Sound Quality Is Better Than Ever Hello! I ' m Tina. I’m a little mouse that lives in a little corner in the back of the music room. No one has a better idea of what vocal music is all about than I do. The ninth grade chorus, for those just entering high school, learn the fundamentals for reading notes and some pointers on getting good vocal quality. The class that I really enjoy is second hour Chorale. They have such fine voices. They are advanced singers and are constantly singing at luncheons and Rotary Club meetings throughout the year. The largest of the classes is Acappella Choir. The students in Acappella are those who want to continue their music learning. If Acappella choir and Chorale aren’t selling candy to raise money for a sound system or for extra money, they ' ll either be having final rehearsals to cut a record or making plans for an out-of-state-tour. For the non-performers there is a music appreciation class held sixth hour. The students become acquainted with all the different catagories of music from Bach to rock. Music is a great outlet for the students. Take it from me. I hear them every day. Bonnie Robbins on piano and Dee Stevens on bass are big assets to the choir as they accompany them in a school assembly. This year’s ninth grade chorus will be taught the fundamentals for note reading and good vocal quality. The class meets during third hour. Chorale sings at a WPHM luncheon at Traveler’s Inn. Members of the chorale are: Mark Tisdel, Valerie Millar, Jean Scott, Laurel MacLean, Robert Harrison, Margaret Barns, Kim Williams, Dave Hebner, Jane Aldrich, Robert Banka, Jeff Turk, David Oppliger, Terrance Cogley. Not visible are: Storm Hise, Darlene Megerle, Pam Pickard, Dennis Smith, Sandy Smith, and John Wolfe.
