This year's Logan County Musical Festival,
presented in the Hartsburg-Emden High School gym, was called "An Adventure in Music." Seventy-five
chorus students represented Chester-East Lincoln, Hartsburg-Emden,
Mount Pulaski, New Holland-Middletown, West Lincoln-Broadwell and Zion
Lutheran of Lincoln. One hundred band students hailed from those same
schools and Lincoln Junior High.

Mrs. Aurelius-Muir offered interesting lessons
in listening to voices and sounds to the 75 chorus students who
attended concert practice on Thursday afternoon. Students were
encouraged to create sounds and pay attention to tones in the human
voice. |

As the guest chorus conductor, Mrs.
Aurelius-Muir used
visual and audio prompts to get her message across to the chorus students.
Her uninhibited expressions kept students amused and encouraged
them to join her in making the sounds of "lip vowels" and "jaw
vowels."

Aurelius-Muir encouraged students to find out how their
ears were designed to hear sounds.
Two Logan County music teachers
who happen to be sisters took turns accompanying the students during
their practice session on Thursday afternoon. Becky Kunken teaches
at Mount Pulaski, and her sister Cinda Dorgan teaches at New
Holland-Middletown.

Mr. Rex E. Benson was the guest conductor for
100 band students who participated in the annual Logan County Music
Festival on Thursday evening. The event hosts always invite two
guest music instructors from outside the county to offer the
students an opportunity to learn new concepts and experience
different methods of understanding their craft.
