Robe Keepers Debbie Babl and Susan Jones examine the freshly cleaned robes while Librarians Vicki Phillips and Janet Luther search for musical selections for the chorus. Under the new direction of Mr. Robert Reichert, KCHS's vocal department expanded to include a new Sophomore Choir and Madrigal as well as the traditional varsity and freshman choruses and Swing Choir. Activities for the groups included three concerts, musical and music contest. Varsity Choir also presented a special Veteran's Day program and attended a clinic with Alliance and Sidney at Alliance. At the request of various organizations, the small groups performed at many community functions. Swing Choir members, who were selected by auditions open to all three choruses, sang contemporary and traditional favorites. Composed entirely of sophomores, Madrigal used period costumes to accentuate their performance of Renaissance style love ballads. Included in the new ideas he brought to the music department, Mr. Reichert initiated Showcase. Presented after school, this program gave students a chance to demonstrate their talents and gain confidence in their musical abilities.
