FROM THE EDITOR

will be the first one to admit I was a band geek in high school. And like many other geeks, I’m pretty proud of it. Not only was I in the band, but my senior year I was on band council. Before that year my teacher only had a band president, but in an effort to inspire higher morale and “togetherness,” he formed a council which included the president, a girl in charge of parties, a guy in charge of equipment and me in charge of ... deco-

rating. Party girl, equipment guy and I all had to form committees within the band and come up with projects for our members. My committee took charge of a bulletin board where we made a calendar for all band events and once a month we also gathered to cut out and design large paper creations (usually holiday-themed) to hang around the band room. During Homecoming week we participated in street painting and in December we also planned a class project to decorate and donate a Christmas tree to a family in need. So yeah, as nerdy as official Band Decorator sounds, we enjoyed ourselves and I’ll own that title completely. Oh, but

you’re welcome to either make fun of or adore the fact that my instrument — clarinet — rhymes with my name. The best thing about band, or any group, is the friendships. With music you realize each part is important and no piece is complete without everyone playing their hearts out. We went on trips and to festivals together and played at football and basketball games. My only wish is that my school had a marching band, or that I participated in USU’s for at least one year. Because whenever I see them play it makes me miss it all a little. Ah, the dweeby memories. — Manette Newbold

USU Wind Orchestra performs his music tonight

The Utah State University Wind Orchestra, under the direction of Thomas P. Rohrer, will perform its fall concert, “All For One, One For Fall,” tonight in the Kent Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s campus. The concert is a tribute to composer Percy Aldridge Grainger on the 50th anniversary of his death. A frequent concert pianist during the early 20th century, the Australian-born musician was a prolific composer of music for bands, although nearly all his music was arranged by him for various other chamber and large ensembles as well. Noted for his meticulous collection of English folk songs via early recording machines, Grainger transcribed these songs — the aural heritage of England — and set them for a variety of ensembles. The concert is highlighted by a performance of Grainger’s masterwork “Lincolnshire Posy,” a setting of six folk tunes written in 1937. The piece has become a landmark in the wind repertoire. Also included are “Scotch Strathspey and Reel,” “Mock Morris” and “Ye Banks and Braes O’Bonnie Doon.” The USU Wind Orchestra

is a 45-member ensemble of the finest wind and percussion players in the school playing contemporary wind music as well as time-tested

standards from the band repertoire. The USU Wind Orchestra performs three concerts in the fall and two concerts in the spring.

The ensemble has earned an outstanding reputation in the region by performing at the Utah Music Educators Convention and two performances in four years at the College Band Directors National Association Western/ Northwestern Division conference in Reno, Nev. The USU Bands’ upcoming schedule includes the annual “Sounds of the Stadium” marching band concert Saturday, Nov. 19, the Tri-State Band Symposium Sampler and finale concerts Dec. 2 and 3 and the holiday concert Dec. 4.

A tribute to Percy Aldridge Grainger

“War is really about the slaying of boys. It’s very grim and it’s very real. Every time I hear of another person lost in Iraq or Afghanistan, this is a real person with a mom and a dad and a wife and a child. The human toll is huge and this causes us to think. This piece is for them.”

The spellbinding artistry and the amazing athletics of the Golden Dragon Acrobats will thrill adults and children alike. “After three sellout performances in 2008, we are thrilled to be able to have the Golden Dragon Acrobats return for an encore,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “Their amazing artistry, beautiful costumes and props provide a visual feast for the entire family to enjoy. Your heart will sing and your palms will sweat.” “Juggling everything from umbrellas to soccer balls — and with props as varied as ladders and giant spinning wheels — the performers show why they’re world famous,” wrote the New York Post. “Whether bending their bodies into seemingly impossible positions or balancing each other in feats of incredible strength ... the company delivers beautifully choreographed routines showcasing their amaz-

ing skills and physicality, accompanied by a musical score of traditional Chinese music filtered through a New Age sensibility.” The world’s leading Chinese acrobatic troupe, the Golden Dragon Acrobats represent the best of a timehonored tradition that began more than 2,000 years ago. Direct from Hebei, China, the Golden Dragon Acrobats have thrilled audiences all over the world. The company’s reputation is solidly rooted in a commitment to

the highest of production values and an attention to artistic details that is unparalleled in the art form. World-renowned impresario Danny Chang and

choreographer Angela Chang combine award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes, ancient and contemporary music and theatrical tech-

niques to present a show of breathtaking skill and beauty. Danny Chang is the company’s founder, producer and director. He is one of the world’s leading promoters of Chinese acrobatics. Chang started his training at the age of 8 at his family’s acrobatics school in Taipai, Taiwan. Chang has received many awards including the esteemed Medal for International Faith and Goodwill by the Republic of China’s Coordination Council for North American Affairs. The ancient art of acrobatics has developed into one of China’s most popular art forms. As well as evolving into many forms of performance — dance, opera, martial arts and sports — acrobatics has served an important role in the cultural exchange between China and Western nations. Performing feats on chairs stacked 10 stories high, the troupe has traveled to all 50 states and to more than 65 countries on five continents. The Golden Dragons remain the only Chinese acrobatic company touring year-round in the U.S. For more information, visit www.goldendragonacrobats.com.

Museum of Anthropology looks at Buddhism Buddhism in Cache Valley is honored at the next “Saturdays at the Museum” activity at Utah State University. Presented by USU’s Museum of Anthropology in collaboration with a locallybased Buddhist Sangha, visitors to the museum can learn about the religion and way of life in activities Saturday, Nov. 5. A presentation titled “Enter-

ing the Silence: Buddhist Meditation and Mindfulness” is offered by meditation teacher and USU associate professor of English Michael Sowder at 11 a.m. at the museum. After the presentation, Sowder invites the public to participate in a meditation class. “Join us as we ‘enter the silence,’ learn about Buddha and discover the meanings

behind the many Buddhist symbols,” said Lisa Cash, museum intern and a Saturdays program planner. “I feel this particular event can help people with their daily life. Not only will it be interesting to learn how to meditate and find meanings in Buddhist symbols, it might be helpful in reducing my stress levels.” Community members, as well as Utah State students,

can visit the museum during its operating hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Funding for the Saturday events is provided by a grant from the United States Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the IMLS is available online (www.imls.gov). The USU Museum of

Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.

in the USU Department of Music in the Caine College of the Arts. The evening holds special meaning for USU’s Olson. “Their concerts are always eclectic and entertaining and I’m especially excited to have them perform the Utah premiere of one of my own compositions at this concert, ‘Impressions on a Theme by Beethoven,’” said Olson. The American Piano Duo is featured on the Tantara Records label owned

by Brigham Young University. The duo’s first album, released in 1998, “Celebrating Gershwin!,” marked the centennial year of the composer’s birth. Their album of the “Concerto for Two Pianos” by Mendelssohn is the world premiere recording of the original version. Their newest album features the three major works for two pianos by Sergei Rachmaninoff. “The duo will perform well-known pieces by Gershwin, Copland, Beethoven and Bernstein,” said Hirst. “I suspect audience members will recognize some of the material used in Olson’s piece as it draws upon music of Beethoven featured in the Academy Award-winning movie ‘The King’s Speech.’” Today Shumway is a member of the piano faculty at Brigham Young University while Parkinson is a professor of piano at Boise State University. From these positions they have linked up as a piano duo performing all over the United States, Europe and Mexico.

relationships without extensive scenery and costumes,” said Phebe Jensen, co-coordinator and English professor with an emphasis in Shakespeare. Actors from the London Stage is back for its sixth

performance in the last 12 years at Utah State. Sponsors for this year’s production include the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation-Russell Family, the Department of Theatre Arts, the Department of English and the Caine College of the Arts at USU. As visiting artists, the actors will work directly with USU students through workshops, lectures, seminars and informal meetings, offering opportunities to discuss literature and the art of theater. The actors also provide unique opportunities for students, faculty and community members to witness extraordinary performances by renowned Shakespearean artists drawn from among the most esteemed theater companies in the world.

Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. at the Morgan Theatre located in the Chase Fine Arts Center. “‘The Tempest’ is as entertaining as it is reflective on life’s journey — the choices one makes and the consequences of those choices,” said Kenneth Risch, department head of theatre arts at USU. “At the center of the play is a belief in the necessity for forgiveness.” Set on a remote island, “The Tempest” — believed by many to be Shakespeare’s final solo work — tells the story of Prospero, the exiled Duke of

Utah State University will host American Piano Duo members Jeffrey Shumway and Del Parkinson in concert at 7:30 p.m. in the USU Performance Hall on Wednesday, Nov. 9. “I think it’s a great opportunity to have one of the premier piano duos in the area visit Utah State,” said Kevin Olson, assistant professor in the USU Department of Music in the Caine College of the Arts. “Jeffrey Shumway and Del Parkinson are both renowned soloists and the way they collaborate in ensemble situations is an experience that shouldn't be missed.” Shumway and Parkinson have been a piano duo team since 1984. They first met at the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition where both were prize winners. Their friendship cemented as they studied at The Juilliard School in Manhattan together. Afterward, both earned doctorates in piano with honors from Indiana University.

Reviews by The Associated Press

★ ‘A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas’

Director // Todd Strauss-Schulson Starring // Kal Penn, John Cho and Neil Patrick Harris Rated // R for strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, pervasive language, drug use and some violence

★★★ ‘Puss in Boots’

Director // Chris Miller Starring // Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek and Zach Galifianakis Rated // PG for some adventure action and mild rude humor A spinoff of the “Shrek” franchise, this is actually a prequel, providing the origin story of the diminutive, swashbuckling kitty voiced with great charisma, as always, by Antonio Banderas. The “Shrek” movies may not even exist as far we’re concerned here, which is fine, because they just kept getting worse (last year’s “Shrek Forever After,” in 3-D, felt especially flat). But the franchise reboots anew, if you’ll pardon the pun, with great energy, creativity and aplomb. At the film’s start, Puss is an outlaw in his own small, Spanish hometown. Flashbacks take us to

★★ ‘The Rum Diary’

Director // Bruce Robinson Starring // Johnny Depp, Giovanni Ribisi and Aaron Eckhart Rated // R for language, brief drug use and sexuality If Batman and the X-Men get prequels, why not Hunter S. Thompson? The film is based on Thompson’s heavily autobiographical novel that he wrote as a 22-year-old in the early 1960s after a stint as a newspaper reporter in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is Thompson pre-Gonzo, just a young novelist-reporter (technically an alter ego named Paul Kemp, played by Johnny Depp) trying

his childhood at an orphanage, where he was best friends with a brainy, ambitious Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis). Together, the two dreamed of stealing the magic beans, climbing the beanstalk and getting rich off some golden eggs. Now, that crime has become Humpty’s obsession. His partner in this caper is the dangerous master thief Kitty Softpaws, voiced with slinky seduction by Banderas’ frequent co-star, Salma Hayek. But since Puss is a lover as much as he’s a fighter, you know he’ll find a way to win her over. The Puss in Boots character eventually felt like the best part of the “Shrek” movies, but a little of him goes a long way. Giving him an entire movie of his own would seem like a stretch, and really, he has trouble sustaining his shtick for the film’s 90-minute running time. But for quick, lively, family entertainment, “Puss in Boots” works just fine, even in 3-D, which is actually integrated thoughtfully into the narrative and doesn’t just feel like a gimmick. 90 minutes. to find his voice as a writer. Director Bruce Robinson (“Withnail & I”), to his credit, keeps the film grounded, giving a more realistic, less cartoonish picture of Thompson. Kemp finds his identity in Puerto Rico, where he’s pulled between a dying newspaper (Richard Jenkins plays the exasperated editor-in-chief) and the allure of a sleazy but wealthy American businessman (Aaron Eckhart), who’s building a giant resort development. This builds slowly for Kemp into a moral crisis and, finally, an artistic tipping point. “I don’t know how to write like me,” he says, but by the end of the film, it’s clear Kemp/Thompson has found his legs. Still, “The Rum Diary,” entertaining and well-intended, comes just shy of discovering its own voice. Amber Heard nearly steals the movie as Eckhart’s fiancee. 120 minutes.

Pot smoke, mounds of coke and little, bitty Ecstasy pills. Urine, feces and semen. Topless nuns, stoned kids and a bloody Santa Claus. And of course, a singing and dancing Neil Patrick Harris. These are among the

many things that get thrown at the wall here — sometimes literally. Very few of them stick. This third film in the “Harold & Kumar” franchise is inordinately jacked up with visual effects and peppy holiday music, but nothing can disguise the fact that this series has run out of steam, that the film’s stars have outgrown the roles that made them famous. Yes, the use of 3-D is supergimmicky, but hey, at least director Todd Strauss-Schulson is consistent in staying with it the whole way through in making his first feature. By this point, John Cho’s Harold and Kal Penn’s Kumar have grown apart. A convoluted set of circumstances involving deflowering a virgin, finding the perfect Christmas tree and outsmarting Ukrainian mobsters creates the opportunity for these two old friends to reconcile. 90 minutes.

“Tower Heist” is an ensemble, and a strong one at that, led by Ben Stiller, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck and Tea Leoni. But Brett Ratner’s blast of an action comedy truly brings out the best in Eddie Murphy, something many of us may have forgotten even existed. Fast-talking, flummoxed and full of false bravado, Murphy gives a performance as a lowlevel thief that recalls his signature work in the movies that made him a superstar in the mid-1980s — like “48 Hours” and “Beverly Hills Cop.” When Murphy’s on screen in his classic comic mode, it’s hard to focus on anyone or anything else. It’s as if we’ve turned back time and erased all those family-friendly duds and lame laughers that required him to climb into yet another fat suit or talk to even more animals. “Tower Heist” deflates a bit when Murphy’s not around, but for the most part, Ratner’s movie is slick and crowd-pleasing — even more successfully so than his “Rush Hour” films — and it couldn’t be more relevant in exploring the disparity between the haves and have-nots. Following “In Time,” this is the second week in a row with a new release that plays like “Robin Hood” for the Occupy Wall Street crowd. Stiller stars as Josh, the longtime manager of a luxury high-rise in Manhattan; it’s actually

Marching while performing is something that is not new to Fields, however, because he spent four years on the Mountain Crest Marching Band. Logan High doesn’t have a marching band, though, so the process was new to Ordonez. Fortunately for Ordonez, learning positions and different maneuvers came relatively natural.

impress upon listeners the realities of war and human suffering. Britten is known as one of the leading opera composers of the 20th century, Jessop said, and his requiem is often ranked as one of the top

three greatest requiems ever written, along with “Mozart’s Requiem” and the “Verdi Requiem.” “This is a warning,” Jessop said. “Our lives haven’t changed in centuries. They’re still this never-ending human

obsession with violence.” Jessop is a retired veteran and lieutenant colonel and for the last four years since the American Festival Chorus was organized he has planned a Veterans Day concert.

In 1995 he performed the “War Requiem” at Carnegie Hall and said it was one of the most profound musical and spiritual experiences of his life.

Preston High School will present “Little Women,” opening next weekend Director Kimberly Hobbs and Choral Director Paul Seare announced Preston High School will perform “Little Women” on Nov. 11, 12, 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Little Women is a musical adaptation of the beloved literary classic by Louisa May Alcott. This exhilarating new musical follows the saga of the March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy as they grow up in Civil War America. This story tenderly portrays their journey as a family through trial and triumph. With a book by Allan Knee, music by Jason Howland, and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein, this show is sure to charm young and old alike. Assisted by choreographer Laurie Hemsley, pianist Sandra Flippence, orchestra director Jill Durrant, and costume director Pauline Woodward, this year’s cast promises to take audiences all the way to the heart of Orchard House, Concord, Mass. The charming cast ensemble will be led by Sariah Seare (Jo), Amy Higley (Amy), Katie Swainston (Meg), Ricky Priestley (Beth), McKenzie Shuman (Marmee), Andrew Robinson (Professor Bhaer), Cory Swainston (Laurie), Tate Bradfield (Mr. Laurence), Jonathan Swainston (Mr. Brook) and Melissa Shaffer as Aunt March. Tickets for the musical can be purchased at Preston High School and are $6 for adults and $4 for students and children.

Members of the American Festival Chorus rehearse for their upcoming performance of “Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem” at USU on Wednesday.

Requiem Continued from 10 “I promised myself before I died I would conduct this thing,” he said. “Well, I’m not getting any younger. It’s like climbing Mount Everest for a conductor. For me, it’s the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest. Now, why would anyone do that? Because you have to.” Jessop wants to encour-

age USU students and the community to come to the show, adding live performances of “War Requiem” are seldom, even in New York City. “I can’t think of a better way to honor the sacrifice of those who have given so much,” Jessop said. “I do think we have to be constantly reminded, especially for those who have no connection to anyone in the war, that this is literally people’s lives.” Reserved seats are $12, $16 and $18 and can be

Veteran’s Day Memorial Service The American Festival Chorus will also perform a Veterans Day memorial service Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. at Ellen Eccles Theatre. This show will be completely different than the performance of “Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem.” It will include patriotic selections and Adjutant General Brian Tarbet of the Utah National Guard will speak. Tickets for the service are free, but required, and can be obtained at www.ellenecclestheatre.com. Jessop said the armistice of World War I was signed Nov. 11 at 11:11 a.m., so the American Festival Chorus is trying to recreate the moment. “This year is 11-11-11. It’ll only happen once,” Jessop said. “It will be another hundred years before we see another 11-11-11 again.”

“Autumn” By Titan Anderson Gold fresh air fresh scent Leaves rustle and dance in air White tipped mountains

By Jerry Harkavy Associated Press

World War II was “the greatest and most terrible event in human history,” Max Hastings writes, and any doubts are sure to be dispelled by reading his gripping and comprehensive account of that epic struggle. From Adolf Hitler’s invasion of Poland to the atomic bombs that hastened Japan’s surrender, “Inferno” details all the major campaigns, with vignettes and anecdotes that provide a richly textured picture of what soldiers and civilians on all sides experienced on the battlefield and the home front. Hastings is a former British newspaperman and renowned military historian who has written more than 20 books, many

of them focusing on aspects of World War II. “Inferno,” the broadest and most ambitious of his books about the war, draws from letters and diaries of ordinary people and even from novels by Pacific war veterans Norman Mailer and James Jones. There are spellbinding accounts of campaigns too often overlooked: the 1939-40 Winter War sparked by the Soviet attack on Finland, brutal ethnic clashes in Yugoslavia and the bravery of the Britishled troops in jungle fighting that recaptured Burma after inflicting the greatest defeat ever suffered by a Japanese army. Still, according to Hastings, virtually all the combat in the Pacific, the Mediterranean

ished — as many as died in the entire London blitz — during a 14-hour Luftwaffe assault on Stalingrad, and 90 percent of all German combat deaths occurred on the eastern front. The Soviets suffered 65 percent of all Allied military deaths, followed by China, with 23 percent; the U.S. and Britain accounted for 2 percent each. Hastings offers tantalizing “what ifs” and how they might have altered the course of the war. He maintains that Hitler erred in launching his

Brokaw’s view on today’s America By Rob Merrill Associated Press

Just in time for the 2012 general election, Tom Brokaw has written a book that begins with the sentence: “What happened to the America I thought I knew?” It’s easy to imagine Republicans and Democrats flipping through it for ideas on how to avoid another debt ceiling debate, improve educational opportunities for all, or pursue green energy initiatives. But Brokaw didn’t write the book for the politicians he spent decades covering at NBC News. He seems to have written it mostly for his grandchildren, inspired by a reporting assignment in 2009 when he traveled across the U.S. on Highway 50 to show viewers the changing American character. Each chapter of “The Time of Our Lives” begins with a

box divided into two sections, FACT and QUESTION. Some sample facts: • Independent voters make up about 30 percent of the American electorate. • In 1999, 1.2 percent of home loans were in foreclosure.

• Daily newspapers penetrate less than 33 percent of the population 18 to 34 years of age. The corresponding questions frame the stories to come: When was the last time you voted a straight party line? Could you be just as happy in a smaller home? Are you more or less inclined to believe what you read on the Internet than what you pick up from elsewhere? All those facts and questions make for an occasionally wonky book, but Brokaw’s journalism background is evident. He’s quick to focus on individual stories and characters to make his points. Brokaw sprinkles in quite a few personal stories as well, writing about his early years as a reporter in Los Angeles and buying his first house for $42,500 in the San Fernando Valley.

bombers against England rather than sending troops to take Egypt and Malta. He also questions the need for the U.S. campaigns in the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa when strategic bombing and a naval blockade would have sufficed to bring Japan to its knees. “Inferno” is a magnificent achievement, a one-volume history that should find favor among readers thoroughly immersed in World War II and those approaching the subject for the first time.
