Concert Choir Sings With Professional Musicians Red River Hij;h School has the pleasure and honor of having one of the best and well- know n high school choirs in the state of North Dakota. Traditions have continued from year to year which began in 1967 when Red River ' s doors first opened, The director who has com- piled these talents into a number of choirs is Mr, Ken Sherwood Mr, Sherwo(jd has jLlaptcJ a plan that lets the choir do all forms and styles of music. The choir has many achievements to Its credit. Through the years, the concert choir has produced albumns, and has performed at various places in the U.S. The choir has, on the average, about 16 appearances each year. The two most enjoyable concerts tor the members are the Mother ' s Day Concert which is per- formed at Kem Temple, and the Alumni Con- cert which IS the last concert of the year. This concert is probably the most emotional and well -remembered. At the closing ot the Alumni Concert, all former ch(jir members are invited to the stage to sing the choir benediction The highlight of this year ' s events was the sing ing of the Lord Nelson Mass by Hayden witf the UND Concert Choir as well as the profes- sional Chamber Orchestra of St. Paul. The con cert was held at the Chester Fritz. The choir i really )ust a large family which sticks togethe and couldn ' t be more proud of its traditions. As Rochelle Arch says, The 1979-80 choir year has been a rewarding one, and I ' m sure will hold many memories for us all. With director. Ken Sherwood, room nine has become a Red River landmark.

Madrigals Perform Variety Of Music VCebsters defines madrigal as a complex poly- phonic unaccompanied vocal piece on a secular text flourishing in the l6th and 17th ccntuiies. The Red Ri er madrigal was a group of fifteen vocalists selected irom the C(jncert Choit. They were attired in tuxes and silky dresses. Their selections besides those of the 16th and 17th centuries included songs such as My Bonny Lass She Smelleth and Blue Autumn . Scott Larson was the student director. Concerts in- clutled two durinti the Christmas season, one in the C jlumbia Mall, a lall concett and the alum- ni concert in the spring. Group members en- joyed the friendships and trials they shared dur- ing rehearsals and get-togethers. Cathy Knle said, Our practices were usually hard work, but we always thought it was worth it after a perfor- mance.
