I remember when we won...I think... a choir competition at St. Agnes in Houston.  I have a photo of our group on stage.  I remember the drama about our hair/bangs and how we had to cut them before we were allowed to participate.  We were good.  I think our director was Mrs. White.  Does anyone else have memories about this?

oh yeah, I remember that. We wore a white shirt, white skirt, and a vest with something on it, maybe the initials of the school. There were a lot of other schools at the contest. Going to Houston was a big deal for us.

I remember having Mrs. White for choir teacher in grade school.  But I remember Dr. Meatyard being the choir teacher in high school.

Helen,

Please post the picture.

I remember Ms Conway in Grade School......... remember the Ocarinas?  I don't think we ever got even one song down.  I also remember the plastic burning my lips - probably PCBs or some other chemical like vynal acetate or some else just as harmLESS.

I remember Dr Meatyard in HS.  We had a program at the Jack Tar.  I thought we won a competition in Beaumont also.

Did anybody else play the autoharp? I think that's what it was called. Like a harp, but you had to hold it on your lap and play with a guitar pick. I might have mastered one song, and the Tonette? I could only play You Are My Sunshine on it. Mrs. Conway could really play some bogie woogie piano! 

Jerry, I remember having a black plastic tonette.  In fact, I still have it!  lol  i never could get the hang of playing it.

My daughter posted the photo for us...enjoy.

Awesome Helen.  I didn't know we had a photo of our performance.  Thanks for sharing.
