High Quality Achieved Chorale is the highest honor to be attained in music here at Reagan, according to Mr. Ken Steele, director. Along with this honor came many long, hard hours of rehearsing, and after that a number of appearances and performances. October brought the Music Department’s Fall Concert. Chorale, along with the other choirs, sang many selections. Jill Hoke, Patrice Forge, and Corliss Kitchens performed in a trio. Also, Perry Durkee sang a solo. Amahl and the Night Visitors was the Christmas program given by the Choral Department. The play, which starred Patti Warford and Carrie Franklin, was presented in the Windsor Park Baptist Church. Other Christmas festivities included caroling at several schools and meetings. They sang at the Capitol and also at the AISD administration Christmas Party. In March, the Chorale members taped a TV program on KVUE. The show, Vera Jones' People VUE, was aired on March 6. When spring came. Chorale and Varsity Choir members traveled to Galveston. There, at Sea-Arama, they participated in the Choral Festival. We strive for the highest quality of performance and musicianship as well as trying to maintain a close relationship with each other, said Mr. Steele. At the UIL Choral Concert Sightreading Contest, the Chorale received a I in Sightreading and a I in Concert to win the Sweepstakes Award. Only three other Austin high schools received the same rating and honor. CHorole — 117
