The show, called the "Spring Fling," consisted of songs the Coalition has done within the last year, many from past years, and solos sung by LaDonna Townsend, Merrilee Freeburg, Pam Riggs, and Jack D. Millard. In April, some students took part in the State Small Group Vocal Contest and six Division I ratings were brought home. Three soloists, Kirk Statler, Janice Ziskovsky, and Michelle Rene Ray, a like duet of Merrillee Freeburg and Pam Riggs, girls sextet, and madrigal all earned I's. The choir went to the E.C.I.C. festival at Linn-Mar in February. They rehearsed in the afternoon with the other schools, then, in the evening, the mass choir sang for the public. Mr. Price said he had great kids who got involved in not just music, but drama and athletics, too. The students in Coalition had pride in what they did, especially the light and sound technicians.
