The groups featured were Chamber Singers, Women's Chorale, Concert Choir, liarly Music Ensemble, and the Symphonic Band. The music was wonderful and well performed, with songs ranging from Latin songs of praise to "Casey At the Bat," performed by the Symphonic Band. First the Chamber Singers performed three songs, then Women's Chorale performed two, the Concert Choir performed five, the Early Music Ensemble performed four and the Symphonic Band played four. The concert on the whole was a success. The audience seemed to really enjoy it, possibly because the audience was filled with friends and families of group members, but also because each group exhibited high quality work. Christiana Mata, a sophomore at George Fox, said "I thought the concert was pretty good. I Photos by KEVIN BROWN thought the music was beautiful."
