They sang and they danced The 1988 Madrigal singers, a cham- ber choir, were a group of elite students who had talents ranging from five feet to six feet five inches. These entertainers first presented themselves at the fall concert with their opening number You. A Chamber Choir is best know for singing and dancing with partners. The twelve performers would leave their audience in awe after demonstrating great talents in song and partner stunts. To be an elite group, the Madrigal had to be devoted to music. Besides strong voices, each member had another uni- que talent which added to perfection. The chamber choir consisted of in- strumentalists, dancers, and actors. The members were Fred Allen, senior; David Fajen, junior; Deanna Gemes, sophomore; Bobby Hart, freshman; Mike Higgins, senior; Loree Johnson, senior; Michelle McGhee, junior; Kris Nolte, senior; Lenora Retherford, senior; Ben Rhodes, senior; Jock Porter, junior; and Leanne Thixton, freshman. The Madrigal singers performed such numbers as; You , Lift You Up , One Voice , Will You Still Love Me , Leg- giadre Ninfe , Whole Lot of Shakin ' Going On , and A Golden Dream. The Chamber Choir was not just of performers but a family working to be the best. Loree Johnson stated, I am glad that I was a member of Madrigal. Sometimes we didn ' t always get along but we were all friends and we enjoyed singing together. I enjoyed being a member of Mad- rigal because I love to sing and I liked the fact that we sang different varieties of music, said Fred Allen, senior.
