Vocal groups receive top evaluation, give local, community performances After receiving a I rating at the Regional Music Festival the Concert Choir qualified for the State competition in April. In addition to earning a I rating at Regional, the Northwest Singers perform- ed approximately 50 concerts during the year. The vocal music department was very active this year as it should be, said Ver- non Nicholson, vocal music director. Besides going to Regional and State Choir contests, the Concert Choir par- ticipated in the Flint Hills Choral Music Festival at Kansas State University, sang with the Wichita State University Choir and hosted the University of Kansas Choir at a February concert. These activities gave the students the opportunity to work with a variety of directors. It is very important to work with as many directors as possible, said Nicholson. They fthe directors? have something new and dif- ferent to add to your education. Several vocal students worked with directors outside of the school day. Through an audition in which each stu- dent had to go in one at a time and sing for a panel of three judges, 11 Northwest vocalists were selected for District Choir based on their diction, pitch and voice quality. Northwest's representation in the District Choir was the largest of any Wichita high school. These District Choir members were Chris Stuever, Celia Mor- rison, Sharla Vogt, Cheryl Flowers, Sheri Harp, Clifton Vogt, Shawn Morse, Kenny Evans, Andy Tade, Mark Zonnefeld, Matt Flesher and john Quinn. Following the District Choir performance, another audi- tion was held and Stuever, Evans, Tade and the Vogts were selected to sing in the State Choir. I learned how to really feel what we were singing and acquire responsibility for doing a piece of work right or not at all, said Evans. The director had a great sense of humor, but at the same time was extremely dedicated to musical correct- ness, integrity and emotion. Vocal students gave an united effort in the production of the first musical in several years. The production, Oklahoma! was chosen for its large cast in which many students could become involved. Another major undertaking was the production of Bezzrlerque, a variety show featuring vocal and instrumental music students. The Northwest Singers gave over 50 performances singing in such places as churches and several local civic organiza- tions. The bulk of their performances, however, were during the Christmas season with special appearances at Cowtown and at the Family Holiday Con- cert with the Wichita Symphony at Cen- tury II. if SOPHOMORE MENS ENSEMBLE: fKneelingj David Atkins, Kevin Sizemore, Brian Garrison. fStandingJ Brad Setser, Derrick Nielsen, Matt Hampton, Gary Clothier. fLadderJ Bennie Clay, Kelly Hicks, Randy Ed- wards and Todd Koob.
