Today is April 25, 2001, and we are in Washington DC. This interview is being conducted under the auspices of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. Harry, let-s begin at the beginning. Could you tell me when and where you were born and something about your family. BARNES: , was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, the 0th of 9une .926. My parents came from the Midwest. My mother from southeastern ,owa and my father from the Minnesota5 North Dakota border. They met at the Uni ersity of Wisconsin. My fatherKs work was in the area of what at the time was called motor equipment3 in effect what we would call now, , suppose, road building equipment. He then mo ed to the automobile retail business and from there to the battery business. My mother, somewhat unusual for the time, also went into business, this is the mid5L31s, and ran a coffee shop for people working in that particular area of St. Paul. Then we mo ed to upstate New (ork outside of Buffalo in the early .9I1s. This was in conjunction with the battery business that my father was then in, and then mo ed back to St. Paul again with the same firm. , did my schooling in public schools in St. Paul. ": Let-s tal0 a bit about St. Paul. 1ou were sort of becoming aware just about the time of the 3reat Depression, weren-t you. BARNES: No, a little later actually. Because, not that the Depression was o er by mid5 L31s, but it was not what it was earlier. No, , donKt ha e a sense as , was growing up of what people told me about the Depression. Of course, my family was employed and, in those days, it really made the difference. ": In St. Paul, where did you go to school. BARNES: , went to the neighborhood school in the area of St. Paul we li ed in and went on to junior high school, also in St. Paul. Then my parents decided, so they told me, that , needed something more in the way of discipline and that took the form of sending me to a 6 pri ate school, in this case a parochial school, a Catholic school which was a military school for boys, as well and for the first year and a half of high school , went to St. Thomas Academy, part of St. Thomas College in St. Paul. ": While you were in grammar school and particularly those early years4t, were there any courses that sort of particularly intrigued you. What were your interests. BARNES: Nothing that is that clear to me now in terms of courses. My general feeling is that , enjoyed school, enjoyed learning, but one subject compared to another subject, no. What also intrigued me, which is was not a school acti ity was what my father would tell me from the trips he took in conjunction with his business, this is particularly the road building type things and he used to bring me back brochures or maps that told something about where he had been in the Midwest. The second aspect as , recall, and maybe this has some rele ance, my motherKs family was German in origin andM ": What was her name. BARNES: Poehler was on her motherKs side and her fatherKs side was Blaul. We as children would go with my parents to my motherKs mother, my grandmotherKs place in Southeastern ,owa, Burlington 5 , donKt know3 my grandfather had died before , was born 5 for Christmas3 and part of Christmas was a set of German traditions. ": 1ou had the Christmas tree with candles on it. BARNES: (es, and certain Christmas foods. We were a fairly numerous number of cousins. How much of our traditions, like gathering together at the top of the stairs and coming down by age, the stocking tradition is specifically German, , am not sure but , think probably some of them were. German Christmas carols, for e8ample. , had an aunt who was a singer and had some of her training in Germany and introduced me to opera through recordings, at that point so that was again something beyond the immediate situation. ": How many brothers and sisters do you have. BARNES: Two brothers, , was the oldest of three and just to jump ahead a bit, both ha e ended up being uni ersity professors. 9ust to continue on the opera, , think it was because of the aunt and later began always to make sure that , listened to the Saturday afternoon Met performance that was on the radio. ": Who sponsored that. 7 BARNES: Te8aco. They still do and , remember my parents taking me to the St. Paul opera from time to time as , was growing up. When , went into high school, of course, there what particularly intrigued me was Latin. , had a priest as a teacher and , still remember his name, as a matter of fact. He made Latin seem interesting and sort of fun too. ": Well, languages5 you have a reputation for languages. Is this the first language. BARNES: ThatKs the first language, yes. ": How about 3erman. BARNES: German, really bits and pieces because of the family traditions.

  • Factors Influencing Non-Music Majors' Decisions to Participate
    FACTORS INFLUENCING NON-MUSIC MAJORS' DECISIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGIATE BANDS A DISSERTATION IN Music Education and Curriculum and Instruction Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by JENNIFER ANN MODER BME, The University of Illinois, 2001 MME, Illinois State University, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 © 2013 JENNIFER ANN MODER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FACTORS INFLUENCING NON-MUSIC MAJORS' DECISIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGIATE BANDS Jennifer Ann Moder, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT William Revelli stated that perhaps one of the greatest weaknesses of our school band programs is that, for the majority of the students, active participation ceases upon the day of graduation from our high schools. Music educators should strive to motivate all students, regardless of degree path, toward lifelong music making. After high school, many students do not pursue music as a major yet decide to participate in a collegiate ensemble. It seems relevant to investigate the influences behind these choices. The purpose of this study was to determine what factors contributed to a non-music major’s decision to participate in their collegiate band(s). An email soliciting student participation was sent to college band directors through the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA). The 17-question electronic survey included an open-ended response, a 7-point Likert-type scale investigating factors that influenced their decision to participate in a collegiate ensemble, and demographic information. Participants (N = 2,933) were students enrolled at 95 colleges and universities from 37 states.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School ORAL HISTORIES OF WOMEN INSTRUMENTALISTS IN COLLEGE MARCHING BANDS POST-TITLE IX A Dissertation in Music Education by Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson © 2021 Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2021 ii The dissertation of Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson was reviewed and approved by the following: Linda C. Thornton Professor of Music Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Graduate Program Chair for Music Education Darrin H. Thornton Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Outreach Teaching Professor of Music Charles D. Youmans Professor of Musicology Jaime Schultz Professor of Kinesiology iii ABSTRACT Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act was passed in 1972. This legislation prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender in publicly funded educational institutions, including all colleges and universities in the United States. In the public arena, Title IX has become synonymous with the fight for equality for women in sport; however, its positive effects for equality for women were farther reaching. Women in higher education gained unprecedented access to academic and social circles on college campuses. The rights granted by Title IX to women that permitted participation alongside men in college marching bands in the 1970s is an area that has virtually been absent from the research. The purpose of this study was to investigate and record the experiences of the first women instrumentalists to participate in collegiate marching bands in the post- Title IX era. I drew on a subject-oriented oral history methodology with a historical basis in the second wave feminist moment.

  • Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation
    1 The American Bandmasters Association Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation Recipients of the Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation Victor William Zajec (Chicago, IL, March 4, 1923 - Homewood, IL, January 26, 2005) Compiled by Victor W. Zajec, 1998 Maintained by Raoul F. Camus, ABA Historian 2 THE EDWIN FRANKO GOLDMAN MEMORIAL CITATION Edwin Franko Goldman (1878-1956), founder and conductor of the Goldman Band of New York City, was also the founder (1929), first President (1930-1932), and second Honorary Life President of The American Bandmasters Association (1933-1956). Shortly after Goldman’s death, the ABA sought ways to honor the memory of the man who was such an integral part of its beginnings. ABA President Otto J. Kraushaar charged the Special Citation Committee to “prepare recommendations whereby the Association could formally recognize certain persons outside the membership of ABA for outstanding services to the band movement in America.” The committee’s report was received in 1962. At the same time, the Goldman Memorial Committee was considering a suitable memorial that would recognize the contributions of the ABA founder. Both committees agreed jointly to recommend, for consideration by the ABA Board of Directors and the ABA past presidents, that The Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation be established. In addition to honoring Goldman’s memory, the purpose of the award is to provide recognition to those outside the membership of The American Bandmasters Association (ABA) who have rendered conspicuous service in the interest of bands and band music in America. The first Citation was presented to Harry Guggenheim, sponsor of the Goldman Band concerts, at a concert on the Mall in the Guggenheim Memorial Band Shell, New York, on July 20, 1963.
