MUSIC The high school music department got off to an early start this year by putting on the operetta nBcbbyH with David Yoder and Patty Bender playing leading roles. In November the Shlpshewana Community Chorus, under the sponsorship of the music department, began rehearsals for the annual presentation of Handel's nlhe Messiahu which took place on December 18 last year. The high school band made its first appearance at the first home basket- ball game of the season and played for each home game throughout the year. The band and choruses from the high school, Junior high, and the grades joined forces in preparing Christmas music for the grade operetta NSusanna's Christmas Auctionn. Several nights later the high school and junior high school chorus spent a very enjoyable evening singing carols for friends in the commu- nity. During the second semester, the music department maintained its active schedule. Several students entered the state contest in February with vocal and instrumental solos, receiving ratings of Hexcellentn and Hsuperioru. Early in the month of April the band and chorus gave a full even1ng's concert for the public. Many solos and ensemble groups added variety and interest to the program. Several weeks later the band and chorus Joined with other musical groups in the county to present a colorful county music festival. The final appearances for band and chorus came with the commencement activities. With this a very enjoyable and profitable year of music was brought to a close.
