1988 Gallimaufry

S w i n g C h o i r ffi welve vocally talented IMSA students, under the supervi– sion of Galen Prenevost, came together this year to form the jazzy swing choir. One of Galen Prenevost's major goals was to show off the artistically talented youths here at IMSA. His major concentration was upon solo singing enhanced with minimal dance steps. The members of the Swing Choir handled the music well. The focus of the singing was on Broadway musicals, jazz, and genre music. Swing Choir Fron Row: R.C.
