Exciting performances for the Nebraska Rural Community School Association’s State Convention in Kearney, the NTCC Jazz Festival in Norfolk, the first ever Hildreth Jazz Festival, and numerous performances at school concerts and public activities helped to build the group’s confidence. This year’s group was larger than ever before, with 10 boys and 10 girls selected, giving the group a larger look and sound. Many hours were spent before school perfecting the many songs to be used in the “Treble Makers” repetolre, and the members were well received wherever they performed. Clark Bauer received additional recognition this year as the tenor received a soloist award at the Northeast Technical Community College Jazz Festival for his solo In “It Was Almost Like A Song”. The swing choir began to develop Its own style in 84-85, as their new outfits showed off the laid-back jazz style of songs the group specialized in during the past year.

Conference Choir Clinic, Christmas and Spring Concerts, a “Puttin’ on the Hits” contest, as well as District Music Contests and another visit from the Gulizias, all provided members of the chorus a wide variety of musical encounters to be experienced. With the addition of an Honor Choir at Choral Clinic, eight members of the Chorus were selected to sing in a Special Ensemble before students from around our Conference. Speech choir pieces like “Basketball , a german song, and lip syncing popular hits were new ways in which the Mixed Chorus learned to perform.
