They improved from a 2, +2, and 3 at league to a 2, 2, and 1 at regional. To have gone to state, the choir needed two l's. 1 was real pleased ' remarks Duane Williams, choir director. 'They made some good progress. There are still things that need to be worked on though. An integral part of choir is warming up the voice.

When we warm up, we get to give each other massages. Mr. Williams points out, I don't use it all the time, but it helps — especially in the morning. A Top: Shawn Bruce wipes his eye clean.
