LHS CHOIR AND BAND Concerts are what the choir works for throughout the year. They held four major concerts consisting of a fall concert, Christ- mas concert. Spring Concert, and a Pop concert. Among the major concerts a few preview concerts were held to give the people in the community an idea of what the choir was doing in class and between concerts. Under the direction of Mrs. Bast the Swing Choir and Madrigal group also per- formed in the concerts. This gave the con- certs variety, as the groups sing a different type of music than the Concert Choir or the Girls Choir. Concerts were made a visible spec- tacle too with thehelpof the Art Club. They diligently decorated the gym for the choir performances.
