Shadows performs all over the communi- ty in such places as nursing homes and ele- mentary schools. lt takes a lot of work to create and put on a concert, but these peo- ple feel its worth it. They perform around fifty concerts a year. Shadows practices everyday during seventh hour, in order to perfect their voices, the group also calls ex- tra practices every so often. This musical organization has a special event every other year, they go on tour. This year they were given the chance to travel to Hawaii. Here they were judged and critiqued on their spectacular performances. While in Hawaii they performed in schools and The Polynesian Culture Center of Ha- waii. Each individual of Shadows had to pay a certain amount of money to go, but not all the money came from their own pockets. Fund-raisers for the group included selling magazine subscriptions, and Santa-grams during December. Santa-grams are an annu- al event with Shadows. During December students had the chance to buy a Santa-gram for 53.00. Shadows would then perform a song for the person of the students choice.

They won this and were given a Trophy for their outstanding performance. The group goes on tour every other year but this year was an off-year. The students seem to enjoy every tour they go on.
