The performance, which took place in Rudder Audito rium, was full of well-performed vo cal music and some genuinely funny moments. The curtain rose at 8 p.m. and the audience members rose to their feet as the group began its concert with a brilliant rendition of “The Spirit of Aggieland.” T his was followed by a rush of applause and whoops from the audience. The two-hour performance fea tured not only A&M songs, but also spotlighted folksongs, hymns and ragtime. Throughout the night, in dividual members of the grobp had the opportunity tossing separately, including director Robert L. Boone, who received a standing ovation af ter his number. The most enjoyable of these per formances was a barbershop quartet known as the Aggienizers. Consist ing of four members of the Singing Cadets, the quartet performed a memorable and funny song about a double date that turned out to be less than pleasurable. The hymns performed by the Singing Cadets were simply out standing. The group has a remarka ble vocal harmony, best demon strated on versions of “Alleluia” and “Amazing Grace.” On the latter, the Review music every time. How e quite capable oi doiw group was accompanied by piano, guitar, bass and drums. Aside from the guitar being inaudible, the song was excellent — both reverent and high-spirited. “Amazing Grace” was preceded by an excellent a cnpella version of the Lord’s Prayer. At folk music, both American and otherwise, the group is outstanding. They performed "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme." Boone called this Singing Cadets perfor mance, “Our spiciest song.” The group also performed an hi larious rendition of the old Ameri can favorite “The Blue-tailed Fly.” Several members of the group dis played their soloing talents on that particular melody, singing the verses while the rest of the group sang the chorus. The song also had the full musical accompaniment “Amazing Grace” had, with a banjo included, which only added to the overall ef fect of the song. This instrumental lineup ap peared again in the group’s ragtime set. They paid homage to the father of ragtime, Scott Joplin, as they per formed his classic “The Entertai ner.” Fortunately, the Singing Cadets avoided most of the standard chorus songs in their repertoire. Because of all of the other songs they do so well, they do not need to perform this chorus standards as they dts strated with “Battle Hvmnofthl public.” During a period of tran® spoke to the audience ah mp’s visit to Europe.
