There were seventy people, in the organization, both males and females. In order to partici- pate in Concert Choir these students were required to audition. The auditions were strict especially for girls. A major require- ment was they must be able to read music. The director was Steve Meiningerg Sue Boettcher was student director, and Carin Clarke, Accompanist. The students of Concert Choir sung most- ly religious, soft, and entertaining songs. They only practice once a day, during school hours. Concert Choir performed five con- certs a year, which are in school. They did, however, perform in The Battle of the Choirs. 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. Fund-raisers for this event generally include selling maga- zine subscriptions and pizzas. Concert Choir is a collection of the finest voices in our school. Kryssi Wyckoff commented The most interesting people in the school are in Concert Choir.

Kim Kelley plays her clarinet. The flute section has a solo. Instrumental Excellence Wind Ensemble was a special group of talented, qualified musicians. There were thirty-four members in the organization. These students must audition in order to participate in the group. During auditions they must prepare and play a solo and must be able to read music for their instrument. Once a group has been selected they meet and practice once a day to perfect the music they are required to perform. Wind Ensemble had four concerts during the school year, all performed at GMHS. Their performances showed how much effort they put into playing their instruments from the response their audiences gives. C.J. Shibly, the conductor, commented, Wind Ensem- ble is the top performing group of instru- ments at Green Mountain. Traditionally, their final performance of the year was play- ing for graduation at Red Rocks. X A Wind Ensemble waits for Director C.J. Shibly to start the next piece.
