Every year the freshman class
participates in All School Sing. Freshman
Sing director Jo Johnson said "This is an
experience they will never forget." On
Nov. 2 and 3 the freshman class will shine
. as they perform "Hollywood."
There is a total of 30 freshman and
transfer students participating in Sing.
Each person has an intricate part in
bringing it all together. Some work on the
set and some help with the choreography.
HSU graduate Kelly Fletcher is in charge
of the choreography.
Johnson wanted to be a part of Sing
but was not able to perform so she decided
to direct. She came up with the theme and
the songs. Since Hollywood is the theme
there are many movie theme songs in the
cts Freshmen
production.
"It will be a very showy number"
Johnson said. She added that her main
objective for the performance is "for the
people who are performing to enjoy it and
for the audience to enjoy it."
The group practices four times a week
but it is not all hard work. They had a
lock-in practice in which they played
games painted the set and discussed
plans.
Johnson expressed her appreciation to
the freshmen and all of the upperclassmen
who have helped. She feels that the
freshmen are excited and are putting forth
their best. She also appreciates the support
of the freshman sponsors: Dr. Mary Evelyn
Collins Dr. Charles Lange and Dr. Larry
Fink.

Sing: Behind The Scenes
by Shawnie Maffet
Sing started when members of Phi Mu
Alpha Sinfonia and Sigma Alpha Iota
wanted to raise money for the music
department. The Sing committee consists
of both clubs.
Many months before Sing the clubs
select the judges the length of time and
the number of acts. They also supervise
the judges rules music and choreography.
During the week of Sing the fraternity
holds dress and technical rehearsals. It is
in these rehearsals as well as the
performances that this group of men must
work lighting and sound. They also
supervise the participants and help with
props. They help participants set up and
tear down each set Phi Mu Alpha cleans
the stage. Member David Luna said "Sing
committee unites the school every year."
The women of Sigma Alpha Iota
prepare for Sing by advertising through
radio t.v. and newspapers. They set
deadlines for the groups and answer any
questions the groups may have. During the
actual shows these girls hand out
programs usher take tickets and care for
any other house management needs.
After Sing these clubs work recitals at
Woodward-Dellis Recital Hall and give
receptions. The money they receive from
Sing often goes to these endeavors as well
as needed lighting and sound equipment.
This year they purchased three floor
microphones for Sing. They also bought a
cable to connect a monitor in the cafeteria
so those groups waiting to go on stage can
watch other groups' acts.
SAI gives portions of the money they
make off Sing to an organization for the
sight impaired. President Anita Cook
said "The goals of SAI are to promote
music on the campus and to provide help
whenever we can by giving financial aid
through the proceeds of the All School
Sing."
Kelly Rushfeldt said "Phi Mu is
important to the continued life of music."
Since this fraternity is national (as is the
sorority) it helps to create a bond with
people from other schools with whom they
may work that are also in the club.
Member Kirk Corley said "Phi Mu's
main purpose is to give men who have an
interest in music a way to use their
talents." They also have fall pledging for
anyone interested in music. They hold a
pledge recital at the end of pledging.
