Orchestra Nothing comes without much hard work. Such is the motto of the orches- tra. Many in the orchestra work hard on solos, quartets, ensembles and other groups. They also work together to make the orchestra not only good but the best. Members keep busy playing in concerts and many other programs. The string ensemble played an im- portant part in the group. They were rated first in district competition and also placed first in the State Solo En- semble contest.

Choir The choir has had a very hectic year. Their first performance was with the many other high school choirs of the city at the Market Square Arena dedi- cation ceremony. Next came the Christmas programs: the Irvington Community Sing, Christmas on the Circle, an assembly for the student body, and a special performance at the Education Center. Then came second semester and the annual musical, Kismet, one of the most difficult musicals to perform. In May the music department presented two music festivals, one instrumental and the other vocal. At these perfor- mances advanced students received let- ters or pins for their participation in choir, ensembles or concert clubs. The last performance of the year is at the commencement ceremonies, a fi- nal tribute to the seniors of ' 75.
