  • Engagement Report April 12, 2018 Table of Contents
    Engagement Report April 12, 2018 Table of Contents Introduction..............................................2 Our Approach............................................3 Overview of Outreach................................7 Business Feedback Metrics........................20 Media Coverage........................................26 Qualtrics Survey Results............................29 All Comments............................................44 1 Introduction Mayor Biskupski and the Salt Lake City Council sought feedback to better understand public perceptions of City service needs and potential funding mechanisms ahead of a Council vote on April 17, 2018. The City engaged in an extensive public outreach and engagement effort to collect feedback from residents, businesses and others with a stake in the future of Salt Lake City. The following report summarizes those outreach efforts and results. Vision The City’s goal is to remain a place where all people can live, work, and play in comfort and safety. By creating more affordable housing options and connecting residents and businesses to better transit and complete streets, Salt Lake City can improve air quality and create a more resilient City for generations to come. The Need Salt Lake City’s population is growing and is expected to keep growing. The economy is strong, and the amount of people who commute into the City each day to work, learn, be entertained and seek out services, like medical care, is increasing. Salt Lake City is also the hub for northern Utah’s tourism and convention services, which increase the strain on infrastructure and services. The City’s bright future could be dimmed without investing in critical public services and as such must identify appropriate funding mechanism to address current and future growth. The Opportunity Through years of thoughtful study, planning and public involvement, City Administration and Council staff have identified unfunded one-time and ongoing needs in the areas of street maintenance, affordable housing, transit and public safety.

  • 2021 Breeze Show Choir Catalog
    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 2/24/21) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples and cost) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** For songs that do not have vocal rehearsal tracks, these can be created for $150/song. To place an order, send an e-mail to [email protected] or submit a license request on Tresona listing Garrett Breeze as the arranger, Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Most SATB songs, for example, can be easily reworked for SAT. • Remember that show function is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing an arrangement. For example, if something is labelled in the catalog as a Song 2/4, it is probably not going to work as a closer.

  • 1 Hey Phoebe, You Once Said You Wanted to Read the Stuff I Write in The
    Hey Phoebe, You once said you wanted to read the stuff I write in the future. I think this is one of them. Or at least this is the sharing of my knowledge. I can only hope this helps you understand Istanbul a bit better. Welcome to Istanbul and happy birthday! All the sites and important things in this guide are capitalized. I have italicized the fun and interesting stuff. The guide is in separated into walks, because finding an exact address in Istanbul is really hard. You can only rely on other people giving you directions "go go go, take a left, take a second right etc.", so maybe this will be an authentic experience. The recommendations seem a lot but the walks will not take that long. If you are flying with Turkish Airlines that's great because they have good service. They are a private company, but they are also aligned with the government as a public image- they once sacrificed camels in front of a plane for a religious holiday and took a photo of it. For PR? Probably. But they have free alcohol! With entertainment! Like movies, which are edited in time and aspect ratio and content, and unedited music! They even have Wi-Fi on certain flights, so you can do whatever you want! I was thinking that you would read this tour guide in between your unintentional naps. They come in unexpected times, and it is very easy to give in. Anyhow. Apart from the ceremonial applauding of the pilot that only Turks and Italians share, the music they put on when you land used to be this welcoming music from this band İncesaz (check the playlist, I couldn't find the actual song so I opted out for a typical one.

    Lyrics for the Album "Never Go Back" by SeaStar 01 The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry – Traditional An earthly nourris sits and sings, And aye she sings, "Ba lily wean," Sayin', "Little ken I for my bairn's father, Far less the land that he sleeps in." Then he steps to her bedside, And a grumbly guest I'm sure was he, Saying "Here am I, your bairn's father, Although I am not comely be." Chorus I am a man upon the land, and I am a silkie in the sea, And when I'm far, far frae the strand, My dwelling is in Sule Skerry. Then he has taken his purse of gold and he has placed it upon her knee sayin, "Gie to me your wee, young son. And kindly take your nurse's fee. And it shall come to pass on a summer's day when the sun shines bright on every stone, it's then I will take my wee, young son and teach him how to swim in the foam." Chorus "And ye shall marry a proud gunner. And a proud gunner I'm sure he'll be. And the very first shot, that ere he takes will kill both your wee son and me." "Alas, alas," the young maiden did cry. "This weary fate's been laid on me." And then she said, and then she said, "I'll drown myself in Sule Skerry. For you are a man upon the land and you are a silkie in the sea. And when you are far, far frae the strand your dwelling is in Sule Skerry." Chorus 02 Hjarta og Eldur/ The Orkney Snow – Words and music by Fae Wiedenhoeft, ASCAP Oh, the wars hold on and the stars are dressed in red.
