Choir stresses learning After dealing with the extended schedule and reorganization of Tokay High School Performing Arts into one large group, Concert Choir returned to the basics. With the new year came a new name. Concert Choir was previ- ously called A Capella, but to allow more versility they changed their name. As A Capella they were only able to sing without musical accompaniment. Another change was that the size of the choir was limited down to people who were really serious about singing. We have wonderful sound, a much more mature sound for a high school choir, said Cassie Reutlinger, Concert Choir advis- er. Just plain singing wasn't all they did. They sang in different languages and experimented with different music and tones. According to Mrs. Reutlinger this basics was so they have a background for college. So when their voices mature they will have the basics. The major thrust of the pro- gram was to stress learning- academics. It's not just learning a song and singing it. lt's not fun and games, it's hard work, said Mrs. Reutlinger. During December the Concert Choir sung for a Lodi Senior Citizens Benefit and at the Sher- wood Mall. ln late April they were in the CMEA Large Choir Festival with the Chamber sin- gers. They also performed in A Christmas Ornament and, Jigsaw, which were performed atTokay. We really had a good atti- tude, with a real sense of family. Which is what you have to have with an ensemble, said Mrs. Reutlinger. by Sabrina M. Schneweis Photos by ALisa Stone 6.
