CRAMER We are the Music-Makers We are the Dreamers of Dreams 2 The Iowa Bandmaster The Iowa Bandmaster 3 President’s Message By Myron Peterson 91st Annual IBA Conference – On A Mission (Part VIII) The aspiration of the 91st IBA Annual Conference – On A Mission – is to celebrate the first year of progress under our new mission statement, and to showcase many of the ways the mission is working in and around our community . Living life “On A Mission” often means we serve a myriad of missions in various parts of our lives . We serve the mission of our schools, our programs, our ensembles, our students, our organizations, our communities . We are at our best when we remember to serve our own personal mission, too. Just as IBA has focused and clarified its mission, we hope everyone’s journey through the 91st Annual IBA Conference will help rejuvenate and revitalize his/her personal mission in life – whatever that may be . Here are some points of interest from the 2018 Conference designed to inspire! Promoting Excellence in Bands Through: Performance Best wishes to these performing ensembles who are deep in preparation to share their inspiring work with us in May . Thank you for your tireless efforts . Des Moines Symphony Winds - Headline Concert Oak Ridge Middle School Band University of Northern Iowa Wind Ensemble South Hamilton Middle School Concert Band Northwestern College Symphonic Band IBA All-Iowa 8th Grade Honor Band Concert Linn-Mar High School Concert Band Center Point-Urbana 6th Grade Band Cedar Falls High School Jazz Band All-State Jazz Conductors Combo Grinnell High School Concert Band The All-Female Jazz Orchestra of Iowa Monticello High School Concert Band Central College Flying Pans Steel Band Nashua-Plainfield High School Concert Band Major Landers Solo Concert-Audition JEI - All-State Jazz Bands Concert (open to public) There are several additional performing groups joining the cause as demonstration groups, clinic bands, and lobby performers . Check them out in the “Conference Ensembles” section of the magazine . Composer James David is writing a new piece for piano and wind orchestra that will be premiered by the Des Moines Symphony Winds on Thursday, May 10 at 8:30 p m. This new work is inspired by Stuart Davis’s painting “Swing Landscape” (a worthy internet search), and among others is influenced by the great American composers Gershwin, Ellington, and Ives . Check out his compositions at www jamesmdavid. com. Professional Development Among the 68 professional development sessions presented at the 2018 Conference, consider highlighting one that is particularly unique – and is tailored to speak directly to each attendee . Dr. Karl Paulnack (keynote speaker) will present a 2-hour workshop designed to help maximize fulfillment in your life’s work professionally and personally . He will present this workshop three times so attendees may schedule it at a time that works . The synopsis: From the moment you were born, you had unique gut instincts . There were things you “knew” long before you were taught or learned to think; things that stick with you for life . The way you “play” as a child; how much “alone time” you need or want; the type of friends you choose; the work that interests you; how and whom you date; the physical exercise you like best; the spiritual practice that appeals to you; the type of living situation you prefer, what a “fun” vacation looks like–in short, all 4 The Iowa Bandmaster On A Mission – Part VII (continued) of the things that make you feel most fully alive, most joyful, most “you ”. Not only were the drivers present in you at birth–they can often be expressed in just five to seven words. This is a guided tour through your life, using storytelling, writing, shadow and gestalt work exercises to uncover, remember and honor the person you were born to be, and describe the original mission you came into the world with . This mission will manifest in every aspect of your life, and you will be professionally fulfilled if you are “on mission,” and perpetually dissatisfied if you are not. What drives you? What makes you passionate, fully alive? What is your mission, the unspoken mission you’ve been on since birth? What are your five to seven words? Give yourself the gift of a lifetime and plan to attend one of these sessions . Mentorship IBA has a robust system for mentorship of new teachers . It should be, and is, the envy of other organizations . But what about those of us who are not-so-new teachers? Patrick Kearney and Brad Lampe (IBA Past Presidents) are music educators who currently serve in teacher leadership roles in their districts . Their session “Sharpening the Saw: Finding Value in Coaching and Building a Network,” will offer music educators ways in which they can utilize instructional coaches, mentors, and other available support systems in their classrooms . Advocacy There will be several sessions designed to empower and equip attendees with tools to advocate for their programs at the grass roots level . These two are highlighted for careful consideration: John Mlynczak - Education Policy and Advocacy: What can we do? ESEA used to be nicknamed NCLB but is now ESSA with updates to Titles I-IV but no more core . What about CCSS and how does this affect our PGPs, SLTs, or SLOs? Do your students take PARCC or SAT or ACT or local EOCs? More IMPORTANTLY, how do we teach more music to more students and advocate for music education in today’s policy landscape? John Mlynczak will break down education policy into an easy-to- understand manner and provide tools for advocating for music education in your home town . Rodney Pierson - Building an Instrument Replacement Plan It is up to you to draw a clear, simple picture of the organization you wish to build . This clinic will provide you with a specific step-by-step plan proven to be effective with planning, managing and advocating for the maintenance and replacement of your program’s instruments and equipment . For nearly 30 years Rod has supported music programs of all sizes and means . He will deliver useful tools that, in the end, will provide a more stable inventory for students and also position you as an organized steward of the school’s resources with your administrators . In subsequent pages of the magazine, please find opportunities to earn credit for attending the conference. Thanks to IBA Past Presidents, Liz Fritz and Myron Welch for coordinating two options for conference credit .

Black US Army bands and their bandmasters in World War I Peter M. Lefferts This essay sketches the story of the bands and bandmasters of the twenty seven new black army regiments which served in the U.S. Army in World War I. They underwent rapid mobilization and demobilization over 1917-1919, and were for the most part unconnected by personnel or traditions to the long-established bands of the four black regular U.S. Army regiments that preceded them and continued to serve after them. Pressed to find sufficient numbers of willing and able black band leaders, the army turned to schools and the entertainment industry for the necessary talent.

  • The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting

    The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting

    Theory of Conducting – Chapter 1 The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting In a changing culture and a society that adopts and discards values (or anti-values) with a speed similar to that of fashion as related to dressing or speech, each profession must find out the roots and principles that provide an unchanging point of reference, those principles to which we are obliged to go back again and again in order to maintain an adequate direction and, by carrying them out, allow oneself to be fulfilled. Orchestral Conducting is not an exception. For that reason, some ideas arise once and again all along this work. Since their immutability guarantees their continuance. It is known that Music, as an art of performance, causally interlinks three persons: first and closely interlocked: the composer and the performer; then, eventually, the listener. The composer and his piece of work require the performer and make him come into existence. When the performer plays the piece, that is to say when he makes it real, perceptive existence is granted and offers it to the comprehension and even gives the listener the possibility of enjoying it. The composer needs the performer so that, by executing the piece, his work means something for the listener. Therefore, the performer has no self-existence but he is performer due to the previous existence of the piece and the composer, to whom he owes to be a performer. There exist a communication process between the composer and the performer that, as all those processes involves a sender, a message and a receiver.
