OGETHE only gifs. In Moore and M s and girls. ln Lyras there are 'tln Apollyras there are guy ' ' orc there are select guys and V Y, - ' Y girls, that also dance besides ju st singing. Tha. only :lung - junior Roxanne Cunilw we have in common is singing. Apollyras, Moore andifMore, Lyras and the Spirit Stickers worked as a group in a close family atmosphere. j My favorite thingy about choir is the bond between the people, senior Courtney Duncan said. Almost every person in choir is good friends, or at least friends with everyone else. We have to rely on each other and have faith in one another or we will fall apart. Choir is not a solo: it's a group effort. Both males and females parti- cipated in Apollyras. Tryouts included sightreading and sing- ing. Apollyras received credit for creating the spirit stick eight years ago. Iuniors spent their year showing the seniors how much spirit they possessed, hoping to carrying the red, white and blue spirit-raising stick the next year. At the end of the year, seniors voted for the three most spirited Apollyras members to boost en- thusiasm at future athletic activities and assemblies. Hlt's like a crown that is in- herited after graduation, junior Susan Kanzenbach said. Lyras, the all-girls' choir, required no tryouts, just a desire to sing. Lyras gives us self-esteem, junior Lesa Cox said, especial- ly when we're doing a concert. For Moore and More, the show choir, qualifications in- cluded sightreading, singing and dancing. We are all working for the same thing, junior Candy M' I f f L I -My . .f 'f 'A . ttt,..,.,r.y ... , s ' Q t lia .3 s sstr. Horne? said. HWe want to become better. Each group sang a variety of music, from pop to jazz, classi- cal to religious and, of course, current popular hits. Ii love to sing, senior Steve Petrocelli said. Being in Apollyras gives me a chance to sing with a lot of terrific people and ia wonderful director. Choir director, Mr. Ralph Duncan, completed his ninth year of teaching students who described him as 'fa perfec- tionistu and very demanding, but most of all, a great friend. Moore has a reputation of having some of the best teachers in the state, senior Erich john- son said. With Mr. Duncan, it holds true. The seniors made initiation a grueling, unforgettable experi- ence for new members. Initiation was interesting. The seniors really got the juniors, junior Becky Pope said. i'Liver baby food isn't a favorite among late night snacks and most people don't cruise 12th with shaving cream and toothpaste in their hair and on their faces. Being in one of the choirs meant more than just having fun. 'Alt takes discipline and hard work to come up with some- thing you want to be proud of, junior Connie Peveler said. The choruses meant different things to different people, but all agreed that they were taught more than just the fundamen- tals of singing. E n front.
