~ George Cooper, October’s Party

As I glance out my window and watch a few leaves drift lazily ground ward, I recall a fall day I’ll never forget. Over a dozen years ago, while working from home in my little house on Matthews Street, the glorious strains of the CSU Fight Song suddenly wafted through my open window. The volume indicated that the CSU Marching Band was close by, but that didn’t make any sense… why would the band be in my neighborhood on a weekday afternoon? I grabbed my young daughter’s hand and we rushed out in search of the band, ending up on the field behind the empty Fort Collins High School. Growing up in Fort Collins, attending Fort Collins High School and CSU, and being in the marching band at both schools, seeing (and hearing) the CSU Marching Band on the old FCHS practice field was emotional and apropos. The old building, where the arts had once thrived, was getting a new chance. Not only the band, but all of the performing arts students were to have a collective space of their own. This band rehearsal signified that the creation of the University Center for the Arts was in motion. Whether you played in marching band, or had a kid who did, or just enjoy hearing one, a marching band represents fall: a hometown parade through crunchy leaves, the smell of damp wool uniforms during a rainy football game, and the swell of pride when a fight song is played to the home stands. The CSU Marching Band has had a particularly memorable start to fall 2015, and we’re excited to share that with you in this issue of The Green Room. Actually, this has been a banner semester so far for all of us at the UCA, including the opening of SCRIMMAGE in the University Art Museum; the premiere of the documentary How A Place Matters; music and dance partnerships with Bohemian Foundation and the Fort Collins Lincoln Center; a Center for Studies in Beckett and Performance exclusive reprise; and last week’s packed University Symphony Orchestra concerts featuring guest pianist Katie Mahan. Whether you are a student, parent, faculty/staff member, K-12 educator, donor, or community member, we can’t tell you enough how incredibly honored we are to have your attention and support; we look forward to connecting with you throughout the rest of the fall. Now grab a pumpkin-spiced beverage and your tablet, and enjoy this issue of The Green Room!

Have you heard about the Colorado State University Alumni Band experience? CSU’s Alumni Band began in 1993 when a group of enthusiastic alumni from the 80s and 90s rented a flatbed truck and participated in the Homecoming and Family Weekend parade. Over the years the group has grown in size, and annually joins the CSU Marching Band on the field – and in the stands – during the homecoming game.

Annual CSU Alumni Band Reunion Takes Place During Homecoming and Family Weekend By Jennifer Clary Jacobs

“We anticipate a large and energetic group for this year’s Homecoming face-off with Air Force,” said Richard Frey, director of the CSU Marching Band and associate director of Bands at CSU. “Whether you’re a recent graduate or have been an alum for years, we want you to join us for this special weekend as we celebrate our traditions and connect with old friends.” In a letter to alumni, recent graduate and former CSU Marching Band Drum Major Josh Garcia said, “It was during the years [in the band] that I found my passion, made friendships that will last a lifetime, and became part of a community that will forever hold a special place in my heart.” He encouraged former members to come back with an even larger presence. “Let’s make our alma mater proud by having even more alumni members accompanying the band in the stands and on the field! Bring your family, and let’s meet up– it’s bound to be another experience full of memories,” said Garcia. Homecoming activities start as early as Thursday night with a Symphonic Band concert and include a breakfast and rehearsal at the University Center for the Arts on Saturday, followed by the big game. “I look forward to seeing and meeting many alumni this fall as we share our memories and show our RAM pride,” said Frey.

Comprised of 230 talented students from all eight colleges at CSU, the Marching Band has proven time and again its commitment to outstanding performances and inspiring Ram Pride. This year’s band is outfitted with new uniforms thanks to the generosity of over 200 individual donors. Last spring’s fundraising campaign raised over $210,000, complimenting an initial gift given by an anonymous supporter of the College. On Sept. 4, about 40 donors to the CSU Marching Band’s uniform campaign came to rehearsal for a preview of the opening game show and to see the new uniforms.

T HE UN IVE RSI TY C ENT E R F OR T HE ARTS THE GRE E N R OOM / I S S UE 5, O C TO B ER 2 0 1 5

The uniform design was given logo and trim updates, with a fitted construction. The previous uniform was worn with room to layer underneath for cold weather, whereas the new uniform comes with an outer cold-weather jacket, giving the band a leaner look.

Everyone’s favorite component has turned out to be the Aggie/Orange-out accessories which were worn on Ag Day, for the Denver Broncos’ performance, and will show up again on Halloween. “For the first time that we know of, the band now has an orange option, allowing the students to fully participate in this important CSU tradition,” said Jennifer Clary Jacobs, director of marketing for the University Center for the Arts. Additionally, the four dozen members of the Color Guard and Golden Poms now have gorgeous, complimentary outfits, designed for mobility and elegance. There's only one thing the band can say:

CSU Drumline members Peter Hirschhorn, Spencer Poston, Anthony Lederhos, and Catie Pearson model the new uniform.

Golden Poms Alumnae Are

Dancing Their Dreams Many CSU Golden Poms Dance Team alumnae have made the decision to become professional dancers and performers following graduation. “It's great to see the CSU game day experience has made such an impression on these ladies, so much so that they have decided to continue performing professionally,” said Brittany Wade-Pruett, Golden Poms director. When the CSU Marching Band recently performed at a Denver Broncos game, it was an opportunity for the Golden Poms to see their former teammates who are now Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. “I absolutely love watching our alumnae continue dancing and carrying out their dreams,” expressed Wade-Pruett. “I also believe it's great for the new members of the Golden Poms Dance Team to see that dancing and performing doesn't have to end once you graduate.”

An Evening of Collaboration, Synergy, and Live Music

n Sept. 17, an inspiring and collaborative event took place when the University Center for the Arts hosted a premiere screening of the documentary, How A Place Matters: How Place Can Shape Innovation. The film featured Post Paradise, who not only provided the soundtrack for the film, but appeared in it. Following the film, the full house enjoyed a Contemporary Artist Music Series concert – sponsored by Bohemian Foundation – showcasing Post Paradise. According to the Smithsonian Institution, Fort Collins represents 21st century innovation, so much so that it is included in an ongoing exhibit in Washington, D.C. A new documentary, produced by Rocky Mountain PBS and Colorado State University, takes an in-depth look at what makes Fort Collins an important Place of Invention. “In tackling the documentary project, our premise was that the conditions that create the right synergy for an innovative community are not simple to build, but you know them when you see them in place,” explained CSU’s Vice President for External Relations Tom Milligan. “And we have them all right here in Fort Collins.” Groundbreaking clean-energy research being done at CSU and in Fort Collins is showcased in the Places of Invention exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the National Museum of American History. The exhibit, which also features such cultural and techno-

logical game-changers as Hollywood in the 1930s and Silicon Valley in the 1980s, will remain on display until 2020. The premiere was emceed by Innosphere Vice President Doug Johnson, and special guests included Fort Collins Mayor Wade Troxell, the President of KRMA and Rocky Mountain PBS, Harris Ravine, and the Director of the CSU Alumni Association Kristi Bohlender.

The Contemporary Artist Music Series encourages community support of local musicians, and the evening was also a tribute to that end. Post Paradise’s distinct alternative/ indie-rock sound, with a classical flair propelled by Amy Morgan’s electric cello, was beautifully supported by Griffin Concert Hall’s renowned acoustics. The band’s set was a perfect addition to the celebration. “I thought it was an amazing evening and was honored to be a part of it,” added Johnson. How A Place Matters will air on Rocky Mountain PBS on Oct. 1 and again on Feb. 18, 2016.

For Johnson, it was incredible to see so many people from all sectors of the community, many who had a part in helping to make the FortZED project a reality, at the event. “It was a true community effort in the UniverCity Connections spirit; this collaborative town/ gown relationship is in our DNA, is rare, and is hard to duplicate,” he declared. Johnson puts forth a simple equation to express what’s happening within the community. “Research + private enterprise = public benefit – it's a simple equation!”

A few weeks ago during rehearsal, the CSU Marching Band abruptly switched gears, stopping in the middle of learning drill to play the Coast Guard song, “Semper Paratus.” At the time, the reason was only known by Director Dr. Richard Frey who had previously received a special letter from one of the three people watching from outside the practice field fence.

Mary Beth Solano, who wrote the touching note, agreed that Dr. Frey should share her story with the entire band.

While sharing this personal note to the entire ensemble, Dr. Frey examined his own thoughts: “I often wonder how what we do, both in band and in our daily lives, has an impact on those around us,” he said. “Learning that Ms. Solano’s father was a Coast Guard veteran from WWII, it was right to honor him that way.” While following up with Ms. Solano for permission to share this story in The Green Room, she relayed, from her perspective, the effect of the “Semper Paratus” moment. I took dad to practice [again] yesterday and they were practicing their pieces for their military appreciation show. Bless their hearts; they played the coast guard hymn while we were there. He took his hat off, stood a little higher at attention, and cried...so did I. Another incredibly meaningful moment for his soul. With all the health issues he deals with, that is worth more than you will ever know.

“Sometimes what we do is much bigger than just entertaining a crowd,” Frey told the band. “And I’m proud that our band could have such an effect on this family.”

Good afternoon! I got home a bit ago from witnessing the most wonderful moments...I brought my 89 year old father who can hardly walk and is suffering from some significant dementia, along with my granddaughter who just started Kindergarten, to watch the marching band practice today. I knew we could only stay a few minutes because he can't be out in the heat, but in those moments I watched my dad's face just light up and he started to remember marching band rehearsals he was in decades ago in college at the University of Minnesota. He played tuba back then (even took it up again about 20 years ago for a while) and has always LOVED listening to brass instruments anywhere he can find them, particularly in a good marching band like what we saw today. He became animated and talkative like he hasn't been for a long while. We heard about the different techniques the director of this band uses compared to the one who led his band and he noticed how straight the trumpet player’s arms were and how in-sync the bells on the sousaphones moved. I haven't heard him notice details like that in years!! My granddaughter was marching in her own little parade and had all kinds of questions about why and how and who. It was a very special time!!! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this afternoon. Your work lit a light in my granddaughter's heart and relit the light in my father's eyes and memories.

CSU professor’s book lands top honor from British Medical Association By Jeff Dodge CSU Public Relations Coordinator for the College of Liberal Arts

The Oxford Handbook of Neurologic Music Therapy, co-edited and co-authored by Thaut, was short-listed as one of three finalists to receive the much-coveted best book award from the British Medical Association, out of all neurology books published in 2014. The annual award ceremony took place Sept. 3 in London, and the Handbook received second place. “This was a huge and unlikely honor,” Thaut said. Thaut co-edited the book with internationally renowned neurologist Volker Hoemberg. In addition to Thaut and Hoemberg, Corene Thaut, a former CSU research associate in the Center for Biomedical Research in Music, contributed six chapters to the book.

> DEFINITIVE GUIDE The book, published by Oxford University Press in 2014, was one of about 630 entries for the BMA awards. It serves as the definitive, comprehensive guide to the field of neurologic music therapy, the only medically recognized branch of music therapy. “Since it’s such a small field in neurology, getting this honor is quite shocking, actually,” Michael Thaut said. “We were truly speechless. I had to read the email several times to believe it.” The Thauts attended the ceremony and received the award in person.

Michael Thaut, director of the Center for Biomedical Research in Music at Colorado State University and pioneer in the neuroscience of music and neurologic music therapy, has received a major honor from across the pond.

“It was certainly an experience of a lifetime to be invited and nominated; it felt a bit like being at the ‘Book Oscars,’” Thaut said with a laugh. In addition, this spring Thaut was named an overseas fellow of Great Britain’s Royal Society of Medicine, which was established in 1805 and is one of the country’s primary providers of postgraduate medical education. Fellows receive access to one of the finest medical libraries in the world, online and educational resources, exclusive club facilities and support for continuing professional development.

The Oxford Handbook of Neurologic Music Therapy, co-edited and co-authored by Thaut

Neurologic music therapy is a standardized, evidence-based system of music therapy developed by Michael Thaut and his original research team, which included Hoemberg and Corene Thaut as well as neurologist Gerald McIntosh and physical therapist Ruth Rice. Their efforts resulted in the founding of the Robert F. Unkefer Academy of Neurologic Music Therapy in 1999, which offers training in the field and has certified about 2,500 neurologic music therapists and other rehabilitation professionals in 25 countries. Neurologic music therapy uses music-based rehabilitation exercises to retrain the brain for regaining control of movement, speech, language and cognitive/emotional functions like attention, memory and executive function. The therapy is used to address a variety of conditions, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, dementia, autism, Alzheimer’s disease and developmental disabilities. Michael Thaut received his master’s degree and Ph.D. in music from Michigan State University with a minor in movement science. He also has a degree in music from the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Austria. At Colorado State University he is a professor of music and neuroscience and is former director of the School of Music, Theatre and Dance, which is in CSU’s College of Liberal Arts.

The opening concert, conducted by Dr. Phillips and graduate conductor Chase Morin, features Paul Hindemith’s Symphony in Bb for Band. The symphony, one of Hindemith’s last orchestral compositions, was completed in 1951, and premiered the same year in a performance by the United States Army Band, “Pershing’s Own” conducted Hindemith himself. The CSU concert also features works by Beethoven, Whitacre, and Kurka.

“What I think is a priority is continuing to find ways to make the liberal arts relevant, in terms of change that people want to see in the world, in terms of people’s individual lives, in terms of how people work with and improve their communities.” — Dean Ann Gill

Gill known for her engaging speeches, addreses graduates at a College of Liberal-Arts commencement ceremony.

Summarizing the long and successful career of a decidedly humble leader can seem like a daunting task – that is, until speaking to the people who have come to know and love her. By Rachael Johnson, Assistant to Dean for External Relations College of Liberal Arts Dean Ann Gill recently announced her retirement, effective July 1, 2016, after nearly 36 years of teaching, mentoring, and leadership at Colorado State University. While Gill might not be one for self-aggrandizement, the people who have built deep and lasting relationships with her over the years are unreserved in their praise. From her generous, selfless, caring nature to her quick wit, brilliant mind, and strategic insight, it is clear that Gill is a special person.

A voice for change

Gill’s down-to-earth, hardworking personality can be traced back to her roots growing up on a farm in Merino, Colo. It was there that she developed her strong work ethic as well as an enduring love of athletics, always showing up to cheer for the home team. Gill excelled at public speaking from the time she was a young girl, displaying a unique ability to connect with others through her skill in weaving words and imagery into a captivating story.

“There was a point in time when I thought I was actually going to leave school because of the financial burden,” he recalls. “Ann helped me navigate through that to the point that she kept me in school and allowed me to fulfill my dreams of being the first in my family to get a college degree. It is the reason that I created the Bohling-Gill scholarship with her, so that we might be able to help others in the way she helped me. For those who have the privilege and the honor to get to know Ann, she was more than just a college professor or dean. She was someone who became not only your friend, but someone who you would cherish and consider part of your family.”

She has often used this voice to advocate for those who need it most. Gill was deeply impacted by the 1960s era of the civil rights movement.

Talk to anyone who knows Gill well, and countless stories like this will emerge. Gill has a particular love of working with student-athletes and has continued mentoring them throughout her time as dean. Albert Bimper, senior associate athletics director for diversity and inclusion and professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies, says Gill is an invaluable resource to CSU athletics.

“There’s a recognition she has of systemic inequalities and a real effort on her part to address that,” says Greg Dickinson, chair of the Department of Communication Studies. “She thinks about it on a global scale, but on a more personal level, she knows she can reach out to a student or a young faculty member and can help create a shift for them. If you look at her scholarship, it all has to do with social justice and people who want to make a change in the world.”

“One of her greatest qualities is she takes that time or goes that extra mile to understand our student-athletes, to understand their stories, and then really help build an opportunity for them to be successful academically,” he says. “Some of them live in the CSU limelight, they live under a microscope, but Ann breaks down that mystique. She isn’t enthralled with who they are as athletes, but gets to know who they are as people.”

Kim Tobin, associate vice president for University advancement and former director of development in the College of Liberal Arts, saw the depth of these relationships firsthand. Gill and Tobin would often travel together to connect with college alumni across the country. Tobin described a time when Gill was devastated

Beloved mentor

Gill has certainly impacted the many students she has mentored over the years. During her years as a speech communication

I S S UE 5, O C TO B ER 2 0 1 5 / T H E GRE E N ROOM T HE UN IVERS ITY C ENT ER F OR T HE ARTS

faculty member, she coached the forensics team, driving students across the country in a van to attend tournaments. One of those students, Joe Bohling (speech communication, ’90), recalls the deep impact she had on the trajectory of his life.

College of Liberal Arts Annual Donor Luncheon, often held at the University Center for the Arts

“We had an alumni breakfast and a fellow came in, a former football player, and immediately asked for her,” Tobin recalls. “When I explained that she wasn’t able to make the trip, his face fell. From behind his back, he pulled out a corsage he’d brought to thank her for all she had done for him and to represent the impact she had on the many football players she’d helped over the years. He traveled a long distance and left his home at 4 a.m. so he could have breakfast with her. To have a dean that has made that kind of impact is pretty extraordinary.” But that’s just who Gill is. Her favorite part of the job, the piece she is most passionate about and where she finds “great joy,” is working with students. For her, crafting these deep, genuine relationships comes down to being a good listener. Underlying this is a real belief in her students’ ability to succeed – a belief that “you can do this; and not only can you do this, I expect you to do this.”

Champion for the liberal arts

While Gill has made an impact on numerous students’ lives through her dedicated mentorship, she has also had a profound

impact on the College of Liberal Arts. At CSU, the name Ann Gill has become synonymous with liberal arts. Gill works tirelessly on behalf of the college as well as the University, and those around her have taken notice. According to Tobin, the College of Liberal Arts has begun to be “recognized as a fundamental component of CSU,” and Gill played a large role in leading that transformation. This commitment to scholarship has not replaced excellent teaching, but rather complemented it. As liberal arts faculty have produced a steady increase in publications, research, and grants, they have continued to win awards for teaching. This has resulted in what Dickinson refers to as a “transformation [to a] profoundly different place. Ann’s ability to maintain a personal touch while overseeing the transition to a more scholarly department is really remarkable and irreplaceable.” Behind the transition of the college is a knowledge within Ann that the fate of liberal arts lies in not only talking the talk but walking the walk in terms of real-world impact. “What I think is a priority is continuing to find ways to make the liberal arts relevant, in terms of change that people want to see in the world, in terms of people’s individual lives, in terms of how people work with and

improve their communities, however community is defined,” Gill says. “I think that’s the biggest thing we do for our students: give them the skills in all parts of their lives to be everything that they can be. And I see that happening in wonderful ways.” Near the heart of the University, there is a statue with a quote from Isaac Newton: “If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.” Liberal Arts Development Council member and scholarship donor Thad Smith (sociology, ’74) refers to this campus landmark when talking about what Gill has accomplished in her tenure. “I would put her in that category; we will be standing on her shoulders for what she accomplished for the college and all the people involved,” he says. “Ann has muscled her way to making this college very relevant – it’s very much a part of the University and very much a part of its reputation. Whoever comes in behind her will get to build on what she did.”

There will be many opportunities to connect with Gill this year. During Homecoming & Family Weekend she will be at Festival on the Oval giving away free hugs at the Ann Gill Hugging Booth. This will take place Friday, Oct. 16, from 3:30-6 p.m., and the College of Liberal Arts will be on hand to take photos of individuals with Gill. Gill is also the featured guest at the Tailgate Tribute to Dr. Ann Gill sponsored by the Department of Communication Studies and the Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts program on Oct. 17 from 10:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. at RamTown outside Hughes Stadium.

THIS MONTH: MONIQUE CRINE

Warhoeldnesday W

The Denver-based artist spoke at length about her work as part of the lecture series connected to the University Art Museum’s current exhibition Scrimmage: Football in American Art from the Civil War to the Present. Scrimmage gives an in-depth look at the American relationship with its favorite sport and its portrayal in art in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Crine recently concluded her solo exhibition, Critical Focus, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, an exhibition that focused on her most recent project, Eden Prairie: a series of paintings portraying retired football players. Influenced by mid-century American film, and her grandfather Leslie Crine – a press photographer in the 1960s – Crine’s paintings, typically oil on canvas and based upon photographs taken by Crine herself, capture a realism rarely seen in such a medium. As an avid film photographer who still works with 35mm film and her grandfather’s camera, Crine uses her talents as both an accomplished photographer and an award winning painter to create this stunning and life-like work.

But it is not simply creating paintings of the photographs that make her work so captivating. Crine looks for what she calls “cinematic perspective” in her paintings, displaying many of pieces in larger-than-life size and scale with ratios commonly associated with film and cinema, giving her work a widescreen or landscape display and feel to them. The film influences don’t end there. With the meticulous detail, Crine can take up to weeks or sometimes even months translating the film to paint, incorporating elements such as distortions of light – like lens flares – and texture captured only in analogue film and the inherent “flaws” representative of the medium. So why paint something that has already been photographed? “Painting from the photographs gives [the paintings] a quality of realness that you can’t find in film,” said Crine. “The textures, the lights, things come out of the painting… that can’t be seen on the film.” That’s where the magic really begins. Crine finds a converging road between two mediums often seen as separate and unequal.

There’s an old football term known as a dual-threat quarterback, referring to the once-rare phenomenon of a quarterback who not only threw the football well but could create positive plays with his legs: in the art world, Monique Crine is just that.

Written by Spencer Gillard

Now on her sixth series of hyper-real paintings, Crine, whose subjects revolve around iconic American imagery, takes her large, cinematic art style to tackle larger-than-life figures, noting with a smile: “There’s nothing quite as American as football.”

T HE UN IVE RSI TY C ENT E R F OR T HE ARTS THE GRE E N R OOM / I S S UE 5, O C TO B ER 2 0 1 5

When Crine began the project, she admits her ignorance towards the sport, but that didn’t diminish her captivation with her subjects. “When I started this project, I didn’t know anything about football, but I was drawn to these largerthan-life, literally, figures.”

Crine’s focus is on retired players (retirement often due to injury) and their post-football journey. Though expecting personalities of these athletes to match the intensity and ferocity of the figures she saw on the field, Crine was amazed at the humble and gentile giants she encountered. “I was surprised, getting to meet many of these players and hear their stories, they were all very kind, and gentile, and absolutely nothing you would expect,” adding, “They’re gladiators, they’re absolute spectacles.” Crine’s next project features the first generation of black football players in the South Eastern Conference. You can see Crine’s painting Richard, 1961 a painting of her father based upon her grandfather’s photograph, and part of her series Wooden Nickels, in Scrimmage at the University Art Museum in the UCA now through Dec.18. The Art Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
