Sound of the Ages

Did you ever have to memorize the Gettysburg Address? How about certain poems like "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare, or "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman? Did you enjoy memorizing these, and did you have to recite them in front of a huge crowd? The vocal class had their share of memorizing literary pieces and performing them in front of many people, only they were in the form of music.
"I like vocal class because I feel really relaxed when I sing and I look forward to it everyday," Laurie Lierz, sr., said.
The vocal class had to memorize numerous songs in order to prepare for the fall and spring concerts directed by Dirk Colgrove. Members of the community attended the concerts in order to spend a couple of nights devoted to various types of music.
"Preparing for muscial concerts are the best, since we know what we are going to sing, so we can practice it more in order to get it perfect and sounding great," Chad Jones, so., said.
The songs sung by the third hour vocal class were ones like "Ezekiel's Wheel," "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," "I Hear Liberty Singing," "I Hear Music in Me," and many more.
"I enjoy having vocal scheduled right after break. I can talk to my friends in the commons longer, since I can wait until there is only around 30 seconds left to get down the stairs into the room," Christina Griffis, sr., said.
