CENTER STAGE ON MONDAY
NIGHT. TONIGHTS SHOW
FEATURED SOME OF THE
MOST SKILLED PERFORMERS

DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM
PAUL SCEA DETAILS THE
VARIETY OF THE MUSIC
PERFORMED.
There were probably about six
distinct styles I say. We had
everything from bee-bop, to
fusion, to jam-bands, to country
tunes, there was a lot.

SCEA AND HIS COLLEAGUES

CONDUCTED EIGHT
DIFFERENT BANDS THAT
PERFORMED MUSIC FROM
SEVERAL GENERATIONS.
EACH BAND USED AN
ASSORTMENT OF
INSTRUMENTS THAT
RANGED FROM
XYLOPHONES TO ELECTRIC
GUITARS. THE VARIETY OF
MUSIC OFFERED IMPRESSED
MEMBERS IN THE AUDIENCE.
There were some good pieces
coming from old classics and then
there were some new pieces that
were written from our students and
I liked the mixture of instruments.
I loved the mandolin.
SCEA PLANS ON USING MORE
VARATION AND STUDENTPRODUCED MUSIC IN THE
FUTURE.

But jazz lovers will have to wait
as the program will take a hiatus
until February. A schedule of
events for next semester can be
found on the CACs website. Back
to you Joe./////////////////////////////////
