Chorus is composed of students in grades 9-12. One of the groups objectives is to expose students to a greater variety of musical styles during the year. Experience had shown that once a student has learned to master difficulty of not familiar, they learn to enjoy and appreciate all types of music. This year marked the first year for Advanced Chorus. In December they were given the opportunity to perform in conjunction with the Newark Boys’ Chorus and also at the Superintendent's Annual Reception. A selected group from the Chorus participated in the All-City Chorus and later in the Union County Festival. Senior Virginia Amato, soprano, was one of 400 students selected out of app. 2,000 who auditioned for the NJ All-State Chorus. We wish Virginia much success as she joins the growing number of students embarking upon a music career. Sophomores David Anderson and Kim Bond were featured in many of the choral selections in the spiritual and popular mode. We are looking forward to hearing much more from this select group of young people.
