The Choir Is Rewarded At Contest The choir had a new instructor who was Melodi Van Roekel. She and the choir spent many hours of vocalizing to prepare for the many concerts and contests that they participated in. Contest is a very busy time but the time proved to be rewarding to several students who participated in solos and ensembles. Some of the groups involved were: swing choir Sound Celebration. girls ensemble, boys ensemble, many duets and several solos. The choir also went to large group contest in Milbank on May 1st which turned out to be very rewarding. Here they were judged on three songs by three different judges. Individually the judges scores were a I-. a II+ , and a II. When the scores were averaged out the mixed chorus received a II + which they were very happy with. The swing choir also performed in their own concert. They then went on to participate at the NSC Jazz Festival in the class C division and won a second place trophy. All together, a new choral director, new sounds, and a great deal of patience from everyone gave way to an enjoyable year for the choir.
