Under Mr. MacKinne s direction, the Madrigals group together to lift their voices in singing a Christmas song. There was always something going on in the Music Department, whether it was vocal or instrumental. The choir and band worked hard throughout the year preparing for various programs and concerts. Uniting at Christmas, the choir and band presented a concert. It proved to be a big success, due to the many hours of practice put into it. In addition to rehearsing, members of the choir and band spent time making posters, having programs made out, and decorating. Springtime was a very musical part of the year, with the band’s Pop Concert in early May and the choir’s Spring Concert in late May. Besides the Concert Choir, various solos and ensembles were also part of the Concert. Adding variety to the Pop Concert were the skits between the selections, given by members of the band. The themes, “If I Had A Song” and “Broadway Bandstand were emphasized by the table and wall decorations. After the concerts the Music Department concentrated on selections presented at Baccalaureate and Commencement.
