Also under the supervision of Mr. Houston, was the tall flag team, which had im- proved considerably from the previous years through hard work and dedication. Stated flag team captain Lori Williams, Even though we ' ve had a small flag team this year, it ' s been the best.

Choir Orchestra The beautiful sound of music by Andrea Atwater Although reasonably small, the orchestra made big sounds. Directed by student- teacher Ms. Mclntyre, with Harry Evans as the advisor, the orchestra was exposed to a variety of music, along with opportunities to com- pete in festivals, perform in concerts and play in the musical, Once Upon a Mat- tress . Violinist Neela Bhakta stat- ed, All the hard work pays off the night of the concert. When I hear the crowd ap- plauding, I get a feeling of satisfaction. With over 65 members, mixed choir was a popular group for those pursuing choir as a vocal opportunity. To improve vocally and provide entertainment were the goals for this ambi- tious group as stated by Mr. Evans. And improve they did, with director Ms. Mclntyre, Mr. Evans, and Jay Bradley on piano. V Mr. Evans uses his talents of directing during a choir practice. These classes of hard continuous work paid off. 4r m Jay Bradley, a talented pianist, can be seen at rehearsals and con- certs playing along with the choir. His musical knowledge is an asset to choir and orchestra members. M Choir members give themselves to the music, letting their voices sing. Practice rehearsals, as shown, helped develop the members into one talent- ed group. Organizations 129
