Voices reach noted perfection Various voices blended to make up Marshall's choirs. Singing students filled the music department with melodies all year long, as they rehearsed for performances and built up their vocal skills. The Mixed Choir, consisting exclusively of Freshmen guys and girls, performed at the Christmas, Pop, and Folk Concerts. Their first year of enrollment in the choir program was the beginning of their Marshall singing career. Only females were allowed to participate in the Girls' Ensemble. Although smaller than the ensembles of previous years, the group retained a strong voice quality. This group also performed at various school concerts. Students chosen for the Concert Choir were usually experienced in music, or showed good potential. The choir contained almost forty members. They planned a musical exchange trip to a high school in Cocoa Beach, Florida during the spring. Members of all three choirs performed not only at school, but at other area locations. They sang at the Smithsonian Institution, Australian Embassy, Custis-Lee Mansion, and St. John's at Lafayette Square, to name a few. They were well-received wherever they performed. Cafeteria commotion is not appreciated by Erik Zenone, Mary Bedford, and Jane Gilmore; they prefer a quiet, leisurely lunch together in the choral room, where choir members often spend free time. Previous weeks of practice pay off for the Concert Choir as they perform in full dress at the Winter Concert. Concert Choir - Freni row: Kim Kicketson, Carol Carter. Leigh Harm. Laurie Weiier.

Construction for the Godspell production began long before school started. The cast and crew added new dimensions to the Marshall stage by extending three platforms over the front row seats, allowing the actors to perform closer to the audience.
