Choruses Sponsor Musical, Attend Festival A schoolwide musical production and a trip to district choral festival highlighted the year for members of Boys' Chorus, Girls' Chorus and Rickards Singers. Membership in the boys' and girls' choruses was open to any students in grades nine through twelve. Passing an audition was a necessity for Rick- ards Singers, a group made up of the better than average singers. In addition to auditioning, a student had to be a member of a chorus the year before. All three choruses went to the dis- trict festival in Panama City in lVlarch. Each chorus sang two selec- tions before threejudges. Sight read- ing was also a part of the program to test their ability. Ratings were awarded on the basis of how well groups measured upto' standards. The choral department sponsored Dates and lVlates , a musical com- edy for two nights in lVlarch.
