The Concert Choir was kept busy performing all year, and the hours of long, hard rehearsals were well worth the effort. The highlight was an invitation to perform in the Dori- an Festival at Luther College in Janu- ary. Luther's choral director, Wes- ton Noble, praised the concert as one of the finest by an honor choir in years. After the Dorian, the more re- laxed atmosphere of preparing for , Q the Mohawk Follies was a welcome ,QUQM relief, but there was still much hard ' ij N gy 1 work to be done. Among the other ' r activities members of the choir par- ticipated in were All-State, Christ- mas concert, home and state con- tests, and the spring concert. A spring tour was also planned for southern Iowa. BELTING ONE OUT - Dave Mujica. Richard West, Jim Menges, Kevin Berry, and Tom Marreel work on rich bass and tenor blend.

Members of the Chorale are chosen not only for their vocal ability, but also for their facial expression and ability to com- municate with an audience. This year the ChoraIe's audience appeal was given an additional boost by the purchasing of new outfits - red, white, and blue in accordance with this bicentennial year. The Chorale appeared before the student body, performed with the Choir at the Dorian Music Festival, and played a major role in the Fol- lies. They also sang for several civic organizations.
