The Halls Are Alive with the Sounds of Music Sit up straighter and sup- port the tone! said Mr. Scott gruffly from behind the piano. The halls were alive with the sound of Eisenhowcr's four choirs. From the very beginning with freshmen all the way up to the upper classmen in concert choir and Tiptones, Mr. Scott was there. improving their sound. projection, and everything else that made the choirs here, the best in town. There was much more sub- stance to the choir hours than just a class where the students sang the hour away. Many went to contests and competitions, and there was an abundance of concerts that they performed. One of those concerts was held at Christmas time when old-fa- shioned and new-fashioned ear- ols were sung to bring the holi- day season in right. The students didn't use choir as an out to other classes. There were many who were se- riously considering making mu- sic as their vocation in life. There were many graduating 4 Choir ABOVE: HOLLY CORRINGTON. .lim Simon. and Michelle Miller dem- onstrate not only impressive voices, but also fine showmanship. r seniors who would pursue music in college. The years of training that Mr. Scott gave his students paid off in big dividends. He had ex- cellent students. and though in- eligibility was like a huge plague to him. the year of music at Eisenhower was a year full of great harmony.

la ing with Time Think musically. Watch your key signatures. Play with dynamics. There's got to be a difference between forte and pianissimo! commented Mr. Streight. Those were the sounds that drifted through the halls from the band room. The once medi- ocre band program at EHS was transformed into a force to be reckoned with. Director Dennis Streight's goals were met this year. With a Symphonic band ofover seventy and Concert and Cadet bands of thirty each, the band program gained depth. At the beginning of the year, the Marching Panthers, the Symphonic band, made the band community sit up and take notice. They won first place at the Shelbyville Band Aids com- petition and third place in the annual Christmas parade, as well as being asked to escort Santa into the Hickory Point Mall. With less than a month to prepare, the Symphonic band changed musical styles and added their fine performance with those of the Concert and Cadet bands at the annual Christmas concert. This year, all the bands here at EHS performed excellently and deserved a big round of ap- plause. Playin' .. .
