Festival Chorale Festival Singers Festival Chorale Under the direction of Mr. Alan McClung, the Festival Chorale has become one of the most distinguished and recognized student performing groups in the South. An audi- tioned group of 100 singers in grades nine through twelve, the Festival Chorale was formed for the purpose of making and learn- ing about music. Because of the excellence of their abilities, the Chorale was selected to perform for the Southern division of The American Chorale Directors Association. The highlight of the Christmas season was the group ' s acclaimed performance of Men- otti ' s operetta, Amahl and the Night Visi- tors. The Chorale begins their year with a working retreat. This year at the retreat the Chorale was presented with new robes and st oles. The Chorale also participated in Dis- trict Choral Festival, Spring Tour and the Spring Concert. The Chorale was adminis- tered by a Chorale Council headed by Presi- dent Jeff Spratlin and Vice Presidents Jay Tedder and Jeff Higgins. Festival Singers Directed by Mr. Alan McClung, the Festi- val Singers performed music from various eras. This auditioned group was made up of 31 advanced musicians in grades ten through twelve, and performed music on a more difficult level than the schools other choral groups. 1 FESTIVAL CHORALE: FIRST ROW - Amy Wendt.
