CREATING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC...The women ofthe Concert Chorale practice for an upcoming performance. Sacrificing Off-Stage Music Group Rehearsals "Pops Concert." "Matinee of Masterpieces.""MusicShowcase." "Oratorio."These are just afew of the performancesin which various music groups on campus must perform. This list doesn't even begin to scratch the surface as one thinks about chapel services, performances on the road, and stage productions. These performances provide opportunities for Cedarville to display its commit- ment to excellence and beautiful music. However, not seen are the hours spent in Alford Auditorium or the fine arts building practic- ing as a group or individually. Each music group spends an average of at least two hours each week rehearsing. Music is analyzed, played and replayed.Timing is perfected. Add to rehearsals the hours spent in private lessons and personal practice time and the sum of students' time de- voted to musical excellence is staggering. The performances weseefrom the Woodwind Choir, the Chamber Orchestra, the Symphonic Band,the Chorale, the Brass Ensemble and the Women's Choir on a regular basis are sometimes fun, sometimes beautiful, sometimes inspiring, but always well done. The level of quality we experience atsuch performances is due toa lot of talent and even more hard work. •Jesse Wesselink TOTAL DEDICATION...Showing up to band rehearsals PRACTICE,PRACTICE and more practice is what keeps Shelly Fox intent on her music. takes willpower and dedication.
