V photo by Chris Burford CD I '.. x -.wh J .K ,. QE 5 Singers have a song in their hearts Choir members seldom had a moment's rest. lf they weren't learning new solos at home, they were practicing a choir production in an evening session. lf a choir member wasn't practicing, learn- ing something new, or performing, he may have been working at the garage sale or selling popcorn jars to make money for the spring musical. The show choirs did roughly 15 shows during the Christmas season. Choir supplied many opportunities. Mrs. Phyllis Henderson, director, empha- sized that there is a choir for everyone. lt didn't matter whether the student was in J.V. or Varsity show choir, Acappella or Honors, hefshe was required to learn sight-reading and vocal training. Arrange- ment difficulty and variety differed from choir to choir. The fact that four choir members made all-state choir proved that Mrs. Hender- son was right when she said there was a super amount of talent at Flound Rock. Spring brought more work with U.l.L. f We're going after it like winners, com- mented Mrs. Hendersonl and the musi- cal. When did it all end? Most choir mem- bers didn't want it to. Maria Burzynski, junior, summed it up by saying, perform- ing and performing well makes it all seem easy. Top left: Mrs. Henderson introduces the choir in one of many Christmas programs.

Band noted with pride 'C lf someone was asked to describe C Round Rock's bands in one word, it would be proud . Pride is one thing there was U3 l t f ' h' ' I ' ' A X pen y o in t is mustca organization. gyjudge once said, The pride from this C group seems to just pour out. Without L pride, the contest has already been lost before walking out on the stage U3 With the growth in the Round Rock schools, the band program more than doubled in the past few years. Along with growing larger, the quality seemed to be growing just as fast, Moving into concert season brought some changes. With so many members in the program, it was necessary to break up into five concert bands, the most ever at Round Rock. New to these bands was Richard Gibby, who took over the job of Larry Jones. Mr. Jones is now music coor- dinator forthe district. For those in band, it became a way of life. l'd feel empty without band. I wouldn't know how to act if I didn't have to lug my horn around, was a common remark. At times many students got pretty keyed up, but they had to just blow it off.
