Choir sold on Canadian festival
by DAN DILLON
Members of Sandy High School's sym
phonic choir might be excused if they feel
they’ve spent as much time selling things this
year as they have singing
They sold cheese, candles, T-shirts, calen
dars and candy They sold tickets to their
Madrigal Dinner at Christmas and tickets to a
school concert featuring a Portland rock
band. Sequel.
Choir members traded singing for sales pit
ches to finance a trip to the "Discover British
Columbia Music Festival" in Vancouver,
B C., at the end of this month
Although they worked hard just to make the
trip, their real task is still ahead
The festival is more than just a group of
choirs coming together to entertain, as many
festivals are This will be a competition
against some of the top vocalists and musi
cians around, according to SUHS Choral
Director Bruce Scarth.
The choir sent an audition tape at the end of
last school year to Performing Arts Abroad,
an organization that sponsors festivals
worldwide They were selected, along with
other choirs which aren't all necessarily high
school groups, to participate in the four
weekend festival.
"When you participate in a festival like
this," said Scarth, "you’re going to be hear
ing some of the top groups "
The weekend SUHS performs, April 31, four
choirs and two bands will be competing for
medals
The groups compete for ratings: gold
medal, silver medal, bronze medal and a
festival award for participation
The performances are limited to three
songs a warm-up, which isn't judged, one
from a list of required performances, and one
of the group's own choosing One of the selec
tions must be composed by a North
American
In Vancouver, the Sandy choir will warm up
with "The Eyes of All Wait Upon Thee," by
North American composer Jean Berger
Their required selection will be "Oh God Who
in Thy Heavenly Hand," by Handel They will
close with "The Heavens Are Telling" from
the oratorial "The Creation," by Joseph
Haydn.
While Scarth doesn't expect a gold medal
rating -"you have to be perfect.” he said he
is optimistic the choir could bring back more
than a festival award
The 36 students and six chaperones who
make the trip will also be mixing some
pleasure with the business of competing
Leaving April 30, the group will travel to
Vancouver. After Saturday's performance
and awards banquet, they will ferry to Vic
toria, B.C., on Vancouver Island for some
sightseeing and relaxation
On the ferry ride, Scarth hopes to stage a
performance for fellow passengers, if the
boat's captain consents
"You have a nice, captive audience," he
said, "and we could put on a nice 30-minute
show "
The group will return to Sandy May 3.
In the meantime, the choir will have one
more performance before the trip They will
present a classical concert April 27 at Sandy
High School
While they've been busy raising funds all
year to finance the trip, the choir is still ap
proximately $4oo shy of the goal and Scarth
said donations would willingly be accepted to
help defray out-of pocket expenses for the
students.
And the choral director figures the students
have earned their first trip
"These kids were my first kids at Sandy
High School." he said "It's kind of nice to
take them somewhere and show them off."
