Choir Leaves School Singing, With Smiling Paces And . . . Good Notes Nearly everybody has had a dream of being a singing star. Yet most have had to settle for an occasional chorus in the shower. Many shower singers fulfill their secret desires through the choir department. Whether it be Glee Club, Mixed Choir, or Select, Choir gives its members ample opportunities to do-re-mi to their hearts' content. The choir performed several different styles of music. From pop to classical madrigals, choir encompassed it all. During the fall, the emphasis was on the annual Christ- mas concert. Under the direction of Mr. Bob McConnell, the Christmas concert was the highlight of the festive season for the student body. It's really exciting to come up with a theme and then carry it out with the concert. I thought our skit, 'Twas the Night before Christmas,' was especially en- tertaining, sated junior John Adams. After the concert, the choir prepared for various solo and group contests. Four choir members were privileged to par- ticipate in All-State Choir. Senior Naomi Hatsfelt, juniors John Adams and Kristen Fox, and sophomore Bryan Black- well were selected to sing in the 200-member choir. During the spring, much of the choir's time was spent giving various performances around town, and in district and state contest. As always, the choir represented the school quite admirably. I'll always remember my choir days with fondness and think of the caliber of singers we had, summarized Naomi Hatsfelt. 124 Choir A ONE AND A TWO - Choir Director, Mr. Bob McConnell instructs members of Select Choir during fifth hour as they rehearse for the Christ- mas concert held December 21.

Choral Music Program Coronation Made For . . . Kings And Queens The Choir was probably the best that Charles Page High School has had since Robert McConnell took R.T. Shields' place as director over the vocal music department in 1979, Sydney Morrison commented. The choirs practiced every day, Select was fifth hour, Mixed was sixth, and Girls' Glee was second. Combined, they presented the 19th Christmas concert. The blend of voices was commented on and complimented by both stu- dents and adults that came to the night performance. I'm really proud of the choirs, they've done a good job this year, said director Mr. McConnell.
