I am entering my sophomore year at Kansas State University in the College of Business. I recently Camille P. Hamilton, Vice President changed my major to Finance with a minor in Spanish Translations. I have had a great time in Manhattan going to school and still working at Chipotle. This year I have received the K-State Family Pin for volunteering at Turner High School earlier in February. I am super excited to have the opportunity this Welcome summer to travel abroad to Paraguay to participate in community service in Kumba Kua, by teaching English at a local elementary school. My advice for you is to go out and get involved! Look for clubs and opportunities that interest you and talk to anyone. This will make your college experience 10x better by being able to get away from school work for a little bit. Remember to stay on top of your work but at the Sumner Academy c/o 1996 Alumni Fund same time, make time for your interest and social time."

My advice: The sky isn't the limit. Don't let anyone talk you out of your dreams because deep down, you're the only one who truly knows what you want and what's best for you. College is the only time where you are allowed to be an adult without necessarily having adult responsibilities so $300 Awardees take advantage of it.” Caleb Brown (Sumner Academy) KARLA RINCON Malik Jenkins (Sumner Academy) High School: Schlagle High School College: University of Missouri– Kansas City (UMKC)- Kansas City, MO $250 Awardees “I am currently studying architecture.

Hamilton Awardee College: Kansas State University- Manhattan, KS Eric Terrazas (Sumner Academy) “It's also not easy to give general advice that isn't nuanced. It's easy to discuss advice in terms of mistakes I've made (i.e. make sure to file online paperwork to receive the aid associated with the FAFSA as soon as possible), but I Georgia Brantley (Sumner Academy) suppose that if I were to make a general piece of advice, it'd be this: There are going to be challenges, especially academic; embrace them as best you can, or at least don't let them get you down. Nearly anyone can be successful in Jesus Granados (Harmon High School) nearly any field if they work hard enough, so pick one that provides you with challenges that you enjoy facing, with satisfying resolutions -- for me so far, that's been math and physics as they're applied to circuitry, and logic as it's applied to code. Wish this year's recipients the best of luck in their endeavors! The scholarship fund is a really great thing, I hope it continues to touch individuals' lives as it did mine for years to come.” KEYNOTE SUAN SONNA Anjail Weaver-Belton, United States Navy (Ret.)/Pastry Chef High School: Sumner Academy College: Kansas State University– Manhattan, KS Sumner Academy c/o 1996 Alumni “I am currently a philosophy major and political science minor at Kansas State University.

  • Charris Efthimiou Metallica's Tone Colour Characteristics of Their Riffs
    Charris Efthimiou Metallica’s Tone Colour Characteristics of their Riffs (1983–1986) and the Differences between Slayer and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Annotation The aim of this article is to consider the design of the riffs of Angel of Death and other songs from the first three albums by Slayer (Show No Mercy 1983, Hell Awaits 1985 and Reign in Blood 1986) from a music analytical point of view (including tone-colour analysis of the riffs). If Slayer’s riff design (from 1983 to 1986) is considered from an overall perspective, the following results can be observed: • A rapid tempo and a constant change in the tone-colours of the guitar (palm mute, powerchords and monophonic melodies) characterise the sound of most riffs from the first three albums of this band. • Although the number of tone colours is limited, exact repetitions of tone colours are avoided. • Melodies in thirds, sixths and octaves are rare. At the same time (1983–1986) and in the same geographic area (U.S. West Coast), the band Metallica found their own compositional path within the thrash metal genre. Although the two bands dedicate their songs to very different topics, there are significant proximity points in the section of riff design. The same music-analytical methods (such as the analysis of tone- colours) are used with Metallica again. Thus, on the one hand, correlations can be determined and special features unique with Slayer’s music can be highlighted on the other. Furthermore, in order to determine other similarities and differences, the riffs of Metallica and Slayer will be compared with riffs by bands belonging to the NWoBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) and were active in the years 1983–1986 (including Iron Maiden and Motörhead).

  • Viking Interview: Q&A with Jamey Jasta by Daniel Offner When
    Viking Interview: Q&A with Jamey Jasta By Daniel Offner When uttered, the name “Hatebreed” brings many things to mind, but what stands out most is the vocal talent of Jamey Jasta. Jasta, along with band mate Chris Beattie, founded the band in 1994 out of New Haven, Connecticut. Jasta is not only the lead singer of Hatebreed but has also gone off to do successful side projects with bands Icepick and Kingdom of Sorrow. He has also gone off to host MTV’s reincarnation of the 80’s hit program Headbanger’s Ball. This year Jamey will be touring with both Hatebreed (on the Jagermeister Music Tour) and Kingdom of Sorrow (at Ozzfest in Texas). The following is my Viking Interview with Jamey Jasta. Viking News: Where did the name Hatebreed come from? Jamey Jasta: “From the Misfits song ‘Hatebreeders’. We just took off the ‘e-r- s’.” VN: What inspired you guys to play music? JJ: “Well I think when me and (Chris) Beattie started the band we were already in other bands, and the other bands fizzled out. So to start this band and to play this music the inspiration was to do something bigger and better and more focused. But I think initially for both of us we were just drawn to music because of the community in itself.” VN: What type of bands influenced your style of music as a whole? JJ: “I would say bands like Slayer, Sepultura, Obituary, Entombed and more metal stuff like Carcass. On the hardcore side Agnostic Front, Killing Time, Sheer Terror, Integrity, Earth Crisis and bands like that.” VN: You mentioned Agnostic Front, which is playing the Dour Festival with you guys in Belgium.

Engleskog jezika i književnosti, OŠ “Branko Radičević” Negotin Negotin, aprila 2013. godine 1 Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………3 Summary…………………………………………………………………………………..4 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………..5 Metal music………………………………………………………………………………..6 Sub-genres of Heavy Metal……………………………………………………………….10 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………...15 2 Abstract Metal is a movement of music that started essentially with the heavy rock movements. While there was not actual metal during that time, bands were experimenting with heaviness, and it was no surprise that the first metal band (Black Sabbath) was soon to be born. Metal music is a worldwide form of music that has held the attention of younger generations for over 50 years. Metal music has branched off into different sub genres, but one thing is the main motivator for the survival of metal music through all the generations. That is a need for younger generations to rebel against the status quo, to express themselves and their frustration of an outdated way of life. This paper presents the development of metal music from the 1960s to the present day, with special emphasis on some of the metal sub-genre of music. Originally, metal was one genre. But as time passed more genres were born. Today metal is a global movement and has hundreds of sub-genres such as Heavy, Death, Black, Doom, Power, Thrash, Speed, Folk, Industrial, Symphonic, Gothic & Nu-Metal, to name just a few. They range from sheer brutality to smooth and melodic rhythms.

  • Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal *
    Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal * Stephen S. Hudson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.1/mto.21.27.1.hudson.php KEYWORDS: Heavy Metal, Formenlehre, Form Perception, Embodied Cognition, Corpus Study, Musical Meaning, Genre ABSTRACT: This article presents a new framework for analyzing compound AABA form in heavy metal music, inspired by normative theories of form in the Formenlehre tradition. A corpus study shows that a particular riff-based version of compound AABA, with a specific style of buildup intro (Aas 2015) and other characteristic features, is normative in mainstream styles of the metal genre. Within this norm, individual artists have their own strategies (Meyer 1989) for manifesting compound AABA form. These strategies afford stylistic distinctions between bands, so that differences in form can be said to signify aesthetic posing or social positioning—a different kind of signification than the programmatic or semantic communication that has been the focus of most existing music theory research in areas like topic theory or musical semiotics. This article concludes with an exploration of how these different formal strategies embody different qualities of physical movement or feelings of motion, arguing that in making stylistic distinctions and identifying with a particular subgenre or style, we imagine that these distinct ways of moving correlate with (sub)genre rhetoric and the physical stances of imagined communities of fans (Anderson 1983, Hill 2016).

Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Campbell Law Review by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Repository @ Campbell University School of Law. Hampton: The Need for a New Slayer Statute in North Carolina THE NEED FOR A NEW SLAYER STATUTE IN NORTH CAROLINA* I. INTRODUCTION A forty-year-old woman drove her elderly mother to the doctor as she did every week. They were running behind schedule when the daughter briefly stopped at an intersection and looked for oncoming traffic. As the daughter pushed through the intersection, a truck struck her car on the passenger side. As a result of the accident, the woman's elderly mother died. Assuming her actions were negligent, should the daughter's failure to see the truck preclude her from inherit- ing from her mother as a natural object of her bounty? The common sense answer is no. The daughter did not intention- ally kill her mother. In fact, the daughter is fortunate that her negli- gence did not kill her. The mother probably would not wish to disinherit the daughter in light of the circumstances.

  • The Spiritual Temperature of Contemporary Popular Music REILLY
    The “Spiritual Temperature” of Contemporary Popular Music: An Alternative to the Legal Regulation of Death-Metal and Gangsta-Rap Lyrics Tracy Reilly* ABSTR ACT The purpose of this Article is to contribute to the volume of legal scholarship that focuses on popular music lyrics and their effects on children. This interdisciplinary cross-section of law and culture has been analyzed by legal scholars, philosophers, and psychologists throughout history. This Article specifically focuses on the recent public uproar over the increasingly violent and lewd content of death- metal and gangsta-rap music and its alleged negative influence on children. Many legal scholars have written about how legal and political efforts throughout history to regulate contemporary genres of popular music in the name of the protection of children’s morals and well-being have ultimately been foiled by the proper judicial application of solid First Amendment free-speech principles. Because the First Amendment prevents musicians from being held liable for their lyrics, and prevents the content of lyrics from being regulated, some scholars have suggested that the perceived problems with popular music lyrics could be dealt with by increasing public awareness and group action. * Assistant Professor of Law, University of Dayton School of Law, Program in Law & Technology, Dayton, Ohio. J.D., Valparaiso University School of Law, 1995; B.A., Northern Illinois University, 1990. The author would like to dedicate this Article to the loving memory of her first and best teacher, friend and mentor—her mother, Eileen Reilly. She would also like to thank her husband, Mark Budka, for his constant love and support; Kelly Henrici, Executive Director of the Program in Law & Technology, for her insightful comments and continuous encouragement; and Dean Lisa Kloppenberg and the University of Dayton School of Law for research support.

  • At the 12Th PRG Live Entertainment Awards - Udo Lindenberg to Rock the Frankfurt Festhalle on 3 April 2017
    “Keine Panik” (“Don’t Panic”) at the 12th PRG Live Entertainment Awards - Udo Lindenberg to rock the Frankfurt Festhalle on 3 April 2017 The President of Panic himself will be honouring the gala for the 12th PRG Live Entertainment Awards (LEAs) with his presence in the Frankfurt Festhalle on Monday 3 April: on the opulently-decorated stage, Udo Lindenberg will once again show that he is still playing in the Champions League of German rock music even after a five-decades-long career, with his energetic performance and breathtaking showmanship. The LEA audience will get a taster of his “Keine Panik” tour, with which the resident of Hamburg was able to fill the biggest venues and stadiums in Germany in 2016. Udo Lindenberg / picture Tine Acke Helmut Zerlett / picture Nadine Dilly Last year Lindenberg received an award from the LEA jury with his promoter and manager Roland Temme. Now he’s returning to Frankfurt for the Live Entertainment event. “We’re delighted that Udo likes the LEAs so much,” says Professor Jens Michow, CEO of the LEA Veranstaltungs GmbH events corporation and Executive Producer of the awards gala. “Our guests can look forward to a really special performance.” However, the German rock pioneer’s performance is only one highlight of the musical programme at the LEAs 2017, which are expected to attract 1,400 guests. Other musical performances will include Helmut Zerlette, who will grace the gala along with his band. And Max Giesinger and the break- dance group DDC will also take to the stage. LEAs meet Virtual Reality: live stream also available as a 360-degree 3D event This year, the organisers of the LEAs are blazing new pathways with their moving-image transmission of the event.
