wmwrwaat Up, Up With peuplt! Vuu nitet them wherever you o. The peace, the excitement of music Harmonies Celebrate Winter ' s Cold Sparkle Before the red velvet and gold of a round, windowed church, the Madrigals interpreted several centuries of Christmas sounds. No applause was needed, for the beauty of these people was the gift, the music merely the means. As the Christmas Concert curtain rose, a pyramid of candles could be seen sculpturing faces on the evening blackness of the theatre. From the first A cappella carols, through the clearness of the brass choir, to the famous Caroling Feast, complete with hot coffee, cookies and marshmallows for Wendy Lamb to toss and George Johnson to catch with his mouth. In contrast, the instruments and voices of the Travel Agency, and Friends beat out some very hard rock on the hill above the ocean at City College, at the Christmas formal, Noel in White. A taste of the talent of Santa Barbara High was sent, in exchange for some of the b est of Royal Blue which visited their school a few weeks «earlier. The most talked about moments were the slow motion grace and body control of Seascape, a dance study painted in muted blues and greens, a warm throated and compelling Satin Doll sung by Bob ( Switch- eroonie ) Miller, and the finale, Tony Jenkins ' perhaps overly choreog- raphed Hair, complete with matching hip outfits. The pleasure of being human expressed through tools of brass, wood and catgut make a beautiful organism: the Orchestra, led by Jim Gemmell. The Orchestra Concert was a program both intellectually and sensually pleasing. Wide smiles, clean enunciation and almost unbelievable optimism typified the ' 70 version of Up With People! They sang of their opinion of man ' s role on earth: to do. Thinking and feeling are only steps to this goal, in their philosophy. Let ' s twist again like we did last summer.

I I Soon it ' ll be over, and I ' ve done nothing ' , nothing. — Jax (Fred Buck). For whom ? For me, for myself. To be better than you are. — Max (Pat DeMott). It ' s no use. Tears flood my eyes, my head. — Baxter (Mike Den- ton). I just feel I want to help but I don ' t know how. — Ann (Sue Schleifer) . Tra g ic Comedies By Murray Schis al A Frustrated Search For Self: Fragments ' Hiimms often, out of fear, hate things they cannot understand. Max, Jax, and Baxter hated each other. Each lived in a self- constructed cage; Max ' s was his demand for order: Baxter sought refuge in wine and sex; Jax thrived on pity, every few minutes heralding his own death. But there were a few moments when they smiled together, remembering their boyhood: their igloo, their fire, and hiding — always finding places to hide . . . A knock was heard and Ann, the young woman from across the alley, entered on a cloud of small talk and enthusiasm. Vying for the one bit of beauty they could see in their world, the men began cruel mockery of one another, Ann, now confused, tired, and very disappointed, returned home to the special loneliness of one who has lived alone a very long time. As the lights blacked, death came to these three fragrnents — fragments of one man. Cynthia and Don listen to Mr. Black ' s thou.ahts on their improvisation. Mr. Black asks Mike not to stab Pat. 3 1 n Write. I ' m a writer ' (He hasn ' t touched his book in ten years.) To give birth. And 1 couldn ' t, Ted. — Frances. The kids (Betsy Brickley, Ken Jones, David Preston) talk on hypocrisy.
