,Z 'Lil f f 'Ll' E Z Q fi?- fl? FNZ' CI K Students who enjoy their talents find aplace to share them at IHS Lights, camera, action! These are the words generally associated with the art of performing. Contrary to popular belief, not all performing is done on a stage or in front of a thousand unknown faces. Performing occurs in a number of creative scholastic areas such as choir, drama, band, and debate. To be involved in any of these courses a student must not only have talent, but must also have perfected the art of memoriza- tion. Choir and band students obtain a vast knowledge of music, while dramatists labor over the impossible task of memorizing their lines five minutes before a tournament begins. Much to the distress of students, teachers regularly preach that prac- tice and performing go hand in hand and the old, but true cliche that practice makes perfect. Thus, the musically enraptured choir students practice their scales for hours on end and reluctant dramateers practice projecting their voices into the audience. The conception of scholastical performances involves students with determination, willing to march for long, cold hours blowing a rain-filled tuba, to dry parched throats after drama and debate rehearsals. But toilsome, laborius practicing is well worth the while when you are con- gratulated on a job-well-done. These elective courses which breed the Barbara Striesands, Louis Armstrongs, and Marlon Brandos of the future, provide an aura of lear- ning fun and excitement to an otherwise, shall we say, tiresome curriculum. Subjects which enable a student to indulge himself in the art of performing also teach him in- dividual confidence and self- discipline-two elements necessary to get along in the world. The phases of performing are many. The choirs perform at concerts and assemblies, the bands at football games and competition and the dramatic classes perform at tour- naments and within the school. The excitement of performing, the thrill of victory, and the disappointment of defeat all have their place among the confusion and pleasure of perfor- ming.

RIGHT: Madrigal Choir members, Paul Dunn, Dusty Hoskins, Becky Creever, and Kathryn Young labor over the task of learning new Christmas music. RIGHT: Renee Duncan, Beth Rogers, Susy Davis, and Sharon Dorman study their scripts before presenting their rendition of Don't Drink the Water in drama class. The sounds of silence are foreign to performing students Entering into the inescapable world known as the music hall , one will discover that 'fquiet and serene are definitely not ap- propriate descriptions for this musically oriented section of the school. With tenors on the left and tubas on the right it is easy to unders- tand why music directors are oc- casionally found leaping from lights and screaming for Q-U-I-E-T ! From behind the doors of the choir rooms have emerged musical selections from Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer to Handel's Hallelujah Chorus . To those of us not involved in choir, it seems like a fairly simple subject. But do not say that to the half-asleep students who arrive at 7:30 each morning for sec- tion rehearsals and spend fifty-five minutes each day standing on wobbly risers. Mr. Moore drills the choirs in scales and pronunciation refusing to accept anything short of perfect. And a one, two, one, two, three! Suddenly the halls come alive with the sound of music and so starts another hour of band rehearsals. The band has proven its outstanding abili- ty in marching and competition by not only being rated superior in its region, but also being named Best at Bell. The band also received an ex- cellent rating in all areas of UIL competition, highlighting a year of superb performance. Do not be surprised if one day you happen to be quietly passingthrough the halls, minding your own business, and out from nowhere pops a strange-looking character clad in an assortment of borrowed garments, shouting at the top of his lungs.
