Riley. Concert Choir is a group comprised of mostly Ju- niors and Seniors. It is a good group to get more vocal training before trying for a select singing group. They aren't a very large group like Soph- omore Choir, but that doesn't matter to them be- cause they have great pride in what they are doing and they really enjoy performing. Under the direc- tion of George Mantzke and their officers Pres. Randy Boekenoogen and V.P. Anna Meigs, they have had their share of performances. The first concert of the year was the Christmas Concert fol- lowed by the Swing and Spring Concerts. The big performances included the Armed Forces Concert and the Olympic League Festival at Central Kitsap where they combined with all of Bremerton's choirs and Central, North, and South Kitsap's choirs for a day and gave a very spectacular concert. 124 Concert Choir Above: Craig Peterson and Mike Mantzke

For those who don't know who the Mods are, they are Bremerton High's select mixed group. They'II sing anything from the ancient tunes to rock n' roll to jazz. With names as Booble , Pete , Ace , Fish , Pooh , Zeke , and Mr. Zeke that tells you that the Mods are wilder and crazier than ever too! The great person- alities of this group makes them as close as they are and as good as they are. But along with the crazy side of Mods, there is a serious side to them too. When it comes to singing they try their hardest. They performed for all school concerts and functions. Throughout the year, they have performed for the community, especially during Christmastime. They went to the Olympic League Festival and went to Pasco for a weekend of jazz competition. They really enjoyed their stay down there. They split into smaller groups for the Solo and Ensemble contest which was held here at Bremerton High. They re- ceived superior, excellent and good ratings. But the best memory we'II have of this year is the Blue Ensemble's great rendition of Ave Maria ???? Mod ,tif rV?VVVFVVVM

They learn all the basic techniques of singing and music theory. All in all, Sophomore Choir had a pretty good year. Their first per- formance was at the school's Christmas Concert. They also went over to Central Kitsap to the Olympic League Festival to com- bine with other local high school choirs to form a 400 voice choir. They performed a wide variety of songs such as the dramatic Battle Hymn of the Republic to the wild n' crazy iazz song Save the Bones for Henry Jones . They completed the year by sing- ing at the Spring Concert. Even though this group is just begin- ning they have great potential to become the best group Bremer- ton High ever had. Sophomore Choir!!!
