The Choir is a service organization which provides the music for many occasions. Each week the group sings for weekly Chapel, sometimes presenting the entire program. During the Christmas season our appearances are numerous. Last year we presented 11 concerts in 17 days. Some of these included a telecast, singing for the service club at Dugway Proving Grounds, and for Chapel the 'ast Wednesday before the Christmas recess. Each year the choir goes on tour. These tours have taken the group to various sections of the West. Last year the tour was through Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. While on tour, we do some sightseeing. Last year we visited the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Ganado Mission and the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and the Boulder Dam in Nevada.
