Improved Individual Sound Is Chief Goal of Choir and Band Individual performance was stressed in both the band and choir this year. In the choir, Mr. Johnson initiated short voice lessons with the intention of improving his singers' sight-reading abilities. A new requirement forthe band this year was that each member prepare a solo for a quarterly grade. Mr. Wilke hoped to improve intonation and tech- niques. ln both groups, student directors were given the opportunity to investigate the field of music as a vocation. Directing the band was Gary Hafvenstein. Stu- dents leading the choir were Anita Holt- zlider, Pat Siegfried, Lynn Elrod, Mary and Lisa Shaw, Bill Hill, Bill Scharz, Sandy Knobloch, Tom Sullivan and Gary Westlund.
