With the productions of A Corznecticut Yankee, Li- ly, the Felon 'J Daughter, Dracula, Bearlesque and various other concerts by the choirs and instrumental groups, students were treated to a year of excitement, song and dance. Devotion, time and effort were the key elements in making an outstanding performance. The Performing Arts Department boasted many talented students who were willing to spend hundreds of hours in rehearsal and set construction for the many performances. Students sometimes found difficulty in balancing rehearsal and study times, but the results of their per- formance was payment enough for their sacrifices. Opening night jitters, the sounds of instruments being tuned, choir members vocalizing and packing away equipment and props were familiar activities and sounds to the performers. The drama, vocal and in- strumental music students found a special unity as part of the Performing Arts Department. They were also available for one another when needed. Peforming arts gave students a chance to exhibit their talents to the Northwest students and communi- ty through theatrical performances and concerts. Because of the many personnelneeded during a major production, there was always an opportunity in which students could get involved. Through this involve- ment, the Performing Arts Department experienced growth. Performing Art 88 ' Performing Arts A Reputation That 'J Growing , ai..-'Ha , 1 .rx .Q-' Y
