ocquiring constont alan! nly seconds to take a quick, deep breath. The air is full of anticipation and excitement as 22 sets of eyes focus on the audience. Mouths dry, hands sweaty. As the accompaniment sets the tempo, voices can be heard. The concert is im- mediately in action while music lovers listen intently to the harmony of Aristocracy. Plot only did the group sound good, but they were pleasing to the eye. Dressed in their royal blue velvets, this elite group traveled to perform at various functions. For the holidays, there was the traditional Christmas Concert which drew a full house. Caroling was an activity at the Ban- ning Mansion Museum and Retired Teacher's Assoc. Throughout the year, they learned to use their individual skills and unique voices to create a blended sound of music. Hours of prac- tice was a necessity for these dedicated mem- bers. The group grew vocally and as a family sharing special moments together. Theres a brighter atmosphere than ever be- fore, stated senior member Mike Yarbro, Ho words can describe Aristocracy, only music. lt's corny, but it's true. Under the guidance of Ms. Kathleen Jensen, the group received lst place and a superior rating at the All-American Music Festival in Florida.
