The Concert Choir, composed of the Boys' Choir, Girls' Choir, and the Madrigal Sing- ers travelled by bus on a one-day trip, making a num- ber of stops en route to present their program. ln previous years the choir had performed at vara ious high schools and hospitals. Their final destina- tion is always kept secret by the director, Mr. Archer Hayes, until they actually arrive. After the morning and afternoon concerts they went to a motel for relaxation such as swimming. That night a special dinner was enjoyed, followed by danc- ing and impromptu singing and, finally, a return home. Wayne Brown. Charles Gray. Phil Marrs. Blair Harrison, Davin Anderson.

Among the choir's many performances at schools, clubs, and churches, a special performance was given by the Madrigals at the Colorado Music Education As- sociation's annual convention at the Broadmoor. This performance was by special invitation from the CMEA. The officers of the Madrigals Singers were Jack Blaylock, president, Bud Nugent, vice-president, Cindi Minor, secretary and treasurer. The choir's other performances included such things as radio and TV programs, a program for the Pikes Peak Kiwanis Club, and one at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Officers of the Concert Choir were Joe Vegh, pres- identg Jack Blaylock, vice-president, Gail Gorst and Phil Nlarrs, secretaries, Mike lVIcCann and Judy Hin- shaw, treasurers. Many types of songs were used, including spiri- tuals, folk songs, and classical melodies of various periods. These exposed the students to the widest variety of music possible. In addition to directing the choirs, lVlr. Archer Hayes also taught first and second year music theory. These classes go into the formation and use of chords and the actual writing of music.
