The Color And Flair Of Singing Throughout the years, Mon- acan Choruses have added both color and flair to many Monacan events. This year started off with the ‘‘Monacan Quartet Plus Six.’”’ This group of guys from the Chamber En- semble sang at many school events including the football games, pep rallies, and even at lunches. The many moods capable of being conveyed by the chorus was demonstrated in the Christmas Concert, with songs ranging from the opera +, COS aa Se it Sy Ny Fy RE sak eee! Choir Of Angels. The ladies of the Monacan Chorus programs sing and look lovely at the Spring Chorus Con- cert 46 Chorus style of the Poloretzian Dance by Borodin, to many popular, traditional favorites of today. Monacan also had an excel- lent representation in the All- Regional Chorus this year in both the junior and the senior choruses. On March 17 all the Mona- can choruses went to Clover Hill to participate in the 1984 Festival. The Chamber En- semble, Girls Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Combined Chorus competed with many schools from Chesterfield County and Surrounding areas. All the Monacan choirs received one or superior ratings in their per- formances. On April 3-8, the choruses, after raising over $3000, em- barked on a new encounter. They traveled on two Winn buses to Lake Buena Vista, Florida to compete in the Great Southern Choral Clas- Sic: To round out a great year, the choruses put on their an- WaeniincnnabeiniasisitmonTiiows nual Spring Concert. This in- cluded dance numbers by the mixed chorus, A West Side Story medley by the Chamber Ensemble, some oldies by the entire group that included songs from Fame, Pippin, and other favorites. In conclusion, special congratulations go to Mr. Christopher Todd With- ers and Miss Teresa Marie Binns both of whom were elected Most Outstanding Chorus Students.
