Hysteria Caps Year The ability to keep up with a Billy Idol song at an after-the-game dance is not enough to get you on the Dance Team. All members must be gifted with agility, flexibility, rhythm and creativity; be phys- ically fit; and pass an audition. Once in, they can look forward to daily rehearsals during class, lunch, after school, and Saturdays. The payoff comes during exhilarating live performances, like this year ' s Hysteria that occured on March 2 and The Dance Team also performed three dances at the Fountain Valley Choreographer ' s concert and joined Capo Valley in impressing students at the local junior high schools. Through dedication, re- sponsibility, patience, and cooperation, this group of 21 talented individuals, under the direction of Ms. Sara riealy, continued to distinguish them- selves as they have in years past. -f.l.

Variations in Voices The sound of music extends over the campus with styles ranging from jazz to pop. Three groups represent- ed the vocal music department: the Jazz Choir (led by President Ericka Morton and Vice-President Bert Hoopes): the Show Choir (Kristianne Epperson served as president); and the Madrigals (led by Jared Klingsicl and Crystal Matthews). Members were selected to participate in the many choir rehearsals and performances on the basis of auditions held during the last period of the spring semester. Com- petition was tough; some of those who auditioned were Ron Woods and Kim Coutts, both members of the Cali- fornia All-State Jazz Honor Choir, and eleven other Dis- trict Honor Choir members. Choir competitions ranged from the Cuesta and Fuller- ton College Festivals to festivals in Palm Springs and Tops in Pops in San Diego. What benefits did the singers gain? Joann Ferrick an- swered, Singing is my favorite way to express myself. For Jenny Dull singing wasn ' t just a school activity; it was an important part of her life. What would showers be without singing? she asked. The students gained knowledge of musical theory, choral literature, and hopefully, cultural taste, added Choral Director Ray Woods, -k.l.
