CHORAL AND ORCHESTRA fcontinuedj 'Southern Showbooi' features singers from choral music in song and clonce sections. These included senior Pris- cilla Rhodes, first soprano, first chair, sophomore Kelly King, first soprano, second chairg senior Julie Hendrix, second soprano, first chair, senior Holly Cameron, second alto, first chair, and senior Van Martindale, second bass, fourth chair. These win- ners from All-Region took part in a choral clinic held in Russellville, November 5. For some, this competition was a first and had special meaning. Being a sophomore, I didnlt think I had much of a chance,', Kelly King explained. mllhere were 63 Sopranos trying out. On February 4-5, eleven choral members-those placing high enough in All-Region to be eligible to try out for All-State competition- traveled to Jacksonville, Arkansas, for this prestigious competition. Among the winners were Kelly King, first sopranog Julie Hendrix, second sopranog Holly Cameron, second altog Melissa Cattaneo, second soprano, and Van Martindale, second bass. The numerous honors won by the singers in state and region contests resulted from hours and hours of rehearsal and performance. Despite the work involved, the rewards seemed to compensate for the effort put forth. I think there are a lot of trying times, but in the end it's all worth itf, senior Priscilla Rhodes explained, summing up her three years in chorus at Southside. fcontinued on page 1245 122 5 6 Showboat.

'F- Y rf CHORAL AND ORCHESTRA Ccontinuecu 9 To have an outstanding orchestra, members must have materials, direction, patience, talent, and the ability to work together: Next to the instruments themselves, guide- lines in the form of sheet music fll are an important facton Orchestra students f9l include Gaylon Patterson, Randy Davis, Audrey Covington, Marcia Cauiness, Marion Beaty, and Keith Sanders standing.

It takes many hours, Weeks, and years of practice to be able to perfect the talent of playing a stringed instrument. The orchestra is composed of 178 elementary, junior and senior high students in the Fort Smith Public School System. It is under the direction of Mrs. Mary Alice Nantz. Unable to give a school performance because of students attending various schools, the orchestra gave three concerts
