Chamber Singers serve up
last dish of soup and sound
The Chamber Singers of Shel-
ton High School put a classi-
cal period to the 25th Soup and
Sound concert series at Shelton
United Methodist Church on Fri-
day with their rendition of sev-
eral Christmas carols.
Pews at the church were filled
by dozens who attended the third
of three gatherings for meals and
music hosted by the congrega-
tion. The final song performed
by the students was Catherine
Bennett's arrangement of "Silent
Night" by Catherine Bennett,
marking the end of this year's
program that featured earlier
performances at the church by
two other musical ensembles,
Cecilia String Quartet and Back-
woods WoodjammerS.
Four of the Chamber Singers
will showcase their talent at the
state level. They have been in-
vited to join the 2008 All-State
Choir of the Washington Music
Educator's Association. These
select students are Molly Swan-
son, Philip Avery, Daniel Berndt
and Erika Christensen, who will
be making her second appear-
ance with the choir after being
invited last year as a junior. Paul
Nakhla, director of choral music
at SHS and Oakland Bay Junior
High School, said the All-State
Choir will gather in Yakimfi on
the weekend of Presidents' Day
in February for performances to
follow three days of intensive re-
hearsals.
The Chamber Singers were es-
tablished at Shelton High School
in the 2006-7 school year. This
choir was created to give students
an opportunity to perform ad-
vanced choral music. The Cham-
ber Singers are an auditioned
choir with a required year-long
commitment from the singers.
BESIDES THE four state
qualifiers, this year's choir in-
cludes: Elizabeth Bechtolt, Nat-
alie Brownfield, Emily Carroll,
Alex Chamberlin, Lawrence
Chapman, Rikki Dycus, Col-
lin Dysart, Mary Fourre, Cassie

ily Johnson, Maricha LeCount,
Miranda Matson-Jewett, Ruby

The wrestling match at Doyle's Hall
on Saturday evening drew a small gath-
ering, although the exhibition is said to
have been good, but short. Sackriding,
the Michigan man, was outclassed by
Skfllman, of Elma, who brought down
his opponent fairly easy.
Christmas Day was about as wet
and disagreeable out-of-doors as could
be imagined, but in the homes was
warmth and cheerfulness, and mel-
lowed by the influence of good dinners
most people managed to extract the
spirit of the day.
