Choir entertains many audiences Keeping with the Choir's tradition of quality, the vocal music students used their singing talents to entertain many audiences. All choral groups participated in the fall, winter and spring concerts, along with the KingCo and State music contests. They also performed a holiday concert at the Seattle Center last December. The largest of the four vocal groups making up the Choir Department is the Concert Choir. Composed of 60 members, this vocal group sings classical music. The other vocal groups are Newport Singers, who sing Mandrigals and is composed of 15 members, Chorus with its 25 members singing many types of music and Knight Sounds, which is made up of I8 girls who center their music around pop and iazz. The Choir is now under the direction of Mr. Geroge Harshbarger, who with the help of Choir Presidents Ann Brogan and Kent Foster, kept the Choir at its best. Mr. Harshbarger commented, Newport has been an enioyable expe- rience. lt is a pleasure to work with this caliber of students. l.

The orchestra, which in- cludes the Junior High students from Tyee, who come early in the morning, was the biggest that it's been in the past five years. The students participated in many events, such as the KingCo Orches- tra Festival in the Spring, plus many more performances during the school months. l'm really pleased with them, commented orchestra teacher John Cox. The students are doing a variety of music and I think they feel good about what they have accomplished. l. Kim Poppe and Ann Lee practice on violins before their actual performance with Mr. John Cox, their music teacher. 2.
