Choir tours Dixie, Canada; pit stop at McLendonis proves well The Evangel College Choir began its fall itinerary with a sweep of Arkansas, Ten- nessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Under the direction of Delbert Dugan, assistant professor of music, the 35 song- sters gave Dixie a sample of their sacred program. Among the choir's repertoire were We've a Story to Tell to the Nation, Holy, Holy, Holy, and Sweet Holy Spirit. They were well received everywhere they went. However, in Albertville, Ala., Dr. and Mrs. J. F. McLendon treated them to a special Thanksgiving dinner while enroute to a performance in Mobile. A tour through the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. was one of the highlights of their tour through the South. In the spring, the choir took an itinerary leading them through the northern states, climaxing their schedule with a stop at the Queensway Cathedral in Tor- onto, Ontario, Canada. Officers of the choir were junior Carl LeMon, president; junior Rick Walls, vice-president; sophomore Jan McDon- ald, secretary-treasurer; and junior Vir- gil Ilium, chaplain.

Chorale, Band provide culture Two auxiliary music groups which helped develop an aesthetic atmosphere on campus this year were the EC Chorale and the College Band. By holding a concert in the fall and in the spring, the Symphonic Band sought to provide the students with a representa- tive number of classical and contempor- ary selections. Among the works featured during the spring concert were Leroy An- derson's Bugler's Holiday, Delle Cese's lnglesina, and Copland's The Red Pony. John Shows, assistant professor of music, was the conductor for both semester performances. The EC Chorale, also concerned with providing local musical presentations, held a fall program in the Fine Arts building and branched out into the com- munity during the spring, singing at the African Methodist Church and the Na- tional Avenue Christian Church. Loren Pinkerman, instructor of music, directed the ensemble.
