We believe that aesthetic education through instrumental music performance is essential to the school curriculum. Our mission is to provide educational leadership to the membership of the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association. To fulfill our mission, we provide opportunities for professional growth through developmental resources. These resources include: conferences, clinics, publications, performance evaluation, association with institutions of higher learning and interaction with professional musicians. We provide enrichment opportunities which present outstanding student musicians as models for all instrumental programs. We also provide resources to assist with the development and/or evaluation of curriculum should it be requested by a school or district. • SCSBOA sponsors band, orchestra, solo and ensemble, district and regional festivals. • We select and train approved adjudicators for band, orchestra, solo and ensemble festivals and for parade and field event competitions. • SCSBOA maintains a continuing program to evaluate and update the adjudication forms being used for band and orchestra festivals and competitions. • We sponsor clinics and workshops for in-service training of teachers of instrumental music. • SCSBOA sponsors the SCSBOA High School Honor Groups, the SCSBOA Middle School Honor Groups, the SCSBOA Elementary Honor Groups, and the SCSBOA Honor Jazz Ensembles. 1937 1937…the first Social Security payments in the U.S. were issued; Daffy Duck made his debut; U.S. steel workers were given a raise to $5 per day; NBC created the first full-size symphony orchestra for radio audiences; Joe Dimaggio hit his first grand slam. America continued to reel from the effects of the Great Depression, and the Dust Bowls of the Great Plains forced thousands of families to seek shelter and work far from their homesteads and families. Yet, on the campus of Los Angeles Junior College, fifteen music educators came together to create what would become the premiere music organization in California, the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association. As a member of the SCSBOA, you are a recipient of their dream! The first honor band was created in 1937, made up of high school students from Southern California and within a year, solo and ensemble festivals as well as band and orchestra festivals became the priority of the SCSBOA’s Board of Directors. Their vision was clear: creating a viable list of music to be used for festival and sightreading; developing a qualified judging pool; determining which grade levels would be eligible for festival participation. By the end of 1939, these visions were in fact realities and again, the Board of Directors, along with a growing membership pushed forward with new goals. The Board of Directors introduced the first Southern California high school honor orchestra concert broadcast on nationwide radio and a “Three-Month Plan” where elementary, junior high and high school music education was the focus, culminating in a conference type meeting held every three months for specific grade levels. The Board of Directors continued to push forward with new ideas and dreams never accepting that the job was complete. While the marching band movement has gained tremendous popularity, festivals continue to grow as well. Major changes to the by-laws have been instituted throughout the past eighty years. New scoring systems have been introduced and coordinators hired to assist with the ever-growing needs of the SCSBOA. These changes have kept the SCSBOA in existence for over eighty years. We keep growing and moving forward! Little could the original fifteen gentlemen of the first SCSBOA have known that eighty one years later, music and its educational components encompass far more than band and orchestra, drums and violins. From garage bands to computerized and technologically oriented compositions, music and all its facets have evolved tremendously. Yet, it’s not so much about the parades, field events or festivals, but more about the journey the SCSBOA continues to take because of the vision. Each generation, Board of Directors and Music Educator brings a new energy and goals to those dreams from 1937. That energy has made the SCSBOA the standard bearer not only in Southern California but nationwide. Be part of the vision – you matter.

Since 1937, the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association has been promoting and supporting music students and educators. As our vision statement indicates, we believe that aesthetic education through instrumental music performance is essential to the school curriculum. Our vision is to provide educational leadership to the membership of the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association. I am proud to say that we continue to do what the SCSBOA set out to do 81 years ago. The SCSBOA originated as a way for local Los Angeles music educators to come together and discuss ways to improve classroom instruction. Today our Association has over thirteen hundred members and offers professional development plus performances for students in the area of festivals, parades, tournaments and honor groups. The influence of the SCSBOA can be seen in countless music rooms throughout Southern California and beyond. Your presence today makes you part of our history and the proud tradition that is the SCSBOA. We invite you to embrace and continue to support our organization and its mission to ensure that we continue to enrich the cultural environment by helping all students develop a greater appreciation of music. A special thank you to NAMM, Yamaha, Make Music, Music & Arts, the Hyatt Regency Orange County, and our vendors for being the presenting sponsors at this year’s conference. I am sure many of you believe as I do that we are living the dream as music educators. It is said that if you love your work, you will never work a day in your life. I am not so sure about that, but I do know that there is no place I would rather be than here today with you, the people that do what I do and understand all we do and sacrifice to enrich people’s lives each and every day. Cherish this gathering together, take home inspirational ideals, and strive to make each day the best teaching day of your life.

    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

  • DOC SEVERINSEN Bio Conductor/Trumpeter
    DOC SEVERINSEN BIO Conductor/Trumpeter Heeeeere’s Johnny!” That lead-in, followed by a big band trumpet blast, was the landmark of late night television for three de- cades. The ‘Johnny’ was Johnny Carson, the announcer was Ed McMahon and the bandleader was Doc Severinsen. Beginning in October 1962, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson ruled the night air for thirty years. On May 22, 1992, it came to an end… Within a week of the final telecast, Doc Severinsen and His Big Band were on the road, and to this day, audiences across America love and respect Doc and his big band, not just because he shared their living room with them for so many years, but because of Doc’s love of the Big Band repertoire. His musicianship keeps this iconic American music fresh to this day. Their repertoire includes Ellington and Basie standards, pop, jazz, ballads, big band classics and, of course, The Tonight Show theme. Severinsen can still blow hard with his horn, and hit the high notes, a result of his continued commitment to the practice studio and the refinement of his craft. But as a band leader, Doc continues to surround himself with the best in the business, and he’s only too happy to give them a turn in the spotlight. A Grammy award winner, Doc has made more than 30 albums–from big band to jazz-fusion to classical. Two critically acclaimed Telarc CDs with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra showcase his multifaceted talents from Bach to ballads. The Very Best of Doc Severinsen reprises fifteen of Doc’s signature pieces.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.
