ginn got her start in the Girls chorus and in a matter of weeks became the Band-Aid for the Show Choir. She said, For me C-period helped me be- come a better musician.

Rainbows Are Visions The Guys and Dolls , mixed quartet was achieved through a series of changes which hurt some feelings along the way. The Guys and Dolls were a group of talented musicians with the intent of close, four part harmony. This year there were originally two quartets. The Gingham girls who had to fill two available positions through au- ditions and the guys quartet the Quadro- phonic sounds, those were the original two. They consisted of Laura Metzger, Ann Batus, Sandy Howell, and Pam Krolczyk. The guys quartet consisted of Phillip Sylvester, John Cassandra, and Richard Davidson, Ted Tracey. We came up with the idea of combin- ing the quartets because they were not working out, said lead singer Pam Krolc- zyk. Working with a quartet takes a lot of work, said Tenor Richard Davidson, We even had to give up a few days of our Christmas vacation to rehearse for the All-State Convention.
