One last look at Swing Choir ... the 1983-84 edition of the Hildreth Swing Choir enjoyed an excellent year, traveling across the state, performing for many groups, and showing that a lot of hard work truly does pay off. The group, picked by audition for students in grades 9 - 12, began rehearsing last September and among their performances were shows at the NSCC Choral Clinic, the Midland Jazz Festival in Fremont, the NRCSA State Convention in Kearney, along with performances for schools in Arnold and Callaway. The Swing Choir spent many long hours before and after school and on weekends preparing for performances, and its members should be congratulated for their efforts, as well as those of this year’s alternates, Brent Hinrichs, Amy Jo DeJonge and Valerie Russell, who all filled in excellently when members became ill or injured. Next year looks to be just as exciting, with the group expanding from six to ten couples and more opportunities for performances ahead.

 Mixed Chorus Adds Thai “Male” Sound f % 2 ll 1 fcy .ii.»» The Mixed Chorus at Hildreth in 1983-84 had 28 members, and in many ways resembled many of the choruses that have sung here over the years. The girls in the group once again did a fine job of bringing a strong sound to an otherwise small ensemble. But it was in the boys of the mixed chorus where a building of confidence was seen by many in the community, and it was with that confidence that the mixed chorus and swing choir achieved a great deal of success this past year. The chorus, directed again last year by Mr. Skrovan, once again traveled to the NSCC Choral Clinic, held this year in Bladen, as well as performing for the Christmas and Spring Concerts, and District Music Contest in Minden. The Mixed Chorus received an excellent rating at Contest, with the other smaller ensembles and soloists receiving either excellent (II) or superior (I) ratings. 1. The Mixed Chorus performs We Are The Reason for their Christmas pro- gram. 2. Amy Jo and Ronda embarass an unsus- pecting student from Arnold on the swing choir tour. 3.
