Choir Entertains at Seasonal Concerts God created beauty. We see this beauty around us every day, but fre- quently fail to respond to it or appref ciate it. Beauty which we hear is usually referred to as music. Concert Choir is in reality a training of individuals to become sensitive to and aware of their constant exposure to beauty. The at- tempt is made to carry its sensitivity into all of life, making each individual a better person for Christ to use in His Kingdom where beauty will reach its perfection. This was the purpose of the 1971-72 Concert Choir, expressed by its conductor, lVlr. Wolterstorff. The members of choir tried to share some of the beauty they discovered through music. The fall concert featured both secular and sacred music. In the spring our choir invited the choir from Calvin Christian to join them in a Palm Sun- day concert. The combined choirs sang Schubert's Mass in G and music from the Frostiana series. Bemaaning his terrible fate in marriage, Sam Hamstra informs the court how he became ajudge, in Trial by Jury.

Band Adjusts to New Leadership By second hour at nine o'clock, when most of the school is finally waking up, fifty young musicians were busily tun- ing up their instruments. These stu- dents didn't regard band as just a change of pace from other subjects, but individually worked for perfection and improvement of their techniques. Under the leadership of a new director, lVlr. Steenwyk, the band was exposed to many types of music, They played much music from the classical period and gradually developed an appreciation for it. The band enjoyed the fast marches they rehearsed as well as some of the overtures written for band by contem- porary composers. Due to the lack of solos and ensembles, lVlr. Steenwyk strongly emphasized spending more time with instruments. The band was kept busy giving three concerts and selling candy to raise money. Perform- ing in the Illinois High School Associa- tion music festival and marching in the sweltering heat of the Memorial Day parade in Elmhurst closed the year for the band. l Waiting for his cue and counting measures care- fully, Drew Peters lifts his drumsticks and prepares to play. After begging all period to play Trumpets-r's Olef the brass section finally steals the floor with a five-minute concert.
