Good Vibrations Music! Music! Music! Choir offered ail partici- pants an opportunity to express themselves musi- cally. Choir was for training the musically inclined vocal- ist and was designed to famialarize members with various types of music. These students were under the guidance of Mr John Gilliland, who helped them gain confidence by performing outside the classroom. This year the choir participated in a spring concert singing selec- tions from Godspell. Throughout the year they sang at the city festival and during Christmas, went caroling at University Town Center. Chorus classes require a variely of responses. Mr. Gilland enthusiastically gives a pep talk to all of his students. 140 Choir Page sponsored b Ihc lliijili I .iniily
