Medhn Chamber Singers Jazz Choir From Bach to Berlin by Susie Arauz T o see people smile and enjoy what they are lis- tening to is what it ' s all about, stated Kelly Alcott. Working with this idea, Chamber Singers produced the harmonious melodies that constituted their repu- tation. They performed for such groups as the Santa Ana Country Club as well as at home for the students on campus. The group also re- presented Saddleback at the San Mateo Command Performance Competition. The singers held fund- raisers to attend the com- petition and to help pay for their outfits. This year, the men stayed with the tradi- tional tuxedos. The women wore designer black and white gowns, adding opera gloves to complete a daz- zling stage presence. Led by Mr. F.vans, Cham- ber Singers combined their musical talents and disci- pline to be an entertaining and professional sounding group. And now . . . Introducing the spirit of JAZZ! In it ' s second year. Jazz Choir started to swing Saddleback with the sounds of jazz and other ragtime tunes. The choir has developed a prestigious reputation in the Music Department. Their individuality and style is a new and refreshing ap- proach to students. Singing ragtime and blues tunes, the group established an appealing and popular tra- dition, making a promising future for jazz choirs to come. V Getting the singers in tune with each other is one of Mr. Evans everyday jobs. Jazz Choir — Row 1: G. Hernandez. G. Reyes. C Guerrero. K. Dunn Row 2: W. Smith. D. Gattuso. L. Hukset. T. Forsyth. L.

The group always seen, but rarely heard, is the alto section. Here, the altos work hard to blend and create a perfect melody. The roots of the choir remain in the bass section. Here, Darron In- man learns the music and the notes of the basses. » Listening to the notes and hitting them just right is one of the hardest parts of a choir. Here, soprano Mi- chelle Champa is right on target. » -OK. Who hit the wrong note ? ' . Trying to figure out who did it, the soprano and tenor sections realize the true meaning of the old saying. Practice makes perfect! 130 Chamber Singers Jazz Choir
