Competition Crystal's Concert Choir has received many compliments on their musical talent, but the most prestigious one was the first place rank- ing at a Kansas City competition held in May. Throughout the year the choir had sold candy in efforts to raise money for the trip and their hard work paid off] They also held a fund rais- er contest at which they performed in quartets and duets songs of the past. Choir Officers: Susan Bhat, Jeff Vanderiaan, and Amy Perry.

Selected for District Band Each fiovember, Crystal High School musicians prac- tice for long hours preparing themselves for the day they will be handed a fresh sheet of music to be performed be- fore judges. This test of tal- ent is more than a critique of musical ability. It is each mu- sician's chance to demon- strate his or her mastery of grace under pressure. Three examples of such talent are David Kremling, Paul Rose and Andrea Raines who re- ceived top rankings when they made All District Band this year; David on drums, Paul on piano and Andrea on clarinet. Congratulations! 23

Students Sing a Note of Fraise It was only a Lew years ago that both Crystal City High School choirs had not been music to everyone's ears. There was little pride in being a choir member. Since the arrival of Mr. Cotter, that has changed drastically. In only two years he has turned the choir around so much that they are believed to be the best sound in Jefferson County. Students per- ceive choir as a big honor. They claim that Mr. Cotter is stern and demanding, which makes them want to be top notch. Their behavior in public owes itself to Mr. Cotter s high expectations. He s taught us a lot. We really respect him, they gloat.
