Tonight’s Performing Ensembles

For over a century, the Auburn University Marching Band has captivated audiences across the nation with spectacular performances. Whether playing before the home crowd or away, the Auburn Band has attained a position of national distinction and a reputation for excellence second to none. Band members represent virtually every school and curriculum on the Auburn campus. The Auburn University Marching Band was the 2004 recipient of the Sudler Intercollegiate Marching Band Trophy.  Established by the John Philip Sousa Foundation, this award is presented annually to a bane “…which has made important contributions to the advancement of the performance standards of college marching bands over a number of years.”  This year’s band is the largest ever, with 380 members.

The Auburn University Chamber Choir is the newest choir in the music department. They are an auditioned group of 50 students representing voice majors and various other academic areas throughout the campus. Under the direction of Dr. William Powell, the Choral program has served Auburn University as ambassadors nationally and internationally.  The group’s repertoire consists mostly of moderate to advanced-level choral literature.

The Auburn University Steel Band is a part of the percussion program at Auburn University.  Membership is open to any Auburn student by audition. The Steel Band performs the traditional steel band music of Trinidad and Tobago, called calypso, as well as sambas from Brazil and other forms of Afro-Caribbean music. They appear frequently at a wide variety of university and community functions.

The Auburn University Symphonic Band is the premier performing ensemble in the Auburn Band program.  A select group of 65 players, the band performs a broad and diverse repertoire of standard and contemporary band literature along with occasional transcriptions. In recent years, they have performed numerous times for Alabama Bandmasters Association and Alabama Music Educators Association events, and have undertaken annual tours around the southeast.

The Auburn University Singers is an auditioned group of 36 singers and nine instrumentalists who provide choral entertainment. Now in its 39^th year and under the direction of Dr. Dale Farmer, the ensemble has performed for schools, churches, civic groups, and professional organizations around the world.

The Auburn University Jazz Ensemble is an auditioned group of about 20 members. The ensemble consists of saxophones, trumpets, trombones and a rhythm section. Auditions for the Jazz Ensemble take place at the start of each semester and are open to any and all students. The group performs both popular jazz standards and other jazz arrangements for many community and university functions.

Led by director of Choral Activities Dr. William Powell and his wife, Dr. Rosephanye Dunn Powell, the Auburn University Gospel Choir is an auditioned group ranging between 60 and 100 students representing many different academic areas throughout the university. The ensemble has been featured in performance at a variety of national venues, including the 2005 American Orff-Schulwerk Association and the 2006 Southwestern Division Convention of the American Choral Directors Association in St. Louis, Missouri.

It's been nearly 40 years since the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970. Founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson, it was established as a time for communities the world over, to recognize our deeper responsibility by minding our ways in caring for our natural resources. It was intended as a global reminder that The Earth is, essentially, our home... so let's all pitch in and do our part to promote clean and economical uses of energy and preserve our irreplaceable, natural resources. I don't think it's enough to simply think about recycling trash. It might be more to think about the freedoms we have here in this country to make the choices and make a difference--- even to the point of recycling some of our habitual ways of thinking. While recycling office equipment, plastics, glass and paper may seem insignificant on an individual level, I've observed that it can develop an increased sense of observation and listening to daily life, conversations and situations. I've observed the subtle growth that can expand a person's or a community's capacity to find peaceable resolutions.

In a land and country that continues to fight long and hard for its freedoms, we can learn that pursuits, even when driven by desperation, are optimized with opportunity--- an ever-present resource, especially in America. I suppose that is a miracle of the human quest, We just never know how close we might be to the next opportunity... to knowing a difference, to making a difference, to 'being' the difference.  "In my Father's house are many mansions"... In my Mother's heart are many doors... OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING...open a door today, for Mother Earth, for the world we live in.
