It was or- ganized to provide a singing experience for all interested students. Students are required to have a year's experience in this group before auditioning for the Concert Choir. The Varsity Choir started their year off with a performance at the Christmas Choral Concert in Dec. They entered Valley Conference Large Group Contest in Shakopee in April. The effort the group showed was evident in their fine performance. The group appeared May 22 in con- cert at Central Middle School and rounded out their ye ar with a performance in. the Spring Concert along with other musci- cal groups. Eden Prairie is one of the few schools in the conference with more than one mixed choir and we can be proud of the accom- plishments of this group.

After some shuffling, the year ended with 55 members. The band had a very active year which began with per- formances at pepfests and football games. The fall concert was presented with an old fashioned theme. To raise money for the Spring tour, the band sold chocolate bars during lunch periods. Basketball season brought out the pep music for half-time entertainment once again. In January, the band traveled to Mankato State College where they gave a concert and attended a clinic. The annual Pops Concert brought out the musical and comical talents of the band members. Through music, skits, and costumes, the history of jazz was portrayed.
