Show Choir now ' Scarlet Company ' By now, some people might be confused. At the first of the year the Choir was called Show Choir. Then it was changed to Scarlet Company . The cause of the change was that Ms. Chamber- lin and Show Choir decided that not too many people really knew what ' Show Choir ' meant. So that ' s when they changed the name of the choir to Scarlet Company. When Scarlet Company per- formed or gave a concert, they had a certain dress code. Each of the girls wore a black skirt with a blouse and vest, and each of the boys wore black pants with a red shirt. Scarlet Company included 28 members. The Scarlet Company gave a variety of performances. They per- formed at retirement homes and also went to other schools and sang. One of their biggest perfor- mances was given in May. They sang songs that were taken prim- arily from several musical plays, such as Fiddler on the Roof and The Wiz. The performance also included costumes and props. SCARLET COMPANY.

Scarlet Company has no trouble practicing for performances, since their work entails singing, which comes natural to them. Aw come on you guys; give me a break. That seems to be the expres- sion junior Bernie Woods has on his face, as he again puts on his suit coat backwards. This may not be the first or last time this has hap- pened to a Scarlet Company member. ROW 1: Ms. Chamberlin. ROW 2: Lisa Baie, Lisa Crowell, Cindy Colburn, Jenny McDowell, Pat Turpin.

Three different teachers create year of interest in Music Dept. Many changes occurred in the Vocal Music Department in the first few months of school. Mr. Carnes, the vocal music teacher for IOV2 years, resigned in November. Temporarily taking Mr. Carnes ' s place was Mrs. Drucker, previously a Special Ed Teacher. On January 3, vocal music classes were given to Miss Chamberlin, previously vocal music teacher at Goodrell Junior High, and Mrs. Drucker returned to the Special Education Depart- ment. Concert Choir ' s main objective was to make beautiful music together ' and they succeeded. Concert Choir included 39 stu- dents, all with one common inter- est, the love of music. They performed at various junior high schools, including Goodrell, Hiatt, Hoyt, and Wilson. The group sang a variety of music, but their greatest undertak- ing was Trial By Jury, an oper- etta by Gilbert and Sullivan. The operetta, which was performed at the Spring Concert held in May, was one of comical satire, complete with costumes, props, and make- up. Choir members display a look of satisfac- tion during a performance. CONCERT CHOIR.
