Beautiful Sounds Raising money by selling coupon books and ceramic bells to lessen the cost of their Spring Tour and trip to the Mewlep Music Festival were a vital part of the tasks undertaken by Orchestra members, led by officers Debbie Drennan and Janice Barwald. Not to be outdone by their cronies in the Music Department, the Concert Choir, headed by Mr. Oscar Roth and officers Bryan Gottmann and Cheryl Firlinger, produced a grade school Thanksgiving Assembly, staged the Broadway musical, THE MUSIC MAN, performed at area hospitals and clubs, as well as keeping their regular concert schedules. Providing a light respite from the deep symphonic harmonies of the Orchestra and Concert Band, the Choir found itself in more demand this year than ever before, presenting a wide variety of music to its many varied audiences. Together, all of the music groups find themselves spotlighted again and again throughout the year, drawing the year to a close in combined performance, the Ice-cream Social. Together the Music Department proved that long days of practice produce musical Knights! Handbell Choir: Karen Morris, Gloria Johnson, Lois Kondath, Janet Scholz, Noma Velarde, Mr. O. Roth, director.
