Notes

1959-1960 was an exciting year for the music program. After many years in the old high school building, they moved into their new building- Crawford Music Building. Philip Mack directed the A Cappella Choir and Lawrence Schoenhals directed the Oratorio Society. The Madrigal Singers was directed by Carl Reed.

The A Cappella Choir toured during spring break performing eleven concerts. They sported new costumes- blue blouses with black skirts for women and dark suits with bow ties for men. The also performed in Seattle area churches and for other events.
1959-1960 Repertoire

Performing on the program were the Madrigal Singers with Winifred Leighton, violinist. Carl Reed directed and accompanied on harpsichord. Paul Hsu and Bruce Paden also assisted on violin and cello.
