T he Concert Chorale participated in a wide variety of activities this year including the Prism Concert, the Missionary Conference, Spring Enrich- ment Conference, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony,the presentation of Amer- ica, the Dream during Memorial Day Chapel, and finally, Commencement. Our officers for the year were Wayne Keisling, President; Andy Strait, Concert Manager;and Debbie Henry, Secretary. We are thankful for the ex- cellent direction of our Conductor, Dr. Anderson. It was quite an exciting year for the chorale. Of course, Spring Tour was the highlight of the year. The cho- rale traveled to the Mid-Western States and ministered in music to local "It wasa beautifulthing to see how the members of the chorale grew closer to each other." church congregations. Another high- point for the year came when our cho- rale,along with the Wittenberg Univer- sity Choir and the Wittenberg Singers, sang the final chorus of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the Springfield Symphony Orchestra, March 28, at 8:15 pm. Our main purposes on our Spring Tour were to glorify God in our singing and to edify His people. It was a beau- tifulthing to see how the members of the chorale grew closer to each other during the Spring Tour. Relationships were developed during this time to- gether and they continued throughout the rest of the year. Lord willing, we hope that next year will be an even better year for the Concert Chorale. by Ed Lanning Concert Chorale 135
