huge success By Andy DeGuire A musical first is the best way to describe Beth Davis’s senior recital. On January 23 and 24 at the First Presbyterian Church Beth, performed the first move- ment of Schumann's Concerto in A minor. This concert represents the culmination of eighteen mon- ths of hard work and intense prac- tice. Throughout the last year and a half, Beth has been busy memorizing her 50 page piece, rehearsing once a week, and mak- ing trips to Tallahassee where she practiced on a nine foot Steinway grand piano graciously provided through the patronage of several Perry merchants. Accompanying Beth on synthesizer was Beth's piano teacher, Mrs. Carol DeGuire. Using eight synthesizers linked to a single keyboard, Mrs. DeGuire was able to reproduce the effect of a large orchestra. Another talented young per- former shared the limelight with Beth, Sallie Donnelly. Sallie per- formed a junior concerto entitled “Celebration. Sallie, hard at work, started this three movement piece just several months before the concert.
