t fiiibl P«fl» 8, Cai^l Point*. April gl,1»7l , ..: ., Jazz Ensemble will Compete In Conn • «M\. by Heidi Rufol \The PSUC Jazz Ensemble will be traveling to Quinnipiac College in Hamden. Conneticuit for a three day competition to be held there starting Friday April 27th and continuing through Sunday April 29th. Fifty bands submitted applications and tapes of their music and only ten of those fifty were selected. PSUC was very lucky to have been chosen along with other fine bands of such high caliber as Eastman, Ohio State, Iowa, MIT, and Fredonia to name a few. The fact that Pittsburgh State was selected is a good reflection on the music department here, since there isn*' a real music major to speak of, where* all the other bands involved have a distim. music major program. Each band will have twenty-five minutes to perform their best material and only three bands will make it to the finals. Herm Matlock is not going to preoccupy himself with winning but with going \to have fun and do their best.\ The Ensemble's chance to do their best will come on Friday night at 10 p.m. when they will perform their big Students Exhibit number, \Channel One Suite,\ and continue with \Is Anything Still There\ \Shell Game\ and either \Greensleevcs\ or \Superbone meets the Bad man\. The fun will begin as soon as they get there on Friday and go through Sunday when it's all over. Along with the College bands competing will be numerous professional bands such as those of Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Clarke Terry, Gurry Mulligan and many others-as if that weren't enough. It is easy to see why Matlock and the members of the ensemble are feeling both honored and excited about this trip. Matlock feels very lucky to have such a talented and compatible band to work with. They're compatible when they're together as a band and also outside of rehearsals and performances. This may be the reason why the band works so well; they work together with each other to give their best performance, not against each other or to outdo each other. Hopefully they will have thejbest time and a safe trip. Good Luck! There will be an exhibition of drawings, serigraphs, and lithographs by two PSUC seniors, Jo-Anne Wilson—Hoffman and Marjorie Cooney, from May l-I.I at the Collee Center Music Lounge. Ms. Hoffman, an art major at Pittsburgh State since I975, will show drawings and lithographs that were done during this spring semester. The work ranges from figurative drawings that play with flat shapes in a limited space, to still-life that make various spacial effects with mirrors. Ms. Cooriey's drawings were done while she was a student at Union College. Among them are a group of pen and ink drawings of herbs accompanied by an explanantion of the herbs' history and use. The serigraphs were done in Ms. Cooney's present year at PSUC and are simple solutions to design problems.
