Marine Band, Toys for Tots make beautiful music together Here’s an early Christmas event that’s fun, free and an invitation to spread holiday cheer to children. Gather the family and head downtown for “Santa Meets Sousa,” a Marine Corps Band concert at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11, at the Saenger Theatre, 1111 Canal St. Reserved-seating tickets will be available beginning at 10 a.m. the day of the concert at the Saenger box office. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and Marines will be in the lobby to collect new, unwrapped toys for their annual Toys for Tots drive. “The donations are greatly appreciated,” said Chief Warrant Officer Michael J. Smith, officer in charge and principal conductor of the band. “The toys will help less fortunate children in the New Orleans area have a brighter Christmas.” The concert features the music of John Philip Sousa, an American composer known for his military and patriotic marches. Sousa, who lived from 1854 to 1932, was a member of the Marine band and served as its director for 12 years. “Sousa didn’t write any Christmas music, but we are doing a medley as if he had,” Smith said. The concert is a 1½ hour holiday production “that will fly by with something eväSee JENSEN, page 2G

Getting their chance to shine
From kids to seniors, NOBA puts community dancers on stage BY JASON BROWNE
Special to The Advocate Ballet does not discriminate on the basis of age, and the New Orleans Ballet Association will prove it twice on Sunday. NOBA will offer its annual performances of “The Nutcracker Suite” at Dixon Hall on the Tulane University campus at 3 p.m. and again at 6 p.m., with a cast of all-amateur dancers ranging in age from single digits to 77. “Dance has a way, as all arts do, to bring people together,” said Jenny Hamilton, NOBA’s executive director. First, it will bring together members of the NOBA Center for Dance’s Pre-Professional program (ages 9-18) and the Senior Dance Fitness program (no age limit) from the city’s eight New Orleans Recreational De-
velopment centers to rehearse. Then it will bring together hundreds of guests from the community to enjoy the show. “We do our dance with the children, and it’s a lot of fun,” said Irethea Gilyard, 77. “I have an 8-year-old grandson, so it gets me prepared for when I have him during school breaks.” Gilyard has been a loyal member of NOBA’s Senior Dance Fitness classes for seven years. This will be her third “Nutcracker Suite” performance. She said performing is a thrill, but the community aspect of the program is her true inspiration. “I attend three to four classes per week. It keeps us active as seniors. But even when we’re not in class, we’re all friends, and we do things together,” Gilyard said. äSee SHINE, page 4G

Baby,it’s cold outside for your pets,too
It took a while, but we finally got our first cold snap last week, so now it’s a good time to think about protecting our pets from the elements this winter. n Make sure to have a cold weather plan. Though it does not happen often in south Louisiana, when we experience those freezing or nearfreezing temperatures, pets need to be brought indoors to keep ANIMAL them warm and RESCUE safe. It is a comTRACI mon myth that HOWERTON dogs and cats can tolerate cold weather because they have fur coats. While their fur may serve as some insulation, cats and dogs feel the cold just like we do. Prolonged exposure to frigid weather can cause conditions such as hypothermia and frostbite in animals. n If pets absolutely cannot be taken into the home, then provide them a shelter that is warm, protected from wind and rain, and raised off the ground. The garage or a shed and plenty of clean blankets are recommended. If they are
being sheltered in a dog house, it should not be overly large and should have warm bedding that is changed frequently. Elevating the dog house off the ground a few inches will prevent moisture from coming in through the floor. In addition, a flap opening or positioning away from the wind will help keep the warmth in and the chill out. n Cat colony caretakers may want to leave a crack in the garage door so cats have a warm place to go. Cats tend to curl up in tire wheel wells and under the hoods of cars to escape the cold weather, so make it a routine to knock on the hood of the car before starting it. You don’t want to hurt any potential feline squatters. n Keep plenty of fresh, clean water available for both cats and dogs at all times, and make sure the water does not freeze. Dehydration is a problem in the winter, too. Be on the lookout for anti-freeze and rat poisoning – two items that are used a lot during the wintertime. It is always a good idea to keep all toxic items out of reach of the pets. Remember: If it is too cold for you to be outside, then it is too cold for your pets.

NUTCRACKER SUITE
Continued from page 1G together,” Gilyard said. Angelo Vicini, 12, also spends a lot of time inside NORD centers. He recently cut back from dancing six days a week to five. But he was back at the Lyons NORD center on a recent Sunday for costume fitting and group rehearsal. “I’m playing Fritz, the annoying brother. It’s great,” he said. Angelo has been with NOBA for three years, and he dances year-round. This summer, he attended dance camp for nearly 10 hours a day. A seasoned veteran at 12, he’s met some of the dance world’s big names, such as Desmond Richardson, Donald Williams, Kellye Saunders and Trey McIntyre. And he’s comfortable in front of an audience. “I actually feel less nervous when I’m performing,” he said. Kennedy Dorsey, 18, has almost completed her time with the Pre-Professional program and is looking forward to dancing in college next year. But for
that can provide important clues to tracing African-American ancestors and researching the Reconstruction Era. Links to the following content are also available: n U.S. Congressional Serial Set records the memorials, petitions and private relief actions made to Congress back to 1789 with more than 480,000 pages of information. n The Periodical Source Index Archive published by the Allen County Public Library is recognized as the most comprehensive index of genealogy and local history periodicals. It contains more than 2.3 million records covering titles published around the world since 1800.

They inspire me to have energy when I’m tired,” she said. And the seniors? “I love them! They’re so feisty. They have so much sass,” she said with a laugh. Dorsey is one of NOBA’s star talents. She’ll play the role of the porcelain doll in “The Nutcracker Suite,” while her fellow high school seniors play the remaining lead roles as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Snow Queen

(Cori Lewis), the Nutcracker Prince (Will Byram), the flower soloist (Taylor Landry) and the military doll (Leielani Ealy). Dorsey puts in a minimum of 20 hours per week of dance practice on top of earning top marks at school. She’s already performed with some of the most famous dancers and companies in the country (Dance Theatre of Harlem, The Joffrey Ballet, Limon Dance Company and others), which Hamilton said any participant in NOBA’s free youth dance programs can do if they have the ambition
and the discipline. “Kennedy’s résumé when she graduates from college will be better than a lot of pros. Any of these children can walk into these NORD centers at 6 years old and do the same. There’s a clear path defined for that child. They never have to pay for a class. If they need tights or shoes, we can give them that, too. The only barrier is they have to have the work ethic,” Hamilton said. Or, they can choose just to have fun and dance in “The Nutcracker Suite.”
