Following welcoming messages, the sixteen Orientation Assistants (OAs) performed their original song and dance routine atop the Chapel stairs. Soon after, students and parents parted ways. Nervous and excited, students were assigned OA groups and "'3r had the opportunity to meet the other students of their incoming freshmen class. Meetings with advisors, learning how to register for classes, taking the dreaded placement exams, all on top of the anxiety of figuring out what to bring to school and hoping to find a roommate—freshmen orientation was overwhelming for some. Despite the anxieties of transitioning to college, the FOCUS schedule provided breaks in the day and fun activities at night to give the freshmen a taste of college life. On the first night of each June FOCUS session, freshmen were invited to the Union Great Hall for entertainment, which ranged from Stolie, a solo musician and comedian, to enigmatic mentalist, Chris Carter. Following entertainment, freshmen were invited on the traditional "Slurpee Run" to 7-11 with the OAs. The next morning brought the conclusion of FOCUS. Students met with individual advisors and scheduled their first semester of classes at VU After a final performance by the Orientation Assistants and a slideshow of pictures from the previous day, freshmen and their families were sent on their way. In just a few short months, the freshmen class returned to campus, eager and ready to begin their Valpo experience. -Amie Klingensmith Senior Orientation Assistants Anna Gasper Teamwork, fun, and excitement and Zach Albers display their Valpo pride as is the craze at Valpo during the they spend time with incoming freshmen. summer month of FOCUS.

Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53203 414.908.6000 MillerHighLifeTheatre.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sarah Maio [email protected] 414-908-6056 King Crimson Announce “Music Is Our Friend” North American Tour Dates 2021 King Crimson comes to the Miller High Life Theatre on August 31, 2021 MILWAUKEE – (June 7, 2021) – The Miller High Life Theatre and Alternative Concert Group are proud to welcome King Crimson with special guest The Zappa Band to the Miller High Life Theatre, August 31, 2021. Artist VIP presale is June 9 at 11 a.m., and venue presale is June 10th at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, June 11 at noon at the Miller High Life Theatre box office or Ticketmaster. When King Crimson returns to action this July, it will be the seventh year that the band has toured since returning to performing live in 2014, a run only interrupted by the lockdown in 2020. In that time, the audience has been reinvented, as much as the band itself, something Robert Fripp noted after the band’s performance in Pompeii, Italy’s famous amphitheater: “In Pompeii, a large percentage of the audience was young couples; KC moved into the mainstream in Italy. I walked onstage knowing that this band's position in the world has changed level.” - Robert Fripp The band’s shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many songs from their seminal 1969 album In the Court of the Crimson King, described by Pete Townshend as an “uncanny masterpiece.” The 7-piece line-up play many historic pieces, which Crimson has never previously played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written.” There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight.

  • Schule Am Stadtrand
    KING CRIMSON – 01. July 2018 – Berlin, Admiralspalast – Uncertain Times Tour - Text: Holger Ott Schwere Kost und ein anstrengender, langer Abend stehen heute auf meinem Plan. KING CRIMSON mit ihrem, als etwas exzentrisch geltenden Bandleader ROBERT FRIPP, sind in der Stadt und geben im ehrwürdigen Admiralspalast gleich drei Konzerte an drei Abenden. Betrachtet man den Tourplan, scheint das wohl bei ihnen so üblich zu sein. Anderenorts gibt es auch Zusatzkonzerte wegen der enormen Nachfrage. Ein kluger Rechner würde überlegen, weshalb die Band nicht in größere Säle gewechselt hat, um alles mit einem Rutsch abzuarbeiten, aber der Rechner hat dabei ROBERT FRIPP vergessen. Für ihn ist es wichtiger Qualität abzuliefern, als die Massen zu bespaßen. Somit bildet der Admiralspalast das perfekte Ambiente, um das 'Klanggewitter' auf die Bühne zu bringen. Zudem können sich die Band, die Techniker und Roadies ein paar Tage Berlin gönnen. Da Foto- und Videoaufnahmen streng verboten sind, kann ich mich entspannt in meinem Sitz zurücklehnen und das Ereignis über mich ergehen lassen. Ja, die Fotoregelung ist schon etwas Besonderes, das doch mal Erwähnung verdient hat. Bei der Einlasskontrolle wird jedem Besucher alles technische Gerät abgenommen. Zwei riesige Schilder auf der Bühne weisen darauf hin, dass bei einem Verstoß, der 'Täter' sofort aus dem Saal komplimentiert wird. Ein Ansager erklärt, dass erst nach Ende des Konzertes fotografiert werden darf, und zwar ab dem Moment, an dem Bassist TONY LEVIN seine eigene Kamera zur Hand nimmt, um Bilder vom Publikum zu machen. Und womit soll das Publikum fotografieren? Ich habe meine Kamera und mein Mobiltelefon zum Auto zurückgeschleppt. Einige haben es dennoch geschafft ihr Telefon hinein zu schmuggeln und wer schon im Dunkeln das Gerät einschaltet und somit eine Lichtquelle erzeugt, wird von den Ordnern aufs Korn genommen.

  • King Crimson – Live in Chicago
    King Crimson – Live in Chicago (73:42 + 79:51, 2 CDs, Discipline Global Mobile, 2017) Über zu wenig Material von King Crimson braucht man sich in letzter Zeit nun wirklich zu beklagen. Gerade wurde u.a. die 21(!) CDs umfassende „Sailor’s Tale“ betitelte Rückschau der Jahre 1970-72 unters Volk gebracht, während die aktuelle Inkarnation der Band erneut auf Tour geht. „Live In Chicago“ stammt aus dem Sommer dieses Jahres und man fragt sich dennoch unweigerlich: ein weiteres Livealbum von King Crimson, ist das nun wirklich nötig? Einmal mehr lautet die klare Antwort ‚Ja‘, auch wenn sicherlich dieses Werk letztendlich vor allem die Die-Hard-Fans der Band begeistern wird. Seit 2015 erschienen bereits diverse Liveveröffentlichungen der Band um Robert Fripp (2015: „Live At The Orpheum“, 2016: „Live In Toronto“ und „Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of The Monkey Mind“, 2017: „Heroes EP“ und der Japan Import „Live In Vienna“), so dass „Live In Chicago“ eine weitere Fortsetzung der aktuellen Reinkarnation mit drei(!) Schlagzeugern bedeutet. In der Besetzung Robert Fripp (Gitarre, Keyboards), Mel Collins (Saxophon, Flöte), Gavin Harrison (Schlagzeug), Jakko Jakszyk (Gitarre, Flöte, Gesang), Tony Levin (Bass, Stick, Gesang), Pat Mastelotto (Schlagzeug), Bill Rieflin (Keyboards), Jeremy Stacey (Schlagzeug, Keyboards) entstand dieser Mitschnitt auf letzten US Tour. Gerade im Vergleich mit den anderen Aufzeichnungen der letzten Jahre fällt auf, dass man sich zwar vermehrt mit den Klassikern der 70er Jahre auseinandersetzt, aber neben gewissen Songkonstanten in der Setlist wie z.B. ‚Starless‘, ’21st Century Schizoid Man‘, ‚Easy Money‘, ‚Lark’s Tongues In Aspic I‘ oder ‚Pictures Of A City‘ umspannt jeder Livemitschnitt eine anregende Variation der Setlist, mit einer Mischung aus frühen Songperlen, wie auch komplett neuem bzw.

  • Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
    ROLL OF THUNDER HEAR MY CRY MILDRED D. TAYLOR NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER Author's Note My father was a master storyteller. He could tell a fine old story that made me hold my sides with rolling laughter and sent happy tears down my cheeks, or a story of stark reality that made me shiver and be grateful for my own warm, secure surroundings. He could tell stories of beauty and grace, stories of gentle dreams, and paint them as vividly as any picture with splashes of character and dialogue. His memory detailed every event of ten or forty years or more before, just as if it had happened yesterday. By the fireside in our northern home or in the South where I was born, I learned a history not then written in books but one passed from generation to generation on the steps of moonlit porches and beside dying fires in one-room houses, a history of great-grandparents and of slavery and of the days following slavery: of those who lived still not free, yet who would not let their spirits be enslaved. From my father the storyteller I learned to respect the past, to respect my own heritage and myself. From my father the man I learned even more, for he was endowed with a special grace that made him tower above other men. He was warm and steadfast, a man whose principles would not bend, and he had within him a rare strength that sustained not only my sister and me and all the family but all those who sought his advice and leaned upon his wisdom.

    Tweet it! Progressive English rock legends KING CRIMSON @DGMHQ make their Kimmel Center return 11/2 &11/3. More info @ kimmelcenter.org Press Contact: Monica Robinson 215-790-5847 [email protected] PROGRESSIVE ROCK ICONS KING CRIMSON BRING ‘RADICAL ACTION’ TO PHILLY FOR TWO NIGHTS NOVEMBER 2 & 3 AT MERRIAM THEATER FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, September 25, 2017) –– Progressive rock icons King Crimson, have announced an extension to their 2017 North American Radical Action Tour, including a stop at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts’ Merriam Theater in Philadelphia, PA for two nights, November 2 and 3, 2017. “We are thrilled to welcome the return of King Crimson to our Campus following the popularity of their 2014 Kimmel Center engagement,” said Anne Ewers, President and CEO of the Kimmel Center. “The group shares a passion for innovation, covers a wide range of musical genres, and will appeal to the broad and diverse Kimmel Center audience eager for their return.” King Crimson was conceived in 1968, and officially formed in 1969, in the Fulham Palace Cafe, London (Fripp/Ian McDonald/Greg Lake/Michael Giles/Pete Sinfield), coming to prominence after supporting The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park. Their ground-breaking debut In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969), described by Pete Townshend as "an uncanny masterpiece", began a career that has spanned nearly five decades. The current 8-piece lineup – its ninth since 1969 – includes founder Robert Fripp on guitar, Tony Levin on bass, singer-guitarist Jakko Jakszyk, and Mel Collins on flute and saxophones alongside the drummers and multi-instrumentalists, Gavin Harrison, Pat Mastelotto, Jeremy Stacey and Bill Rieflin.

  • Último Concierto De King Crimson En Chile: El Universo Armónico Y Maniático De Robert Fripp
    Último concierto de King Crimson en Chile: El universo armónico y maniático de Robert Fripp La expectativa es altísima. Ser testigos de las ondas sonoras que vibran desde el silencio de las ideas, desde esa intimidad delirante de perfección artística y musical desbordada, desde el alma de King Crimson, desde la mente de Robert Fripp. Siete músicos en escena constituyen la formación actual del grupo. Destaca en ella una línea de tres bateristas (¡tres!), integrada por Gavin Harrison, Jeremy Stacey y Pat Mastelotto, junto a los grandes e históricos Tony Levin (bajo) y Mel Collins (saxofón y flauta). Quizás el cambio más influyente es el reemplazo de Andrew Belew. En su lugar, el vocalista y segunda guitarra Jakko Jakszyk cumple una muy buena tarea. Además de ser un socio colaborador de Fripp y yerno de Michael Giles (otro de los fundadores del grupo), con su timbre de voz recrea fielmente el repertorio del grupo entre los psicodélicos años 1969 y 1974. Es la noche del 13 de octubre de 2019 en Santiago. Apenas pasadas las 19:00 horas. Es la segunda presentación en el Movistar Arena. King Crimson abre con “Hell hounds of Krim”, dejando claro que las baterías eran una orquesta por sí solas. Último concierto de King Crimson en Chile: El universo armónico y maniático de Robert Fripp La excelencia en la ejecución instrumental e interpretativa va más allá de lo imaginable durante todo el concierto. Navegar durante tres horas por la discografía de joyas seleccionadas como “Cirkus”, “Epitaph”, “Frame by frame”, “Moonchild”, “Lark’s tongues in Aspic part two”, “Cat food”, “Indiscipline” y “The court of the Crimson King”, entre otros temas consulares en la música progresiva, genera un estado de permanente emoción y asombro.

  • King Crimson – Live in Vienna
    King Crimson – Live In Vienna (66:09 + 72:59 + 48:15, 3 CDs, Discipline Global Mobile, 2018) Ursprünglich sollte dieser am 1.Dezember 2016 in Wien entstandene Mitschnitt bereits viel früher erscheinen. Doch einmal mehr liefen die Dinge bei King Crimson etwas anders als geplant, sodass man den ebenfalls exzellenten Auftritt „Live In Chicago“ zuvor veröffentlichte. Inzwischen ist aber auch „Live In Vienna“ als 3-fach CD für einen absoluten fairen Preis erhältlich, während die japanische Ausgabe bereits seit letztem Jahr für den entsprechend teuren Importpreis, sowie mit anderem Bonusmaterial, auf den Markt kam. Eigentlich kann man für dieses Album komplett die Einleitung zur Kritik von „Live In Chicago“ übernehmen, oder um es mit einem Zitat bzw. zwei Sätzen auf den Punkt zu bringen: „Ein weiteres Livealbum von King Crimson, ist das nun wirklich nötig? Einmal mehr lautet die klare Antwort ‚Ja‘, auch wenn sicherlich dieses Werk letztendlich vor allem die Die-Hard- Fans der Band begeistern wird.“ Eingespielt in der 7er BesetzungRobert Fripp (Gitarre, Keyboards), Jakko Jakszyk (Gitarre, Gesang), Tony Levin (Bass, Sticks), Mel Collins (Saxophon, Flöte), Pat Mastelotto (Schlagzeug), Jeremy Stacey (Schlagzeug, Keyboards), Gavin Harrison (Schlagzeug) beeindruckt diese Aufnahme einmal durch ihr präzises, lebendiges Zusammenspiel, des Weiteren durch den Ansatz, das Songmaterial immer wieder durch die jeweils beteiligten Musiker neu zu beleben und anders zu interpretieren. Im Vergleich zu dem knapp einem halben Jahr später erschienenem „Live In Chicago“ setzte man zwar auch in Wien auf 70er Jahre Standards wie ‚Starless‘, ’21st Century Schizoid Man‘, ‚Easy Money‘, ‚Larks‘ Tongues in Aspic (Part II)‘ oder ‚Pictures Of A City‘, kommen in Österreich in erster Linie eine Mixtur von neuem Material und Frühwerken wie „Lizard“ (1970) und „Islands“ (1971) zum tragen.
