Others joined because it is a lot of fun. It is an honor to be in Forte, senior Libby Peeler said. Senior jeff Ieanes said, I have always been interested in music and I thought it would be fun and exciting. The choir members joined for the same reasons and because It gives me a chance to meet new people, junior Tina Henderson said. The choir arrived at 7:30 on Tuesday mornings to practice for the shows and concerts they gave. Although coming in the morning was tiring, I know it's worth it because you have to work hard to get good, Tina said. Others, like sophomore Melissa Medlock, said, I enjoy being in choir, and working in the morning gives us more time to correct things that are wrong. Although the choir came in the morning, Forte came after school and in the evenings to practice for their shows. Losing their voice or becoming hoarse was another problem both choir and Forte had to face. HI always become hoarse, it's even worse during a cold when no sound comes out of your mouth, Melissa said. To take a break from all the hard work, the choir members played football on Sun- days, when the weather permitted. They also ate at Chili's and Tequilla Willie's after bowling or any fun stuff we do, Tina said. Overall, the choir members were proud of the accomplishments they had achieved. Because the satisfaction of getting a sweepstakes at contest is worth all the hard work, Tina said. Melissa had a different reason for feeling proud. I feel like I'm entertaining and that's what I like to do, she said. The Forte, however, also felt proud of their accomplishments and for being one of the few chosen to be a member of Forte. tliilleyl In preparing for one of their shows, director Mr, Woody Christman and Forte member junior David Cripe work after school painting props, ltjrawfordj Band -Organizations X153
