At the beginning we were discouraged be- cause we were an all girl choir, ex- plained Theresa Montoya. But now we feel as if we ' re better than ever be- fore! A new sound and image were brought about through the many changes that occured dunng the year. We have a new format this year. We ' re doing dif- ferent arrangements geared to female voices, said Julie Stewart. In addition to a different sound, the group changed their look. Pam Devries ex- claimed, Concert Singers gets to wear formats! Because of their small size and female membership, traditional choir robes were put away, allowing the girls to present a show choir image. While concentrating on their various changes, the chorus kept themselves very busy with many activities. Conva- lescent homes, country clubs and an all district choral festival were some of the performances scheduled for Christmas. In between concerts the chorus raised money for the Concert Singers and a three day tour to the Magic Mountain Choral festival. Fundraising and work- ing together created a family feeling within the group. Being good friends, working hard, believing in yourself, and going for it! were the causes Natasha Hale cited for the choir ' s success. Concluded Linda Briggs, It takes unity and desire to make something successful, including the willingness to work hard for H. ir - Concert Singers CONCERT SINGERS, FRONT ROW: Julie loyd, Micheie Quine, Noelie Baiia, Jennifer Oppel, Stewart, Antoinette Dorado, Jill Smith, Pam Watts, Carriane Hayslett, Kim Lee.
