Back to the Beat

     The Robert C. Byrd Show Choir gained a new, vital member. New Director Mrs. Victoria Ray Haley tranferred from South Harrison Middle School where she held the position of assistant band director. Although she is new to instructing high school show choir field, she was a member of the show choir while a student at Washington Irving High School. She is plenty experienced vocally, being the instructor and member of local and travelling choirs.

     The Show Choir has a total of 22 performers: 6 seniors, 1 junior, 5 sophomores, and 10 freshman. Only 10 of the performers are returning.
     The theme of this year's show is British Invasion. Song choices are among the British artists such as Elton John, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Adele, The Police, Coldplay, and of course, The Beatles.

     The returning performers are thrilled to have a new director and have adjusted smoothly. Mrs.Haley is starting the year with only one expectation: creating a "united, creative, and musical aproach to competition and class." Kyndra Lantz
