Concert Choir Displayed Vocal Versatility Musical interpretation by use of the voice, clearly defines a choir. Training and blending 140 of these voices to create a sound of fullness and sensitivity was the purpose of Concert Choir. Proving its versatility,tConcert Choir per- formed at the Christmas and Spring Concerts, singing selections that varied from Beetho- ven's Halleluiah from the Mt. of Olives to Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now and ex- cerpts from Sigmund Romberg's The Student Prince. and the choir sings on and on and on. A Cappella Faced Musical Challenge Tryouts for A Cappella Choir were held in the early spring of last year, testing vocalists in musicianship, intonation and diction. The forty-seven voices selected and directed by Mr. Robert Brown faced the challenge of performing difficult and intri- cate selections.

Lawson Gunn and Frank Murano serenade the choir Concert Choir on stage for the Christmas Concert.
