The annual Pop Concert was a beloved institution at Dondero High School from 1971-2006. It was directed by music instructor Rick Hartsoe for 35 years, assisted by Jan Stewart since 1983. The A Capella Choir and student instrumentalists traditionally presented 20 popular songs per concert: ten full choir pieces chosen for their harmonic and instrumental interest, and ten solos of the students' choosing. The nine soloists were student-selected via an audition process, and the top soloist each year was obliged to perform an encore.
