VOCAL students journey to capital for all-state choir Singing in Oak Hill's Varsity Choir and Chorale is not only fun, but an honor. Because of the many activities such as entering the solo singing contests and participating in the All-State Choir al- lows the choir members to improve their sightreading, counting, and rhythm ac- curacy. Choir members from Oak Hill chosen to participate in the All-State Choir were Rosemary Renbarger, Paul Drake, Ioe Rosengarten, and Mike Hyman. Concerts included a fall, Christmas, and spring concert. The many selections such as Once Upon A Time , It's A Grand Old Flag , Close To You , and Nobody Knows the Trouble l've Seen added much color to the performances. This year the NISBOVA, Northern In- diana State Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Association, contest on April 24, 1971 re- quired early entrance. To gain proper tone quality for contest pieces students practiced the contest selections under the second year direction of Miss Carol Ni- chols, Oak Hill's High School and Iunior High School vocal instructor. Challenging contest experiences com- bined with the chaotic hysteria of choir trips caused the students to feel a sense of accomplishment. Assisting Sara Curless, Sandra Richardson counts aloud as the two girls sight read through a difficult piece. Concert Choir sings, How the West was won.
