Trying a new eTTecT in our ChrisTmas program, The chorus began by singing SilenT NighT Trom The balcony of The Junior High AudiTorium. The audi- Torium was compleTely darlc as The voices came Trom above giving a very wierd echo eTTecT. ATTer pro- ceeding down The aisles, The lighTs sTiIl noT on, The chorus approached The sTage which was decoraTed wiTh a huge church window, wiTh lighTs shining Through iT and The gold pipes oT a church organ. As The chorus sang Their selecTions, The house lighTs gradually goT lighTer and lighTer, unTil aT The end oT The program The lighTs were very brighT and Two huge ChrisTmas Trees, one on each side oT The sTage, were liT wiTh very colorTul lighTs. Two oT our ballerinas, Carol Ericlcson and Jaclrie Parker, pre- senTed a baIIeT To Tchailcovslcy's Sugar Plum Fairy.
