Having been in the Escambians for two years, I felt the group had a successful experience under our past director, comments Sandra Manning. president. During my senior year in the Escambians, we had a tremendous challenge placed before us.

Tw. , ik' J Chorus Requires Hard Work, Effort Being a member of chorus requires a lot of hard work and effort, comments Tami Cochran. junior. lt is rewarding and brings out the best of one's singing abilities. The chorus displays its singing abilities to fellow classmates and teachers by performing during the Red Cross Memorial Service and the Christmas Concert. The student body was further entertained when a group called Eurydice performed. Eurydice, which means music of the goddess, is a new girls' singing group. Next year. girls who audition for the Escambians and are not selected will automatically become members of Eurydice. This year. the group performed at Myrtle Grove Baptist Church, at Llniversity Mall and at the annual Christmas Concert. These girls competed with groups from other schools at the district festival, and at the district solo and ensemble contests held at Fort Walton Beach High School, Feb. I2. The Escambia chorus is composed of those students who have shown an interest in music and want to expand their music capabilities. Nancy Hunt concludes. I enioy singing with Escambia's chorus and l feel a great sense of responsibility during competition. Miss Phyllis Merritt, former chorus teacher, transferred to another school at the beginning of the year, but her former intern, Mr. Mark Green. was hired to take her place. This year's chorus is one of the best that we've had around for awhile, comments Mr. Green. I think being a new teacher here is like being one anywhere: there are many unknowns involved and there are many things to learn.
