Modern musi c mastered A combination of many hours of practice, dedication, and a tremendous amount of talent were all factors in the success of the Madrigals. Being a Madrigal was not only an honor, but an activity requiring a great deal of work. Many times during the year, Madrigals rose early to attend practices. They also rehearsed daily in their second period class. Although the Madrigals usually received many invitations to sing, they were exceptionally busy during the Christmas season. Their schedule included recitals at the Mercedes-Benz Club and the Custis-Lee Mansion. While being a Madrigal was the highest honor in the choral department, being a member of Modern Music Masters was a high honor for all participants in the Music Department. Tri-M members were taken from the band and the choir. A major qualification for membership was participation in the music curriculum for at least two years. Prospective members applied to this elite group, and hoped to be accepted. Tri-M's main activities were a Variety Show in January and a spring recital for parents. Tired of their constant practicing, Carin Parker, Janet Bishop, and other Madrigals polish up another of their songs. Alto Leigh Harris sings her part while Butch Thomas follows the music and waits for the tenors' turn to sing.
