Dedicated To Choir S Rick Plants keeps the girls in time. ery pleased is one way to describe teacher Rick Plants' reaction to the Girls' Choir this year. K'This year's choir is by far the best and most enjoyable group of girls l've been able to work with. Plants commented. He noted that the Girls' Choir has grown from 16 girls last year to 34 this year, and seemed to be more musically dedicated and interested in producing quality sound than any groups he has had in the past. Plants also said that the groups feeding into the Concert Choir continually improve, which raises choir quality all around. The girls sang at four concerts as they learned Mr. Plants' style and trained to move to more advanced groups. Favorite songs included HSunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof, 'KShips,' by Barry Manilow, uBless the Lordn from UGodspell and 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' which was originally sung by the Andrews Sisters. f XX l t s f.

VGCAL ENSEMBLE One Big, Happy Family ocal ensemble members spent time before, during and after school working on the perfection of the musical sound that they produced throughout the year. The group took first place in choir competition in San Diego, California. An excellent rating was given to the choir for their hard work, dedication and most of all, good sound. The ensemble sang for Christmas parties, for the retired teachers, the bowlers at Greenwood Bowl and the judges at the Madras Music Festival. The group performed in all but one concert and soloists sang out in the Solo Ensemble Contest at COCC. The jazz festivals which the group planned to attend in Newport and Pasco, Washington, were cancelled due to lack of funds. The main goal of director Rick Plants was to give each student a chance to perform as a soloist and improve his or her attitude about their voice. Plants was immensely proud of the ensemble and commented, They're the best l've had in my years of teaching. The group has an excellent blend and their sound is good. The kids are close which makes it like one big family. s JR J? Ensemble singers lift their voices high, Ron Houser serenades an audience

Concert Choir members perform i'The Creation. he Concert Choir had been busy from the moment school started in September until it ended in June. They planned to attend a music festival in San Diego, California. Approximately twenty thousand dollars was needed to make the trip. About 32,000 was made at an enormous garage sale in which over 100 families donated items to sell. Raffling off 100 gallons of gasoline and a spaghetti feed were also big money raisers. A few of the Southern California tourists sites taken in were Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, the San Diego Zoo and San Diego State University, where the vocal ensemble contest was held. The choir received a superior rating and brought home a second place trophy. The only staged show that the choir presented was The Creation. 'iThe Creation was a musical reproduction of God's creating the earth. lt took God seven days to perform his act and the Concert Choir took fifteen minutes, Brings Home Honors At Competition Front, left: Cindy Dodd, Francine Murrieta, Sherri Springer, Lori Tucker, Ronelle Catlett, Diane Turn- bull, Kristi Stangland, Tom Blakely, Brendon Ad- ams, Steve Austin, Margaret Shepard, Lisi Wil- lingham, Chris Benson, Bonnie Riser, Michelle Houle, Kelly Rapp, Michelle Cutone, Kari Hill, Mary Knoke.
