Annandale High School Bands Sixteen-Time Virginia Honor Band Annandale High School Bands Sixteen-Time Virginia Honor Band AHS Bands Weekly Update – 10/11/2016 Hello Annandale Band Families, Director’s Notes: I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend and had a chance to relax, reconnect, and catch up. We enjoyed a great week last week with a lighter rehearsal schedule and a fun and exciting homecoming game highlighted by the presence of many of our AHS Band alumni, a great crowd response to the best performance yet of our show, and an Atoms Football win! This week it is back to business as usual as we prepare for our final formative assessment—the USBands competition at Westminster High School. We are the only band in our class this week, so we are focused on improving our scores and moving toward where we need to be to earn the coveted Superior rating at State Marching Band Assessment on October 29th. Music Checks Music memory checks for marching band will be on Thursday this week and include the Star Spangled Banner and all four parts of the show music. Marching Percussion Rehearsals This week there will be no percussion rehearsals outside of our normal schedule. Dr. Halligan will be present at Wednesday’s full ensemble rehearsal to work with the battery and Mr. Johnston will be working with the front ensemble a bit during the game on Friday. Make sure you have your music with you! Friday Night This Friday night will be an unprecedentedly busy evening for the Marching Atoms. We will be welcoming 8th grade band members who will attend AHS to our Rising Atom Night and also be honoring our seniors for Senior Night at the same game. Due to the final home game being th played at 4 p.m. on Nov. 4 , the decision has been made to our traditional Senior Night Recognition with our seniors and their parents this Friday, October 14th at our normal kick off time of 7 p.m. The decision to have Senior Night this week was made by AHS athletics administration allows for parents/chaperones to attend the event without taking time off of work. Please see Mrs. White’s CHARMS email to sign up to bring a dessert for Rising Atom Night and/or to help out with Senior Night. Report time for underclassmen is 5 p.m. and pizza is being provided by a generous donation. Saturday As stated above, we will be traveling to Westminster, Maryland for our final competition prior to state assessment this weekend. Because this is a day show, it gives us an opportunity to have a competition morning rehearsal. This is something we typically do, but have been unable to with the competitions so far this year due to the later performance times. The schedule for Saturday can be found on the final page of this update. -CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE- Joseph Witkowski Scott Niehoff @AHSatomsBand Director of Bands Associate Director of Bands [email protected] 4700 Medford Drive [email protected] Annandale, Virginia 22003 UVA Band Day The University of Virginia’s Cavalier Marching Band has extended a warm invitation to members of the Marching Atoms to participate in UVA Band Day at Scott Stadium on the Grounds of the University of Virginia.

  • History of Fairfax City
    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.

  • Mcintire Department of Music Newsletter
    University of Virginia McIntire Department of Music Newsletter: 2015-16 Edition Letter from the Chair: A “Banner” Year of Music Synergies This year, for the first time in our nearly 100-year history, students and parents arriving for Family Weekend and Days on the Lawn saw "Music" proudly displayed above the steps of Old Cabell. The banners set the tone for a year in which we celebrated the incredible diversity and quality of our department. We created mash-up, synergistic programming blending various areas of our research. We promoted our scholars, composers, performers and technologists as superstars using a new website and publicity engine. We launched a brand new Performance Concentration for Majors. And we actively engaged in a dialog about the place of Music in the 21st Century University. We challenged ourselves to ask "What is Music?" through a Flash Seminar, and to think globally about the impact of our work. All of these efforts have contributed to a really fantastic year. I invite you to visit the new website and explore the vision. The website features a significant redesign with powerful new tools such as an Audio Lounge, a Music Life Blog, and a dynamic front page that evokes different roles of music in the University. The first slide (also the cover image of this newsletter) is accompanied by the caption, "Music: a place to gather”, and it shows hundreds of students gathered in front of Old Cabell Hall. We strive to make our Music Department a safe space for creative learning, free imagination, celebration of knowledge and good spirited gathering.

  • A Geographical Investigation of Football and Its Fans at Auburn University
    A Geographical Investigation of Football and its Fans at Auburn University by Orion Michael Stand-Gravois A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Orion Michael Stand-Gravois Approved by Philip Chaney, Chair, Associate Professor of Geology and Geography Tom Martinson, Emeritus Professor of Geology and Geography Gregory Kowalski, Professor of Sociology Abstract In Auburn, AL, football, and especially college football, reigns supreme. Particularly, interest is placed on the Tigers, the team representing the local institution, Auburn University. This research paper investigates the spatio-temporal role of football at Auburn University and presents findings that are indicative of the spatial characteristics of Auburn’s football fan region and their relationship with the team. Sources used to map Auburn’s fan region included records of 2010 season ticket holders and Auburn booster club locations and membership figures. The fans are predominantly found in Alabama and Georgia. Heavy concentrations are seen in Auburn, as well as major urban centers with close proximity to Auburn such as Atlanta, Birmingham, and Montgomery. Questionnaire surveys of Auburn fans found that the majority of participants had attended Auburn and/or had family members who had attended Auburn. Fans commonly mentioned words like family, tradition, and atmosphere when describing why they liked Auburn Tigers football. ii Acknowledgments First and foremost I offer my sincerest gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Philip Chaney, who has shown unwavering confidence and support in my work throughout the entire process.
