Small groups of selected musicians include KCHS Singers and Pep Band members who perform their Sftetiml %mcC The KCHS Singers performed in their new outfits for the first time at a concert staged in October. This select group of vocalists not only sing, they also put on their dancin' shoes, in numbers chorographed by vocal instructor Mrs. Cynthe Staehr. This year the choir sang popular songs from Survivor and Kool and the Gang. In March Mrs. Staehr took 16 singers to Chadron to a competition. Jon Heidemann said, I thought we did a great job, and we also had a lot of fun. Almost any Friday or Saturday evening during December, January, and February you could find Pep Band members red and white striped shirts, whistling the theme from Magnum PI. This uniformed group of entertainers play for most home games. Why do these band members dress alike and play with such great enthusiasm? Megan Brighton said, “It's a fun way to get extra points, and a better grade on your report card.” Sharon DeFreece said, It's fun to watch the game and be with your friends. Sally Merante said, I enjoy playing for people, and I think people like to listen. THE SOUND SYSTEM made it possible for Mrs. Staehr and the show choir to include Fire in the Furnace and I'll Be Seeing You in their performances. EVERYONE enjoys getting into the act, including band diiector, Mr Harry McNees SHOW CHOIR Front Row —Pennie Maginnis, Ion Staehr, Barb Hall, Robert O'Brien, Laurie Dunkin, Dave Evertson, Tiffani Reader; Second Row-Randy Kramer, Kelli Spires, Tyler Correll, Dawn Patterson, Scott Robbins, Krista Bashaw, Mike Perry; Third Row— Chanda Morrison, Jon Heidemann, Todd Wentz, Rochael Soper; Fourth Row—Erik Nielson, Stephanie Perry, Tracy Anderson, Jamie Nelson
