Blending different notes and coming up with a beautiful sound is not an easy task, but this year the Concert Choir did just that. From soprano to bass the singer's Voices Blended together in harmony. Various types of music enhanced their performances and emphasized their musical ability. Even though the acoustics were not the best, the Choir entertained many at the Christmas Concert. They gave many other concerts during the year. Paul Merriam instructed the Choir in many Musical ways. By exposing his students to different types of music and by providing the opportunity and a casual environment for practice, he gave his students a taste of what it would be like to be a professional singer. They learned to understand musical technology and even began to enjoy the frantic pace of preparing for performances Concert Choir entertains the audiences at the Christmas Concert. l3,4l.
