More information will be forthcoming, so get your camera ready and head out on Saturday, June 20. A message from Mayor McLeod In a little less than 10 months, a very important event will take place. In April 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau will conduct its survey to count the actual number of people living in the United States, known as the decennial census. The census count is extremely important to Hoffman Estates as a Village. Many things depend on us getting a proper count of our residents. We receive state and federal funds based on our population. A short count means we won’t get our fair share of those funds. In addition, state and federal legislative boundaries are based on population.

  • Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour
    COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.

  • Gradations of Thrills, Kicks and Moonwalks: a Textual and Cultural Analysis of the Effects of Michael Jackson, the Legend and Thriller, the Legendary
    GRADATIONS OF THRILLS, KICKS AND MOONWALKS: A TEXTUAL AND CULTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF MICHAEL JACKSON, THE LEGEND AND THRILLER, THE LEGENDARY Kasey Cullors A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2011 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Dr. Kristen Rudisill, Thesis Chairperson Dr. Jeremy Wallach Dr. Angela Nelson ii ABSTRACT This research seeks to surface the social, cultural and political effects of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” As a whole, this body of work investigates the performative elements of “Thriller” as discourse. Using Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic approach, Mikhail Bakhtin’s heteroglossia and theory of the carnivalesque, Karl Marx’s concept of commodity fetishism, Thorstein Veblen’s notion of conspicuous consumption and Homi Bhabha’s concept of mimicry, this study finds that Jackson is able to be filtered through rituals and traditions in order to produce an image that is not only larger than life, but extremely malleable and able to signify a variety of cultural conditions. Thinkers are challenged to see Michael Jackson, through the work of “Thriller” as a multifarious entity, worth more than mere entertainment value. The examination of “Thriller” establishes that although Jackson is a popular culture icon, his relevance and influence exceed the arena in which he primarily performed. Jackson, as a complex figure, is more than an entertainer; he is a performance. Inasmuch as others depict elements of “Thriller,” its very concept is rooted in the anticipated future reinterpretation and redistribution of other performances.

Degree awarded June 2016 ii © 2016 Chelsea Nicole Oden iii THESIS ABSTRACT Chelsea Nicole Oden Master of Arts School of Music and Dance June 2016 Title: Reflection and Introspection in the Film Scores of Thomas Newman The most transformative moments in life cause us to look both backward (reflection) and inward (introspection). Likewise, reflective and introspective moments in film often align with important plot points. Separating music and dialogue from the rhythms of the image, these moments suspend time, creating a distinct temporality for the character(s) and the viewer to observe the past and the present in juxtaposition. The music of film composer Thomas Newman brings to life some of the most beautiful reflective and introspective moments in cinema. In this thesis, I approach Newman’s understudied, but highly successful film scores from narrative, musical, and audiovisual perspectives.

  • Carrie Underwood Stages Biggest Tour of Career with “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round” Launches with Back to Back Sold out Shows
    Information for Release: Carrie Underwood Stages Biggest Tour of Career with “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round” Launches with Back to Back Sold Out Shows Nashville, TN – (February 3, 2016) – Carrie Underwood’s “Storyteller Tour - Stories in the Round” launched on Saturday in Jacksonville, FL, and continued Monday in Atlanta, GA, both to sold-out 360-degree crowds. The tour's 17 semi-trucks and 8 buses rolled into Greensboro, NC for the third show tonight to continue its highly-successful 2016 run. Already fans and critics are raving about her stand-out performances coupled with the dramatic in-the-round stage production. The show "is a no-expense-spared spectacle that highlights her approachable beauty, her roar of a voice and a substantive set of songs that have commanded the charts since her 'American Idol' victory a long decade ago," expressed the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "The in-the-round setup commissioned by Underwood allows for unparalleled vantage points- and even those in the arena's highest peaks could watch one of four oval video screens situated above each side of the stage." And says the Florida Times-Union, "Lasers and swaying spotlights and fireworks and explosions all added to the spectacle. But make no mistake, Underwood was the star of the show." Underwood, known for her vocal prowess and the ability to create stellar performance moments in any realm, concert, television, or recordings, spent much of 2015 working with her team to create her most spectacular concert tour to date. Barry Lather (Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Usher, Michael Jackson) is the tour’s Creative Director and Butch Allen (Metallica, The Eagles, Eric Church, No Doubt) is Production & Lighting Designer.
