Bloomington High School South, The Gothic, 1986, Page 66

Description:	Halls are alive with the sound of musicAnything from Bach to All That Jazzcould be heard floating from the choir andorchestra rooms during the school year.Both departments covered a range ofmusic from baroque to modern, and morethan just music was covered. Both directors spent time emphasizing music theory,technique, and individual performance inorder to promote learning.It has been a unique learning experience. said senior Carol Wiesler ofthe orchestra program. The 1985-86school year was the first year director JaneGouker had more than one senior in theorchestra; she had eight. This year is aculmination, said Gouker. Four yearsago we were struggling, and now we havea stable program.If this year was a culmination for the orchestra, it marked a new beginning for thechoral program. Kevin Butler was replaced by Gwen Witten as choral director.Miss Witten has a different kind ofstyle, said junior Susan Park, a memberof the Womens Choir. She stresses thatthe most important thing is for us to reachour potential.Witten taught at both South and Bat-chelor this year, while completing hermasters degree in vocal performance atIU. Before she came to South she taughtat Stonebelt, working with severely mentally and physically handicapped children.Its a big change, said Witten. There,if you got any kind of a response, you feltgood. In a way, it was really neat. I think itmakes me demand more from the kidshere. Her first season at South was highlysuccessful.Getting in the Christmas spirit, junior Jennifer Crafton sings carols in Womens Choir.WOMENS CHOIR.
