KELLY WESTON NOBLE “We are the Music-Makers” “We are the Dreamers of Dreams” 2 The Iowa Bandmaster The Iowa Bandmaster 3 President’s Message By Patrick Kearney I have written and rewritten this article several times in the last few days. As I write this I am a 44-year-old guy who has just completed his 22nd year of teaching. I am also writing this having been IBA President for about 3 weeks. I really thought that, given my new title and as a guy who has spent half of his life teaching music, I would have something profound to say to the membership of this organization in my first article as IBA President. The truth is that, as I have gotten older, I find that many things that I once saw as black or white very often turn out to be more of a shade of grey. I am much less likely to make declamatory statements about what I know to be right. I have grown to see that everyone’s situation is very different and that what might appear to be a perfect answer in my world may not work in someone else’s world. So, what can I share with you in this first article? It occurs to me that I have had some great learning experiences recently and maybe by sharing some of those with you we all might learn something. Fortunately, a lot of my most recent learning experiences were shared with many of you at our most recent IBA conference. Tony Garmoe did an outstanding job of putting together a very full and very challenging conference. Tony took on a lot of challenges during his term as President and many of his initiatives will have long-lasting effects on our organization. As I sat and enjoyed the performance of the Cedar Rapids Municipal Band I found myself challenged by conductor Steve Shanley’s interpretation of the second movement of Malcolm Arnold’s Four Scottish Dances. It had been a while since an interpretation of a piece of wind music had made me want to seek out more recordings and learn more about the selection. I know that Steve, as a good conductor should, regularly does this type of research on a piece, but me….not as much recently. I suspect I have gotten just a little bit lazy, but hearing a very good band making a strong interpretive statement on a great piece of music reminded me of how wonderful it is to challenge our listeners. One night later I sat in the audience at the Drake Wind Symphony’s concert. It took me back to my time at Drake 25 years ago and the excitement of being in one of Professor Meunier’s ensembles. In the eyes of those young college students I could see how much he was challenging them. He not only chal - lenged them to play all of the right notes, but he also was challenging them to challenge the audience. Professor Meunier has the unique skill of taking a performance opportunity and making it a challenge for the performers and the listeners. Through programming, creating color through balance, and through his own intensity as a con - ductor it is hard not to feel challenged by a concert of that band. I came away from the concert very proud to be a Drake alum and energized to provide those kinds of experiences to my students and to our audiences. I also had the pleasure of meeting Col. Lowell Graham at the conference. Col. Graham’s message to the membership was important. He articulated the premise that music was important because it “connects disparate peoples by establishing commonalities on an emotional level.” He used that statement to articulate music’s value to other members of the military. Obviously, the idea that we are connecting people through what we teach is very impor - tant. Col. Graham also made another observation that I found very interesting. He connected the idea that he found that people who made music were usually quite smart. He then followed with the observation that smart people usually have considerable influence within their organizations. His connection became that music=smart=influence. By teaching our students to be musically literate, we are assisting them in becoming people of influence. Why wouldn’t everyone want to be part of organizations that promote excellence in the way that we do? Everyone needs to know that music=smart=influence. This leads me to what my term as IBA President is going to be about. This year is going to be about advocacy. There are many ways that we can go about being advocates for music education. The most important is to provide our students with outstanding experiences. Every time our students get to play on a grand stage, playing out - standing literature, we are making a case for the importance of music education. Our students will be our best ambassadors. They can tell our administrators, school board members, communities, legislators, and their parents about the many things they learn in our classrooms. We can also become better advocates by being well read on the most recent research on the importance of arts education. I have just recently read a report by the President’s t continued on page 7 4 The Iowa Bandmaster President-Elect’s Thoughts By Brad Lampe I just had my first meeting with current President Pat Kearney concerning the duties of the President Elect of the Iowa Bandmasters’ Association and it suddenly hit me that this surreal experience of being the President of IBA is actually going to happen. I know that it’s cliché to say, but someone needs to pinch me because this all seems to be a dream come true. I’m looking forward to working with Pat and I’m fortunate to have his wisdom and guidance as I begin this adventure. When I first started teaching in the small town of Shelby, Iowa, I remember attending my first IBA Conference. I wasn’t going to go because it was so far away and I didn’t have much money. But my principal and auperintendent were very sup - portive and my “road guy” from Moore Music had a long talk with me about the benefits, legacy and camaraderie of IBA. I will always be thankful to Gaylin Sudik for not only being a great “road guy” for Moore Music but for also being one of the best mentors that I have ever had.

Black US Army bands and their bandmasters in World War I Peter M. Lefferts This essay sketches the story of the bands and bandmasters of the twenty seven new black army regiments which served in the U.S. Army in World War I. They underwent rapid mobilization and demobilization over 1917-1919, and were for the most part unconnected by personnel or traditions to the long-established bands of the four black regular U.S. Army regiments that preceded them and continued to serve after them. Pressed to find sufficient numbers of willing and able black band leaders, the army turned to schools and the entertainment industry for the necessary talent.

The David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace was first set up by Lynch in the USA in 2005, and in 2012 the foundation was established here in the UK. Its aim is to ensure that any child who wants to learn and practise the Transcendental Meditation programme can do so. TM is the most thoroughly researched and widely practiced programme in the world for developing the full creative potential of the brain and mind, improving health, reducing stress, and improving academic outcomes. The DLF UK also works with stressed teachers, the homeless, prisoners and the many thousands of war veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Award-winning director, writer and producer, David Lynch, has been “diving within” through the Transcendental Meditation technique for over 3o years.

By merging light and sound sine waves, parameters such as frequency, amplitude and spatialization have been mapped into three sound wave generators or voices (bass line, harmonies and lead) and three waveforms from a modular video synthesizer on MaxMSP aiming to audiovisual synchronicity and equivalence. Jordan Dykstra “Within, Outside, and Beside Itself: The Architecture of the CFA” A performance which plays not only with the idea of lecture-performance as a musicological extension of history, narrative, and academic performance-composition Within, Outside, and Beside Itself: The Architecture of the CFA also addresses how the presenta- tion of knowledge is linked to the production of knowledge through performance. I believe that creating space for new connections through creative presentation and alternative methodologies can both foster new arenas for discussion and coordinate existing relationships between academia and the outside world. A critique regarding how the Center for the Arts at Wesleyan University func- tions as an academic institution, as well as its physical role as the third teacher, my lecture performance playfully harmonizes texts from art historians at Wesleyan University, archaeologists, critical theorists, YouTube transcriptions, quotes from the founder of the Reggio Emilia school, and medical journal articles about mirror neurons.

  • THE ALARM BIOGRAPHY 2019 on June 28Th 2019, the Alarm Will
    THE ALARM BIOGRAPHY 2019 On June 28th 2019, The Alarm will release ∑ Sigma exactly one year and one day from the re- lease of its prequel – ‘Equals’, which debuted to an array of positive reviews and chart positions all across the board. Intended as a sequel, ∑ Sigma takes up and carries forward the themes that have been ex- pressed since lead singer and songwriter Mike Peters was plunged into a deeply intense period of life, following a relapse from Leukaemia, while his wife Jules’, was also diagnosed and treated for Breast Cancer. The beginnings of ∑Sigma can be traced back to the origins that fostered Equals, a collection of songs that acted as a retrenchment of original values and a poignant reflection of the tough times the band and it’s fans have had to contend with in recent years. On June 27th 2018, and with The Alarm firing on all cylinders again, the band committed to a vast amount of live concerts in sup- port of the new music they had created, and with over 100 shows played, the emotional repercus- sions became clear for all to see, though the spirit of life-affirming optimism that fuelled every sin- gle show. “It's all there in the music of Equals and now ∑ Sigma,” says Mike. “I didn't set out to write about what we were going through. If there was any music in me, it was going to come out naturally, and that's what happened. I didn't have a guitar by my side as my wife was having surgery for breast cancer and I was navigating the uncharted waters of a clinical trial for a new cancer drug.
