The Heritage Singers also gained a new look and sound with the addition of contemporary costume and music repertoirs. The department, composed of three choirs: the Girls ' Choir, the Cadette Choir, and the Concert Choir, combined to present a Fall Festival of Song and a program for the lighting ceremonies of the Christmas decorations in downtown Franklin. The annual Madrigal Dinner was held in the cafeteria on December 17. They also presented a January con- cert and the musical, Bye, Bye Birdie. One pupil expressed it best when he said, Sure it was a lot of hard work for everyone, but I can ' t wait until next year to start working again! 28
