DCHS students who are members of special vocal ensembles are selected by audition. A prerequisite in these groups is that the student must be enrolled in a class of the music department. One of the year's highlights at the Oracle-Fest was Top 20's Tribute to the Thespiansf' They presented a medley of tunes from past musicals that had been produced on the DCHS stage. Special choreography added an interesting effect. An all-girl musical group, the Del- phettes consists of two vocalists and two accompanists. One lone male mans the drums. The group gives generously of their time to commu- nity affairs and participates in state contests. The Barbershop Quartet lends their voices to renditions of old-time songs at many functions. They received high ratings at state and dis- trict music contests.

Y Sift? i A CAPPELLA ATouclvOf7MNewf i 5 Ss is 5 assi- i 3 ' X i g, , J , 22 5- ln. ,,.,. ., 5 es The talented A Cappella choir is made up of singers who also belong to other musical groups. A cappella music - the term literally in Italian means in chapel style - is music sung without instrumental accompani- ment. The voices must blend with just the correct amount of volume and timbre to produce the desired musical tones. The voices must be on pitch - no instruments can cover flaws. The vocalists participated at the Oracle-Fest and the state contest in Kokomo. The bright and lilting tones of the Madrigal singers bring to their audi- ences a style of music that was devel- oped during the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries. Madrigals are short lyric poems set to music and sung in parts. Watching and listening to the colorfully costumed singers, one could almost imagine oneself to be back in an English courtyard in the Elizabethean era. MADRIGAL
