Daily during class time the group worked on exploring quality choral music. The principal aim of the class was to learn the skill of sight singing while performing a wide variety of music at the same time. From this group, 95 percent of the concert choir is chosen. The girls group performed several times during the year, including choral festivals, concerts and a variety of other programs. They also performed several times for the student body at assemblies, including the most enjoyable Bicentennial assembly. The girls choir has become a most popular group to be a part of because it gives its members a means of expressing themselves through music. Mr. A.V. Wall was the director of the group and it is he who is responsible for a most successful year. ABOVE: Chorus members concentrate on the music at hand during a daily rehearsal. LEFT! Mr. .-Xl.

Talent, Hard Work Play Major Role In Band's Success The two stage bands in '76 consisted of students interested in expanding their musical experience, selected by individual audition. The first band had several concerts in the media center and other places around school. After first semester they were unable to perform in front of an audience because of the loss of key members. lnstead they practiced daily to achieve the ability of playing various styles of music. Mark VVitten, who played trumpet for this group, was one of two people from New Nfexico selected to play in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and the Rose Bowl parade. While playing at the West Mesa Stage Band Festival, the second stage band received the highest possible rating, judged on several different areas. The student body was enriched and entertained by these groups. Mr. Ted Rush and Mr. Tom Martin brought these bands to a higher level of musical ability.
