there was only one High School Show Choir
and that was Sundance High School "Adren-
aline." In order to receive the first place tro-
phy, they had to achieve a superior rating
which they did.
The most interesting competition of the
day was with the High School Jazz Bands.
Belle Fourche took first with 86 points, the
Sundance High School Jazz Band took sec-
ond with 85 points and the SHS Jazz Combo
took third with 83 points. The Sundance Jazz
Combo was held to a higher standard than
the Jazz Bands due to the smaller number
of players and more challenging music, and
the score reflected that higher expectation.
Both judges were asked to select one out-
standing soloist for the entire day regard-
less of age or division. The outstanding in-
strumental soloist award went to a girl from
the Spearfish Middle School Jazz Band. The
most outstanding vocal soloist award went
to Rebecca Dulaney from Sundance for her
solo in the High School Show Choir's perfor-
mance of music from the Broadway musical
"Dreamgirls."
With the help of Janet Lake, Mason Neimen,
Arin Russell, Jim O'Connor and several high
school students, the first annual Sundance
Jazz Festival was a success. All six Sundance
groups who performed at the festival also
performed one last time at the Pops Concert
on Tuesday night. Hope you made it[
