l Choir Ranks The vocal music program at Cholla con- sisted of five choirs - Beginning Boys Choir, Beginning Girls Choir, Concert Choir, Chol- laires Ensemble, and Intermediate Chorus - a new choir this past year at Cholla. The T65 choir students at Cholla were busy through- out the year singing for various events and performances. These included a perfor- mance with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Tucson, two concerts at the San Xavier Mis- sion, a Spring Concert, Beginning Choir and All-City Choral Festivals, 3 performances of UWest Side Story, and the Chollaires Showcase. Cholla singers earned 8 superior and 6 excellent ratings in the AIA Solo-En- semble festival, and placed TO singers in the South Central Regional Choir, the most ever at Cholla. Enthusiasm for singing and per- forming was high all year, as the students consistently improved under the direction of Mr. Williamson. With the good quality of voices and attitudes displayed in the Begin- ning, Intermediate, and Concert Choirs, the future ofthe vocal music program at Cholla High School is very bright. Due to the rebuilding year in the vocal music program, the Chollaires were a small- er group numbering about 14. The member- ship also fluctuated a lot because of students learning due to class conflicts and other rea- sons. But even with complications like these, the Chollaires still put in much hard work and gave many fine performances. Some of the outstanding students in the group were: Glenn Parks, Veronica Esquibel, Tim Garcia, Jona Hrdlicka, Sabrina Meadows, and Kim Winters. Most of Cholla's Solo Ensemble Fes- tival and Regional Choir participants were members of the Chollaires. With the com- bined efforts of returning members and new singers coming up from intermediate and concert choir, next year's Chollaires Ensem- ble should be a strong and talented group. Special thanks to Mr. Williamson for his as- sistance. - By LaTrice Brewster 119 Excellent And Superior sl gf' -1, 5 I First Row.

Boys' and Girls' Beginning Chorus The Beginning Choir program at Cholla consists of 65 students, 50 of Beginning Girls, and T5 in Beginning Boys Chorus. Most of these students are freshman, and about half had no previous singing experience. Besides learning more about singing and per- forming for various concerts, students practice music reading skillsand study music history and music theory. The main purpose of the Beginning Choir is to prepare students for promotion into the Intermediate and Advanced mixed choirs. These students are tea- tured at the Jr. High Schools to recruit eighth grade singers for the next year's chorus, and are given several other opportunities to perform as well. After learning the necessity of discipline and hard work, Beginning Choir students can become valuable future members of Cholla's Intermedi- ate and Advanced Choirs.
