Musical groups enjoy active, innovative year Beginning with a Pot Luck to introduce their parents to new director Ms. Hoffman, choral groups were involved in many activities this year. Performances at the Festival of Cultures in downtown Highland Park, local junior high schools, Uptown Federal Bank, and the high school highlighted the first months of school. Transforming the cafeteria into Benjamin Franklin’s dining room, 19 choristers presented a madrigal dinner in December. Holiday performances by the group included a debut at the Museum of Science and Industry and the Marriot Lincolnshire. A concert and a radio show ended the 1978 season. Ms. Hoffman also formed an all- girl swing choir. Their first performance was at the Whitehall Nursing Home. Singing for a music class at the University of Illinois at Champagne, a Spring Festival in March and in a Focus on the Arts Concert, in May filled the choral groups spring calendar. The HPHS bands had an equally busy year. Shows at the area junior high schools, the high school, and a competition down state were just a few of the band’s activities. 27
