5 ll the comedy and trials of a real family' An array of purple gowns and black tuxedos fill the auditorium stage. From the audience, one can sense the individualism 'each performer possesses, yet at the wave of a hand, all unite to pro- duce one beautiful sound of harmony and precision. How is such an act accomplished? A lot of work and achieve- ment result from the producing of our school's unique and talented group of singers. Our choir has all the comedy and trials of a real family, grinn- ed Chorale Vice-President Lisa Moorman. ln just two years the choir has had to adjust to a new instructor and as Teresa Nutt explained, learn to work with each other and not depend on just a few figureheads to do all the work. As a result, feelings of togetherness and belonging gave members the strength to meet the standards of this busy year. The Christmas season proved very productive as the choirs ap- peared on the Ron Stone Show, a thrilling first and great test of ability. More events included their annual Christmas concert, where they hosted the Dean Jr. High choirs, and a special presen- tation for elderly residents at the Bayou Glenn Nursing Home. In the realm of competition, six students made District and All Region Choir. Lisa Moorman, Tamara Price and John McKinney placed in the top eight of their Regional divisions, progressing to the Houston Area tryouts. The Ll.l.L. Solo and Ensemble Contest resulted in both madrigals receiving superior ratings, as well as eighteen students placing the same in solo competition. ln April, the Chorale Girls Choir brought back a first division rating from the Ll.I.L. Concert and Sightreading Contest, a feat not ac- complished in three years. Another highlight of the year was participation in Once Llpon a Mattress, the joint dramatic musical venture with the Drama Department. This successful production, along with other perfor- mances, gained choir their much deserved respect and apprecia- tion as an important organization of our school. As their director, Mrs. Linda Emanuel is the backbone of the choir program and has cultivated a special spark within her students. Lisa explained, Our choir has a peculiar trait. We can drive Mrs. Emanuel crazy - to the point she's fretting our appearance on stage. But once we are in the limelight something happens. We come alive and we sound great!
