‘CAMPUS: UPDAT "BPRIL 21, 1982 _ Pocono Boys Review byLori Lightner ACC students who took advan- tage of the free tickets to the Pocono Bay Singers concert were treated to an enjoyable evening of fine music. Under the direction and piano accompaniment of Dr. K. Bernard Schade, thirty-two — enthusiastic young artists aged ten to fourteen gave an appreciative Alpena aud- ience a performance it won't soon forget. The musical selection contained something for just about everyone. Whether it was a rendition form Mendelssohn or Mozart or a medley from “The Sound of Music,” the talent of the young singers shone forth. The sound of 32 beautiful treble voices in harmony was truly a joy to hear. The first half of the program consisted of sacred works selected from the Romantic, Renaissance, Contemporary, and Baroque eras. Included among these were Mozart’s ‘‘Laudate Dominum,” Niccola Porpora’s “The Magnifieat’’, and the “Ave Maria’’. These were sung in Latin and must have pro- vided a real challenge for the gifted formers. presel and variety. It was a mix of part- songs, song and dance choreogra- phy, a medley from ‘‘The Sound of Music,” some Western folk music, and a bit of barbershop harmoniz-— ing. Some of the songs performed were “My Bonny Lass,” “Bill Bailey”, and “Home on the Range”. The program ended with a musical tribute to the 300th anniversary of Pennsylvania, with traditional_songs such as “Camptown Races,’” “Cuttin’ down the Pine,’ and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” At one-point during the show, a few of the boys left the stage and sang standing in the aisles. Bringing the action close up helped to in- crease involvement with the aud- jence. It was particularly interesting to hear the small group songs, with a few boys taking turns at different parts. The program might have been enhanced with some more individ- ual features. The singers were brought to Alpena by the Thunder Bay Arts Council. _The Alpena audience found itself caught up in the tre- mendous talent and potential ex- hibited by these boys and respond- ed exuberantly with a standing ovation. Maintenance and Budget Problems by Georgia Wheeler "Although there are still some cold days ahead, winter is on its way out and ACC has maintained within the budget so far this year, says Dale IIsley, Director of build- ds. in the past 10 years, but cost has gone up 300%. The biggest problem in the budgeting is the utilities. llsley says that custodial main- tenance has been cut back so far that the buildings have already been showing it. There are’ leaks in roofs with no money for repairs. If there are any more cut backs, the remedy is unknown. ~The budgeting covers all the buildings at ACC except the dorm, which has its own monies. “The rumor that East Campus will be closed, is just a rumor and it will remain open so far,” says Ilsley. lIlsley says that even though this has been one of the worst winters we've had in some time, ACC only had one problem with snow remov- al this winter. Snow removal is con- tracted outside of the college and we have had real good luck with the snow crew. Ilsley, states, overall the year has run pretty smooth with budgeting and snow removal.
