The Behrend Concert Choir
has returned from its spring tour
which lasted from Wednesday,
April 21 to Sunday, April 25.
The choir traveled by bus
from Clearfield, PA to Indiana,
PA and to State College, PA;
Arlington, VA and Annopolis,
MD. This is the fifth concert
tour in seven years, and according
to David Stuntz, music
instructor, there will be one next
year.
Choir members stayed in a
motel while in State College, but
resided with host families during
the remainder of the trip.
An advantage to host
families, says Stuntz, is that,
"host families get to see what
college students are really like
today."
Stuntz believes that a trip
like this is great publicicty for
Behrend, as well as college
students.

to spirituals to lighthearted

"I wish we had been able to
go to Washington. That was a
big dissapointment," said Terri
Swanson, a fourth semester
communications/psychology
major. "Everything else went
really well."
The concert tour was funded
by revenues generated by the
choir throughout the year.
Fundraisers included candy and
ticket sales, and free will
offerings collected at churc..
concerts.

with the tour. Officers include
Sherri R. Cokain, president;
Corinne L. McCreary, treasurer;
