Choir shines with talent Kelly Greene, Kin Mitchell, Gary Sholter, and Jose Lope2 concentrate on their part. in many di-f-ferent ways The Coquille choir consisted of 42 students. The officers of the choir were president Nancy Ellis and secretary Dolores Miller. The choir usually had fund raisers such as selling different things at basketball games. It wasn't possible for the choir to get any fund raisers during the year. The money that is usually raised for choir was used for new music and dinner money when they went to festivals that were far away. The festival that the choir attended took place in Brookings on April 3. Many different schools traveled from around the area to compete and be Judged for a grade. Coquille did well. They received an A which was very good. There were only three concerts and one festival. The first concert was the Christmas concert which took place with the band. The second concert was the pop concert and the songs were various popular tunes. The third concert was the spring concert which featured all all kinds of music. Mr. Dorsett had a few talented girls in the choir and they play the piano for the concerts, they are Sarah Kreick, Diane Hedeen, Valerie Short, Shelley Reyna, and Kathy Finnegan. Shelley Reyna said, We had fun with many songs, the favorite one was Africa by Toto, and You Are by Lionell Richie because they were hit songs. Mr. Dorsett used a recorder for the first time so there would be a band in the songs they sang. Mr. Dorsett and the students were very pleased with this because there was a variety of instrumental sounds and the parents seemed to enjoy it also. One humerous highlight during the pop concert was some problems getting the newly-introduced records to work. It worked fine after a breif delay that was punctuated with some ear-popping screeches from the malfunctioning recorder. The choir was smaller by about 20 students because the class was scheduled in seventh period instead of in the morning.
