MUSIC GROUP TOURS THE CORONATION CHOIR. The Choir takes an extended annual concert tour of from ten to eighteen days, presenting a varied program of music and Christian testi mony to churches, high schools, Youth for Christ groups , etc. A chartered bus provides comfort and convenience for this group and for special instrumental soloists. THE BAND. Because of the instruments necessary to the Band, the tour of this group is shorter in time and distance. Like other musical groups, the Band accepts a number of engagements in churches in and near Los Angeles for their expression of music and testimony. THE ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF MUSIC The outstanding annual musical event of the Bible Institute is the Annual Festival of Music. The Coronation Choir and the Freshmen choruses unite for this great event. With them, the Psalmist String Quartet and other instrumental artists of our student body present the best of thei r repertoire. Often the Band appears with this united effort.
