A Chorus reads their muslc intently. New Orleans Mr. Schallenkamp has heard many a Hne voice emerge from the choir room. A large number of students belong to A and B Chorus and Mr. Schallenkamp makes sure none of their talents go unnoticed. Traditionally, the A Chorus takes a singing trip every two years. At the announcement that they would be going to New Orleans this year, everyone became very excited. They knew it would be a very interesting and long trip. They planned to perform three concerts, the first to be held at the The Shrine of Our Lady, the second at Jackson School and the third at a mall. Everything seemed to be going well, the first concert came off nicely. Then good old Mother Nature stepped in with her roaring Hoods. The singers were forced to lea ve two days early. trip washed out Those who made All State Choir went to Rapid City the first weekend in November.

Music department deserves three Musically talented students have excellent opportunities to show off their talents and be awarded for them. Students who wish to sing can sign up for B Chorus, which requires no auditions. Every quarter of the school year, Mr. Schallenkamp holds the special auditions in which B Chorus members can take a singing test that will determine if they can join A Chorus. The songsters of A Chorus are considered to be a valuable part of O'Gorman's musical department. 34 Not only do they sing at some of our school masses, but they also bring many awards and honors to O'Gor- man. A Chorus members also have the opportunities to try-out for a group of select singers called Madrigals. There are only sixteen members of this group and they also belong to A Chorus. Another part of the musical atmosphere at 0'Gorman is credit- ed to the band. The people who wish to join band are automatically members of the concert band and cheers the marching band. Other options for instrumentalists include jazz band, pit band, which plays for the musicals, and pep band, which performs at sporting events and pep fests. It not only takes skill to go to a contest, but it takes a lot of nerve. Most of the awards 0'Gorman earns can be accredited to the players and singers that had the nerve to go to the many contests held at different times of the year. Kass ' 1 5 . N . .
