News Editor Kevin Zhong, IV Asst. News Editor Alice Han, II Forum Editor Jack Trapanick, II Forum Editor Cinly Mo, III Asst. Forum Editor Michelle Wang, V Asst. Forum Editor Alessandra Woo, V Asst. Forum Editor Irene Deng, III A&E Editor As annual tradition dictates, each new pair of EiCs takes on the responsibility (burden?) of overseeing Ellis Seul, III A&E Editor the production of the Argo’s Graduation Issue. We vividly recall our perception of this role as admirable, and even alluring, to our ambitious sixie selves — three weeks of constant duress later, it seems that our attitude Kelsey Chen, II Asst. A&E Editor may have slightly changed. Maggie Olson, II Asst. A&E Editor Taking on the behemoth known as Grad Issue seems less like wading into the shallow end of the pool as it does being thrown into a bonfire head-first. It’s a world of kill or be killed (by Layout, who will actually Lilah Gutlerner, II Sports Editor do so if we ignore their texts any longer than we already have). Given all this, it would be an absolute travesty if we didn’t credit our terrific staff of editors, writers Shane Sullivan, II Sports Editor and associates for helping us accomplish this Herculean task. To our News, Forum, A&E and Sports Editors, Lauren Choy, III Asst. Sports Editor thank you for churning out article after article even in light of less-than-ideal circumstances. Thank you to Copy for deleting all of our Oxford commas (still not sure why that’s an Argo convention) and dealing with Darren Seto, III Copy Editor the NINE late spotlights. Thank you Photo for miraculously editing more than 70 photos in about a week (we’re still sorry!), and thanks again to Layout, because without their hours upon hours of toiling, the paper Fiona Yuan, IV Copy Editor you are holding in your hands (or reading on your screen) would not exist. Justine Wei, III Asst. Copy Editor Now, onto our demonstrations of gratitude for the soon-to-be gone alums, leaving us for the raucous, hectic, post-pubescent dimension known as college. Emma Lu, II Layout Editor John, Emily and Esther, thanks for all of your continued efforts as our fantastic Newsies in spite of senioritis (which Aidan still holds a grudge over). Also, John, you owe Elizabeth half of a lava cake. Selina Tang, III Layout Editor Next, onto Forum, which Jasmine and Alice headed so excellently. We’ll miss you both, and we certainly Theresa Huang, II Asst. Layout Editor expect frequent visits (not just for the sake of stealing our food). To Anna, A&E will feel incomplete without your motherly presence. Please don’t forget about us even Jenny Chen, IV Asst. Layout Editor though you’ll be exactly 3,083.5 miles away (Elizabeth is feeling a little lost without you already). Last, but certainly not least, in our Writing Sections, Sports! To the Ashleys and Eric, shoutout for the Regina Chiem, II Photo Editor phenomenal job you’ve all done in manning the section during a not-too-sporty time within the world. Mary Bosch, III Photo Editor Production Alums! Even though we both came out of Writing Sections, we now know that y’all are the backbone of our oft fragile club. Farewell to our forever iconic Copy duo, Alice and Cindy. No words can Karen Dong, III Asst. Photo Editor do justice to how much we’ll feel your absence. Farewell to Andre, whose photography talents and sass will certainly be missed. Farewell to our one-and-only Layout Father, Eric. And finally, to our beloved, retired EiCs, Nadine and Julie, what will we do without you? Thank you for Copy Associates all of the time, effort and dedication that you’ve put into the Argo, especially during a year as unprecedented as last. Please never stop replying to our last-minute Production Week questions, even if they come up next Ziqi Zhen (II) Kevin Zhong (IV) year as you’re both across the Charles. We’ll miss you both so much. Now, without further ado, we present to you 60 pages of blood, sweat and tears. We hope you enjoy it :).

Over the course of the conversation, Wu mentioned her goals for addressing racism, emphasizing that the increase in racially charged violence has caused many people of color (POC) to worry about their safety. She hopes to not only address Bos- ton’s racial issues in the short-term, first by maximizing resources to reduce the hesitation of students of color returning in-school, but also to continue in the long- term. Wu explains, “Communities are be- ing marginalized and face violence on a daily basis that long predates COVID-19. [...] And so, this is a way to speak out, to build infrastructure, and organize across the communities to end racism.” The infrastructure and plans to Jim Davis which Wu refers to consists of increasing Michelle Wu campaigns all over Boston in hopes to win votes. access to affordable housing and expand- ing citizen voice in city budgeting, as well remove the fares for public transportation. these policies, [and] have led every major women.

  • The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents
    THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA WHAT IS AN ORCHESTRA? Student Learning Lab for The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family ...................... 3 PART 2: Let’s Listen to Nagoya Marimbas ...................... 6 PART 3: Music Learning Lab ................................................ 8 2 PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family An orchestra consists of musicians organized by instrument “family” groups. The four instrument families are: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Today we are going to explore the percussion family. Get your tapping fingers and toes ready! The percussion family includes all of the instruments that are “struck” in some way. We have no official records of when humans first used percussion instruments, but from ancient times, drums have been used for tribal dances and for communications of all kinds. Today, there are more instruments in the percussion family than in any other. They can be grouped into two types: 1. Percussion instruments that make just one pitch. These include: Snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, wood block, gong, maracas and castanets Triangle Castanets Tambourine Snare Drum Wood Block Gong Maracas Bass Drum Cymbals 3 2. Percussion instruments that play different pitches, even a melody. These include: Kettle drums (also called timpani), the xylophone (and marimba), orchestra bells, the celesta and the piano Piano Celesta Orchestra Bells Xylophone Kettle Drum How percussion instruments work There are several ways to get a percussion instrument to make a sound. You can strike some percussion instruments with a stick or mallet (snare drum, bass drum, kettle drum, triangle, xylophone); or with your hand (tambourine).

What is the commonal- ity among all three? The expectation that a sense of school spirit may be resuscitated from them. Our Purple Knights seem to be paraded in every corner of this college—at our pep rallies, club-sponsored events, and in the corner of the ring, cheering on our athletes. Yet, despite our conspicu- ous attempts, something continues to plague the morale of our student body. Many complain that a lack of school spirit persists, ready to enter the lackluster vacuums left behind by our soccer games and annual Harvest-Fests. What could be the culprit of such a lifeless phenomenon? “No one attends the games,” states Enea Groballi, a Senior. “…not a lot of short term entertainment options,” John Reis, a Junior in Graphic Design. Despite this, our student body is actively desiring such an enthusiastic school atmosphere. Indeed, our lack Photo from 2010 “Spirit Week” spring semester. of school spirit is feeding on itself, sapping our motiva- tion to parade the purple and white while drowning out Even our mascot has a lot edge and wisdom, without What you are read- the ephemeral spirit that once fueled our pep rallies and of meaning behind it if you this we lack technique; this ing now is the brandishing school dances.

Minya Oh: Hey everybody, my name is Minya Oh. I'm also known as Miss Info. Welcome to everybody watching, this is Social Studies. And I just want to shout out Angelo and Shaniqwa for inviting us to have this conversation today, and I guess it's obvious that we're going to talk about being Asian-American and all of the complex and beautiful things that are involved in that identity. I have some incredible people with me, new friends, old friends and so if you guys can just introduce yourselves, one by one, that would be great. Julie Won: Minya, aren't you're going to introduce yourself a little bit too? Minya Oh: Oh, shit. Okay. Are we allowed to curse by the way? Yes. Okay, so I'll go first. As I mentioned, my aka is Miss Info, I was on Hot 97 for many years and before that, and forever I will be a hip-hop journalist.
