President's Welcome PRESIDENT’S WELCOME Friends, Colleagues, and Students, Welcome to the 82nd Annual Mississippi Bandmasters Association State Band Clinic in Natchez. The other members of the MBA Executive Board and I hope that you will experience growth, new perspectives, and renewed aspirations for teaching and learning music in your community during this year’s clinic. I would like to wish all of the students in attendance a heartfelt congratulations on participating in this esteemed event. You represent the very best of the students from your band programs – I encourage you to take that sentiment to heart. Thousands of students have shared in this honor for the last 82 years. Many of you will meet friends this weekend that you will have throughout your life. Lastly, I encourage you to take this opportunity to enjoy making music with others and learning from some of the most outstanding teachers in our country. For members of our association, take the time to visit with the exhibitors and clinicians throughout the weekend. Take advantage of the clinics and presentations that are offered so that you may leave Natchez with new insights and perspectives that you can use with your students at home. Clinic is also a time to renew old friendships and foster new ones. I hope that veteran teachers will take the time to get to know those that are new to our profession and new teachers will seek out the guidance of those with more experience. To our guest clinicians, exhibitors, featured ensembles, and conductors we welcome you and hope that you will enjoy your time with us. We are grateful for your support to our state and our students through your teaching and encouragement. Thank you to the staff of the Natchez Convention Center, the Natchez Grand Hotel, the Natchez Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Natchez for hosting our clinic each year. Willie and Joyce Rigdon have served our association for thirty five years. During this time they have ensured that all of our students have had a place to stay, the clinicians and Executive Board were taken care of, and all of the logistical details for clinic each year were handled. This year Mr. and Mrs. Rigdon will be retiring and we want to offer our sincerest gratitude for their many years of service to the Executive Board and our association. I want to thank all of the members of the Mississippi Bandmasters Association and the Executive Board for the opportunity to serve the association. I am most grateful for the opportunity to have become friends with so many people throughout the state through the circumstance of serving on the board. Lastly, I would like to thank my friends and colleagues at Oak Grove and Northwest Rankin who supported me throughout my time on the board. It is truly an honor to have been able to serve the Mississippi Bandmasters Association. I hope that you all have an outstanding experience here in Natchez and that you have a safe and happy holiday season!

  • L&Rsquo;Ex-Chanteur Des Tears for Fears Explique Son Choix Des Creative Commons
    L’ex-chanteur des Tears for Fears explique son choix des Creative Commons Il y a ceux qui se morfondent à constater la crise actuelle de l’industrie musicale et qui croient naïvement que la loi Hadopi[1] va résoudre leurs problèmes. Et puis il y a les autres, comme le chanteur Curt Smith, qui nous explique calmement et sereinement en quoi les licences Creative Commons sont un choix contemporain simple et pertinent, pour ne pas dire « naturel », quand on souhaite autoriser la diffusion de sa musique sous certaines condition (ici la non exploitation commerciale). Curt Smith (à ne pas confondre avec Robert Smith) ne vous dira peut-être rien, mais certains vieux (comme moi) se souviennent de son groupe Tears for Fears dont les quelques chansons suivantes bercèrent la jeunesse new wave des années quatre- vingts : Mad Word, Change, Shout ou encore Sowing the seeds of love. Depuis Curt Smith[2] poursuit une carrière solo et a donc placé son dernier album Halfway, pleased sous licence Creative Commons By-Nc-Sa. Il s’en explique dans cette interview vidéo donnée le mois de novembre dernier sur le site de Dave Harris RetroRewind. La clarté de ses propos associée au climat tendu que fait régner la « menace Hadopi » nous ont donné envie de faire acte de résistance et de subversion en traduisant et sous-titrant[3] ci-dessous le début de l’entretien. —> La vidéo au format webm Notes [1] La loi Hadopi, rebaptisée « Création et Internet », devrait arriver à l’Assemblée nationale fin février. Nous vous suggérons deux sites pour suivre son hacktualité et mieux en décrypter ses tenants et aboutissants : La Quadrature du Net et Numerama.
