The instruments performed under direction of Ron Rickert. Jessica Armstrong directed the choir, which was accompanied by Joan Kugler.

Both groups recognized seniors, some of whom were performing for the last time in high school. Others will take the stage next Monday, however, in a much anticipated jazz band concert.

The concert band presented: "March of the Roughnecks," "Prophesy," "The Phantom of the Opera Medley" and "Concerto for Drum Set and Concert Band." The finale piece featured a rousing solo on the trap set by drummer Kevin Koester. The senior, gulping for breath from the grand finish, was called back for more by a standing ovation.
The women¹s ensemble sang: "Can¹t Help Lovin' That Man," "Reflection," "That¹s Amore" and "She Sings." For concert choir it was: "Praise the Lord," "I'll Be Seeing You," "Down by the River to Pray" and "New York City Rhythm." Vocal soloists for ensemble included: Emi Johnston, Brittany Morgan, Ashley Cobb, Harley Horner, Karley Taylor and Emily Schoening. Performing solos for concert choir were: Ben Gardner, Zach Knutzen, Jessica James, Kendra Mostrom and Matt Heng.
Percussionists accompany the voices were: Joe Ketcham, Weston Lewis, Alex Hinz, Knutzen and Koester.
