s I write this, I am experiencing a breadth of emotions. All of us here at the Headquarters are still enjoying the electricity, excitement and energy of the recent National Convention. We are also still reeling from the atrocious attack on the United States by terrorists. By the time you read this, I pray that our nation and the world will be more at ease, that our national leaders have been able to take actions to put all terrorists on the run, and that the healing process has been deep for all who have been effected by the pain imposed on us. I am proud that many of you were able to participate in that healing process. Many of our university bands across the country performed special patriotic programs in the aftermath of the attacks, and the unity in our country has never been stronger. I was honored to be included in such a program in Houston, Texas, with the combined Marching Bands from the University of Houston and the University of Texas at their half time show in late September. The emotion and power generated by 500-plus performers as we presented “America the Beautiful” was awesome, and I was overwhelmed by the reaction of nearly 50,000 in the stands. I know the collective efforts of all of us do make a difference! And we move forward…

So much good was accomplished in Corpus Christi, Texas. Our educational forums were outstanding, and my congratulations to all presenters. We were fortunate to have two truly special speakers with us: Brett Sokolow and Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser. Mr. Sokolow kept us all riveted for over an hour as the Joint Session served as prosecutor, defense attorney, and jury on a real life sexual misconduct trial. His presentation raised everyone’s awareness of the dangers and responsibilities that we all must face in our society today.

Dr. Lautzenheiser was simply awesome! After battling air travel obstacles just to get to Corpus Christi, Dr. Tim gave three presentations that were uplifting, motivating, and inspiring! He is certainly one of the best speakers I have ever heard anywhere! And as he is a music educator, it is great to say he is one of ours!

The 2001 National Intercollegiate Band under the direction of Col. Bryan Shelburne, former Commander and Conductor of the US Army Band, was the best I’ve heard and the best in many years according to some of the longer serving members of the fraternity and sorority. The NIB performed two world premiers including the ΚΚΨ and ΤΒΣ Commissioning Piece, “Mourning Dances” by Timothy Mahr, and a special ΤΒΣ Commission by Julie Giroux, “Hand of Mercy.” The entire program was super, and the CD is already available!

There were many more special moments including the superb concert by the Band of the Air Force Reserve from Robins AFB, Georgia, the District Leadership Conference sessions, a great banquet, and the Saturday Night Event. I really enjoyed getting to meet so many of you and feeding off the excitement you all brought to make our convention truly magical. Congratulations to all of you who helped make this convention special!

We announced the 2003 National Convention site to be in Norfolk, Virginia, and I know many of you will make a huge effort to be there. Until then or other opportunities to get together with our Brothers and Sisters, I know you all will keep serving our university and college bands! U

National Commission to Commemorate Victims of Terrorist Attack Rescuers

by Lt Col Alan Bonner USAF (ret ) National Executive Director

K

appa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma National Band Fraternity and Sorority have commissioned noted composer Donald Grantham to write a wind band work to commemorate the “Lives Lost, Heroes Found, and the Enduring Spirit of America” following the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

The National Officers of Donald Grantham both Councils strongly felt that we needed to take this important step in our on-going tradition of commissioning works for bands, and they expressed great excitement to be able to secure the talents of Donald Grantham to create a work that would touch the soul of America. ΚΚΨ National President Kirk Randazzo and ΤΒΣ National President Sylvia Halbardier made it clear that this project is one that belongs to all of our members, and they encouraged every single chapter to participate in raising funds to reach our goal of $10,000 to fund this commission.

All ΚΚΨ and ΤΒΣ chapters are invited to send contributions to the National Headquarters earmarked “ΚΚΨ and ΤΒΣ Special Commission Fund.”

The campaign to raise these funds will be on-going until May 31, 2002. All alumni members, Local Associations of the National Alumni Association, friends and colleagues in the band world, and brothers and sisters in the music fraternal community are also invited to contribute to this special commission project.

A number of details as to premiere performances and how we will recognize contributors will be announced following the National Council meeting in January 2002.

We anticipate that the premiere performances will take place in September 2002. All contributors will be clearly recognized in an appropriate and grateful manner; however, we felt that this was too important not to let you know immediately of this new national project.

Composer Donald Grantham is the recipient of numerous awards and prizes in composition, including the Prix Lili Boulanger, the Nissim/ASCAP Orchestral Composition Prize, First Prize in the Concordia Chamber Symphony's

10—The PODIUM, Fall 2001

Awards to American Composers, a Guggenheim Fellowship, three grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, three First Prizes in the NBA/William Revelli Competition, two First Prizes in the ABA/Ostwald Competition, and First Prize in the National Opera Association's Biennial Composition Competition.

In recent years his works have been performed by the orchestras of Cleveland, Dallas, Atlanta, and the American Composers Orchestra among many others, and he has fulfilled commissions in media from solo instruments to opera.

2001 National Intercollegiate Band Establis

by Al Sergel ΚΚΨ Vice President fo Debbie Baker ΤΒΣ Vice Chair

T

he first National Intercollegiate Band of the century sets the standard! Seventyfour outstanding musicians come together to rehearse with Col. Bryan Shelburne. Add to the equation, two fantastic composers, Dr. Timothy Mahr and Julie Giroux. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this?! Under the baton of Col. Shelburne, retired commander and conductor of the U.S. Army Band, “Pershing’s Own,” the NIB prepared a concert to open the 2001 ΚΚΨ/ΤΒΣ National Convention. The actual project was coordinated by ΚΚΨ’s National Vice President for Professional Relations Al Sergel and ΤΒΣ’s Board of Trustees Vice Chair Debbie Baker.

After planning for two years, listening to audition tapes, coordinating all necessary equipment, and making biannual reports to the national council and board of trustees, we found that the first moments of sound sent our hearts pounding. Playing great works like “Godspeed” by Stephen Melillo, “Jubilee Overture” by Phillip Sparke, “Marche Des Parachutistes Belges” by Pierre Leemans/ arranged by Wiley, “Legacy” by Eric Ewazen, and “Fanfare for West Point” by James Barnes brings a new level of musicianship to the Omni Hotel. The NIB would be a great musical experience for any college student, but as you know, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma add something special to the NIB performance by the commissioning of new band works.

Again in 2001, the NIB premiered two new works. The 2001 Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma commissioned work was “Mourning Dances” by Dr. Timothy Mahr, a very challenging and musically emotional work with extensive percussion.

Dr. Mahr wrote this in memory of a St. Olaf band student who passed away last spring. The variance in colors and style is outstanding. It is a work many of our college bands will want to include in their repertoire.

The second premiere was the Tau Beta Sigma special commission “Hands of Mercy.” This piece was the result of hearing Woman in Music Speaker, Julie Giroux, at the 1999 National Convention. She was an inspiration to the Sorority and it was a

12—The PODIUM, Fall 2001

shes New Tradition of Excellence!

or Professional Relations E>>>4A33E Board of Trustees E>>>4A33E

clear decision of the National Council to have Julie share her writing talents with the NIB. “Hands of Mercy” is a culmination of individuals making a difference for the whole, a solemn and powerful work that is very expressive but also accessible. This work is playable by most high school bands with good french horn sections. This will also be a wonderful selection for college groups to include between major works.

It has been our privilege to organize the 1999 and 2001 National Intercollegiate Bands. Our goal has always been to continue the tradition of excellence that many have established before us. Our goal will always be to strive for the highest through a common bond of music. The 2001 NIB set a standard of musical excellence for the future. We thank and applaud each member of the 2001 NIB for all their hard work and dedication.

Without you, we would not have shared an array of emotions and feelings. Thanks to all those who auditioned, to our chapters, directors, sponsors, district and national officers, and our national headquarters staff for promoting and supporting the NIB. Special thanks to the following for their help: Andy Russell and Del Mar College, Corpus Christi, Texas; Bill Cason, Corpus Christi Independent School System; Liz Mendietta and the Miller High School Band, Corpus Christi, Texas; host NIB chapters Epsilon Delta, ΚΚΨ, and Delta Eta, ΤΒΣ, Texas A & M University, Kingsville; Bryan Herring, Director of Bands, Texas A & M University, Kingsville; ΚΚΨ/ΤΒΣ National Alumni Association; Northwest Missouri State University Bands; and Flat Rock Middle School Band, Tyrone, Georgia.

The 2001 National Intercollegiate Band was a musical success that every member of Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma can take pride in. The efforts and contributions of many culminated in a concert that truly reflects our organizations’ ideals in striving for the highest as we serve our university and college bands.

The A33E NIB: Some Participants’ Perspectives Assisting the NIB

Stephanie Salazar, Delta Eta, ΤΒΣ (Host Chapter member) “It seemed to me that it was all very well-organized: Col. Shelburne knew exactly what he wanted. The musicians were very self-motivated and professional. I was overwhelmed at how they could have so little time, not even knowing each other, and yet come together in a few days to create such incredible music. I felt that everyone involved was achieving something that was greater than we ever imagined.”

Filling In at the Last Minute

Amanda Beatty, Psi, ΤΒΣ “I was sitting in the Headquarters on-site office when Debbie Baker dashed in. She was asking about possible musicians to make up for last minute cancellations for the NIB, especially for euphonium. Since I play trombone, I thought I might be able to be ‘last chair.’ Debbie, however, had other plans for me – she needed a trombone player too!

“When I walked into the first rehearsal, I didn’t feel ready, musically or emotionally. The conductor, Col. Shelburne, was amazing; he made me feel comfortable immediately. When I played Julie Giroux’s new piece, “Hands of Mercy,” I felt the pride that comes from being part of a talented ensemble playing great music.”

Auditioning Through the Performance

Cecil Crabtree, Alpha Psi, ΚΚΨ “The first time I auditioned on the alto sax, I was only an alternate for the 1999 NIB. This time I took more time to prepare. When I opened the envelope announcing my selection to NIB, I felt relieved that I had really made it this time.

“I really wanted to get to Corpus early so I could touch base with friends who had recently become district presidents like Adam Cantley and Burt Daigle. I even found an hour or two to practice before audition time. I hung out in the hallway after I played, waiting to hear the results – I made first chair!

“And the rehearsals were long and pretty tough. It made me determined to practice more this summer to keep the edge I have now. The technical details were firm by the time of the performance so I could savor the moment of the music. The commissioned piece by Dr. Mahr had so many emotions to portray musically.

“Not everyone in ΚΚΨ or ΤΒΣ would think that they are good enough to be in the NIB but that is not always the case. The whole reason of joining these two organizations is because of our love for the band. And being a part of this ensemble, I saw many people who were not music majors sitting at the top of their section. So never miss an opportunity of a lifetime for lack of trying.”

14—The PODIUM, Fall 2001

A Math Major Makes the Band!

Nick Nerrin, Alpha, ΚΚΨ “The NIB was a lot of fun as well as a lot of hard work!

I’m a math major, not a music major, so don’t usually try out for ensembles such as the NIB, but this was the best band I’ve ever played in! Eighteen hours of practice over three days left my lips chapped for a week!

“It was really nice to play a concert for an audience composed of people who are dedicated to music; they are much more appreciative, and that helped us to play even better, I think.

“Col. Shelburne was a really nice person and did a great job conducting the band and putting together a performance in such a short time from a group of musicians who had never played together before.

“I really liked the composers’ conducting their own pieces and explaining how they were inspired to write them.

That made the entire experience much more interesting and a challenge to try to achieve their vision of the music.” U

Women in the Fraternity (part A)

by David Justin Editor’s Note: This is the second in a four-part series chronicling the history of women in Kappa Kappa Psi; part 1 appeared in the spring 2001 issue.

The E>BG National Convention Brothers, we must be at UCONN in ’73, for things of great importance to the fraternity will be discussed and voted.

Gordon E. Maroney, III, National Member-at-Large The PODIUM, spring 1973

T

he passage of Title IX threatened to redefine the most basic requirement for membership for all-male honor societies such as Kappa Kappa Psi by allowing women to join.

The issue was predominant on the minds of the Grand Council as they prepared for the 1973 National Convention at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut. The council strongly encouraged attendance so that all voices could be heard and so that this issue could be addressed.

“To sit by the band hall and hope this shall pass from us is foolish thinking,” Maroney continued in his PODIUM letter. “We must meet, discuss all aspects affecting us and decide what must be done now.”

As the chair of the National Student Advisory Committee, he invited all brothers in attendance at the National Convention to attend the meetings of the committee and to express their feelings and observations about the issue of allowing women in the fraternity. Constitutionally, the committee was chaired by the National Member-at-Large, now known as the National Vice President for Student Affairs, and consisted of the district presidents. Other members of the fraternity were allowed to sit in on this committee, but were not usually encouraged to do so.

National Executive Secretary Robert Rubin also addressed the issue in his PODIUM letter. He asked very direct questions that he hoped would be answered at UCONN. “What policy must we adopt to meet the requirements of [Title IX]?” he asked. “How can we also meet the needs of those who have already challenged our current governing document on this basis?…Is there really a need for two separate societies based on sexist selectivity within one collegiate band program? Would not one coed society serve as well?”

When the convention finally began, Grand President Richard “Doc” Worthington addressed the issue in his official report.

“A big challenge to the fraternity during the past biennium, at this meeting of the Grand Chapter, and in the future will be the [Education Amendments],” he said. “It has caused the ‘Rutgers’ incident in which a chapter was suspended because of ignoring the National Constitution and initiating women into their chapter in violation of this constitution. If women are to become a part of Kappa Kappa Psi, let it be done in an orderly manner with open discussion at a Grand Chapter meeting and not in open defiance to the National Constitution.”

He went on to give some options that would make the fraternity compliant with Title IX. Among those suggestions was the idea of merging Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma into a single “unisex” organization.

Richard Alder, a Life Member from the Nu chapter at the University of Michigan served as the chair of the jurisdiction committee at the convention.

“There was no buzz on merger in 1973,” he recalled when asked about the possibility of a merger in Storrs. “The Rutgers Incident was an anomaly that I think many chapters just preferred to ignore – chapter violated rules, chapter suspended, end of discussion in many people’s minds. If you’re not prepared to break down the gender barrier on membership, then you’re nowhere near thinking merger.”

However, Alder and his jurisdiction committee did discuss the possibility of changing the National Constitution.

The idea was to propose an amendment that would take out the “male” reference out of the membership requirements.

“I wanted to push the idea, and found the committee not totally sold on the idea,” Alder said. “J. Lee [Burke]’s suggestion was that the committee could propose an amendment ‘without prejudice’ which would put it before the membership for a vote without a recommendation either for or against from the committee.”

Burke, the third Grand President, was the Fraternity’s parliamentarian for life. He constantly advised and coached the jurisdiction and was more knowledgeable about the National Constitution than anyone in the Fraternity.

The committee accepted this compromise on the amendment proposal. The proposed amendment would read delete section 7.02 of the national constitution, which stated, “All members of the Fraternity shall be of the male sex.”

Prior to the jurisdiction committee report, Maroney presented the report of the National Student Advisory Committee. Their recommendation on the subject was not a

The PODIUM, Fall 2001—17

shock to the all-male membership.

Section VI, part 2 of the advisory committee report stated, “It is recommended that no action be made on the part of Kappa Kappa Psi [or] its component parts, to change the present Constitution in any manner in regard to the stipulation that members be of the male sex, and that merger with Tau Beta Sigma not be considered at this time.”

When Alder presented the jurisdiction report and read the proposal to section 7.02, the delegation sat in shocked silence. Finally, one member asked, “What does this mean?”

Alder responded that any member of the band in good standing may be considered for membership. There was little discussion on the amendment and less support as the amendment was defeated by over 75 percent of the voting body.

A moment later, Section 7.02 was amended by the delegation to read, “All active, alumni, inactive, and life members of the Fraternity be of the male sex.”

With this wording, the door was now open to constitutionally accept women into the Fraternity as honorary members. But the possibility of allowing women in as active members was closed.

The National Response Many chapters in the country began to feel the pressure of Title IX as their school administrations began to express their concerns about their lack of female members. Some chapters, such as the Alpha Chapter at Oklahoma State University, the Iota Chapter at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Delta Omicron Chapter at the University of Connecticut, were in danger of being forced to leave their university if they did not comply.

At the 1975 National Convention in Houston, Grand President Thomas Tyra made the issue of Title IX an important part of the convention.

He wrote in his report, “We need to consider the implications of the Federal Government’s Title IX Guidelines to the Federal Education Act which prohibits discrimination by sex in any honorary organization on a college campus which receives Federal funds.”

The Jurisdiction Committee, chaired by Mike Radice of the Epsilon Xi chapter at Miami University, made the recommendation that a committee be formed, comprised of an equal number of members of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma members to investigate the laws of Oklahoma in regards to corporate merger and to report their findings at the 1977 National Convention. However, due to the events that would take place at the 1977 National Convention, that report would never be read.

The National Student Advisory Committee, under the leadership of Glenn Anderson, National Member-at-Large, made many recommendations to help comply with Title IX. They recommended that all references to gender be removed from the national constitution; that Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma be restructured so that both organizations would have identical fee structures, national offices, and hierarchy; and that strong ties between joint chapters be encouraged.

But the hope for a single-sex organization was still in their minds.

They requested that the newly appointed National Executive Secretary, W. Frank Evans, investigate the lobbying efforts being organized to counter the Title IX guidelines. If the efforts seemed to be working, Evans was to establish the fraternity as a participant in that group.

However, in the Winter 1977 issue of The PODIUM, Evans addressed the issue of a hearing with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

“Hopes for obtaining such a hearing have been completely extinguished, and it has become imperative that the National Constitution be altered to delete all mention of specific sex,” he said in the article. “Chapters who have experienced Title IX problems during the current year can testify to the fact that they will not be allowed to operate on campus next fall if definite action is not taken. The altering of our National Constitution will not be the complete solution to the Title IX problem, and the lasting effects which will result from this action will need to be seriously considered.”

In preparation for the 1977 National Convention at the University of California at Los Angeles, Grand President Melbern Nixon wrote to J. Lee Burke on July 5, 1977, and asked for his help in dealing with two issues.

“It appears now that we will have two quite controversial subjects with which to deal,” he wrote in the letter. “One, of course, is the matter of redistricting. The other is the much more ‘sticky’ subject of merger. There are those who feel

quite strongly on both sides of the issue.”

On the opening day of the convention, the delegates were told that there would be a special joint meeting of the Fraternity and the Sorority on the morning of the second day to discuss the subject of merger.

The special meeting was held with speakers to present pro- and con- arguments before the joint delegation. Speaking in favor of merger was Scott Donaldson from the Eta Beta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at Virginia Polytechnic and State University. Speaking against merger was Brenda Joyce from the Psi Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma at the University of Arkansas and Michael Leckhum from the Delta Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at Eastern Michigan University.

The Nu Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi and the Lambda chapter of Tau Beta Sigma from the University of Michigan were approached to speak on behalf of merger, but they refused. After the 1973 National Convention, the chapter at Michigan had begun discussing and promoting merger to anyone who would listen. From 1973 to 1977, they tried to gain support for the idea, but eventually grew to realize that merger wasn’t the way to go.

“Our refusal to speak for or against in 1977 was due to our chapters’ growth to the concept of ‘fusion’ – chapters working together for the common good of the band program in whatever form was most appropriate for them,” Rich Alder explains today. “There was simply too much diversity in the country to dictate one way for all.”

The Michigan chapters also realized that merger would mean the end of one of the two organizations, or possible both.

A formal vote on merger was taken by secret ballot when the delegations split and went their separate ways. Both organizations voted overwhelmingly against merger. The Kappa Kappa Psi vote was 211 against and 9 for. The Tau Beta Sigma vote was 104 against and 4 for. The possibility of merger was officially denied.

In the days that followed, the Fraternity officially removed all gender references from the constitution by unanimous vote, finally making the national constitution compliant with the Education Amendments of 1972. Women were now constitutionally allowed to become active members of Kappa Kappa Psi in full and regular standing. U

tacy Sabraw lives in New York City, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Stacy is a freelance magazine copy editor and writer who works for such publications as In Style, Psychology Today and Fitness.

Stacy was initiated into the Zeta Delta Chapter at the University of Kansas and is a Life Member of ΤΒΣ.

As a student she served as Chapter Treasurer and four years as a District Officer including two years as Midwest District President. Since graduation, she has served as Midwest District Counselor, followed by a move to California and appointment as Western District Counselor, followed by a move to New York and appointment on the Strategic Planning Marketing Team and as a Colony Advisor for Marist College. Stacy was granted Honorary Membership in Kappa Kappa Psi by her brother chapter at KU, Eta Zeta, in 1989.

While in school Stacy played flute and piccolo with the Marching Jayhawks and the Concert Band. When she moved to California, she joined the L.A. Pierce Community College Band and got to be a part of such projects as recording a CD of Ragtime music and a music track for the Miss America Pageant.

Prior to her current employment, Stacy worked at Shape and Living Fit magazines in California and Conde Nast’s Women’s Sports & Fitness and eFit.com in New York. She makes health and fitness an important priority in her personal life as well.

In addition to serving in Tau Beta Sigma, Stacy volunteers for an agency for chronically ill and disabled children. She also enjoys reading, traveling, cooking, arts (concerts, movies, plays, museums), sports (go Jayhawks! go Packers!), taking visitors on tours of “the city,” trying new things (like an authentic fish & chips shop in the Village or a scuba diving class), and doting from afar on her four-year-old niece, Isabella.

Says Stacy: “The essence of Tau Beta Sigma is love. A love of music, service and people. All three of these elements touch our hearts. The music elevates us, the service rewards us with feelings of worth and accomplishment, and the people encourage, challenge, teach and reward us. As a new Board Member I hope to help keep and build on the foundation of the sorority for many music programs and members to come.”U

A Recap and a Look Ahead

by Kirk Randazzo ΚΚΨ National President

I

n Corpus Christi, Texas, the old biennium ended and a new one began, thanks to a tremendous national convention. The Brothers in attendance participated in several activities and attended many educational forums designed to improve the Fraternity and college and university band programs. Convention participants were invited to hear presentations by Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, Brett Sokolow, and Phi Mu Alpha President, Dr. Darhyl Ramsey. These presentations focused on the difference that one individual can make, issues surrounding college life, and the relationship between Kappa Kappa Psi and Phi Mu Alpha.

One activity that I am pleased to describe involves a change to the traditional committee structure at convention.

Several committees were turned into strategic thinking committees, and Active members joined with the Council in brainstorming new, long-term objectives, programs and goals for Kappa Kappa Psi. Each strategic committee focused a specific topics and discussed how the Fraternity would look if we had unlimited resources and lived in “Kappa Utopia.” I have had the opportunity to review the notes and reports from a few committees and am extremely pleased by the creativity and ingenuity demonstrated.

To complete the first phase of our transition into strategic thinking, the National Council and Board of Trustees met in September to review all committee reports and notes. It is my intention to incorporate your thoughts and ideas into our strategic meetings in order to better design, promote, and implement the projects and programs of the Fraternity. For those of you who served on a strategic committee, my thanks to you for assisting in developing the long-term direction of Kappa Kappa Psi. Another activity that I am please to announce involves our relationship with Phi Mu Alpha. We were fortunate to have Dr. Darhyl Ramsey, President of Phi Mu Alpha, attend our convention. Dr. Ramsey spoke about the new opportunities for cooperation between both organizations. I had the chance to personally speak with Dr. Ramsey after his presentation. We discussed options for increased cooperation and agreed that more can be done. As such, we scheduled our next meeting for December, at the Midwest Band Clinic in Chicago. Additionally, we have invited the Presidents of Tau Beta Sigma and Sigma Alpha Iota to join with us in discussing how to better promote and serve music and bands. I believe this meeting will be extremely productive and I look forward to further developing our relationships with the

other musical organizations.

Finally, let me say that I am very excited about the next biennium. The delegates at convention elected three well qualified, enthusiastic, and highly motivated individuals to serve as national vice presidents: VPCM Mike Osborn, VPP Deb Eakins, and VPSA Tony Roscoe. Additionally, with Rod Chesnutt serving as VPPR, our National Council is poised and ready to lead the Fraternity into the next millennium. It is my continued desire to involve Active members, Alumni members, and District Officers and Governors in all aspects of fraternal policy and direction. Hence, Kappa Kappa Psi enters the new biennium with Brothers working together for the betterment of college and university band programs. I hope that you all will continue to work with me and the National Council as we continue to strive for the highest. U

What's Up With Continuing Education?

by Dollie McDonald ΤΒΣ Chapter Field Representative

W

ant to make your chapter stronger? Want to be more bonded as sisters and brothers?

Want a new way to get everyone involved within your chapter? The secret: Post Initiate Membership Education or, as it is called in some other parts of the country, a Continuing Education Program.

Not all chapters have this program established, so you may ask "how do I get started?"

The first thing is for the chapter to appoint a member of the chapter to coordinate this program. For many chapters this individual could be the current membership educator, assistant membership educator, or even an elected official as the continuing education officer. The next item of business is looking at your academic calendar and finding a section of the year that is not focused on membership education. For some chapters who have candidate classes in both semesters of the year, choose a time before or after the candidacy. If your chapter has just one candidate class per year, then you can schedule your continuing education in the opposite term.

Next step is to set up the program. The Continuing Education Coordinator gets the chapter involved and organizes a schedule. You can choose for your program to last four, five, six, seven, or eight weeks long or longer.

Every week during your chapter meeting is a new area of focus. To get more of your members involved, have some of the members share some of their expertise to lead a workshop or session. These session can last anywhere from 15-30 minutes a week, either before or after each chapter meeting. Your various subject matters could range form music awareness, recruitment/rentention, leadership developement, communication, history, ritual, parliamentary procedures, membership education program, time management, and so on. Also many chapters incorporate sisterhood/brotherhood retreats during Continuing Education. Retreat activities can range from outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, ropes courses, canoeing, to indoor activites such as CPR/First Aid training, Musical Awareness Workshops, and Motivational Speakers.

Conducting a Continuing Education Program within your chapter will educate your members as well as bring them closertogether. This project has proven to be a great success to many chapters and I encourage you all to experience the magnitude it can bring individuals and your chapter TEAM! U

The Experience of a Lifetime!

by Derrick Mills ΚΚΨ Chapter Field Representative

D

uring the past year I have visited over 60 chapters and colonies, and with each visit, I feel that I have learned even more about our organization.

No two chapters are the same, and that is something that makes our fraternity unique. I also have enjoyed all of the interaction that happens at the various district conventions. This is a chance for chapters to share ideas and share in the experience of brotherhood outside of their own local chapter. When people ask me “What is the best part of being your CFR?” I tell them that it is to see and meet ALL of you.

Some other experiences that I have cherished have occurred while representing our organization, along with Col. Bonner and Dollie McDonald, at various professional conventions and events. This is where we get an opportunity to talk to band directors to spark some interest in potential colonies.

Your sponsors tell us that they are very pleased with the work that you do for college bands and are excited to learn more about the direction that the organization is going. I simply tell the band directors that the success of Kappa Kappa Psi is mostly based on your efforts on the local level.

Another highlight of past the year was continuing to improve the relationship with Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. In June, I had the privilege of attending the Leadership Conclave in Evansville, Indiana, home of “Lyrecrest,” Phi Mu Alpha’s National Headquarters. I was able to meet their headquarters staff and national council, participate in several leadership workshops and a music mission to a local hospital, and sing with the brothers in attendance at a concert where we premiered a commissioned piece. The highlight of the conference was my induction as an honorary member. I believe that we have a wonderful relationship with the brothers of Phi Mu Alpha on the national level and I hope that is the same on the local level. I encourage you to work with all the music organizations located on your campus. You will be happy with the result of a great relationship.

I wanted to share these experiences as a way of encouraging you to apply for the CFR position. The next CFR is reading this and is, I hope, learning how enjoyable and rewarding this position can be. It has taught me a lot about the fraternity and, more importantly, about myself. If you will have graduated by the spring of 2002, then you are eligible to apply. It’s the experience of a lifetime!

Take the Time to Thank Three People!

by Sylvia Halbardier ΤΒΣ National President

L

ike many sisters and brothers my age, I have attended half a dozen National Conventions or more. I really enjoy myself at each one. However, one stands out in my mind as teaching me something that I use in my daily life.

In 1993, a gentleman spoke to us about being a good member of a fraternity or sorority. I don't remember too much about him, personally. He was a very robust man. He seemed to fly from one end of the stage to other. He was very humorous, but his message was serious.

He told us how to start organizing our lives, and I use his suggestion to this day. I carry around 3x5 note cards with me, and any time one of my students tells me that they need something, or they have a concern, or anything that I need to be involved in, I write it down on a card. At the end of the day, I make sure that everything is checked off before I go home.

This has helped me develop a very productive relationship with my students. They know that everything that they say to me is something of importance. They don’t always get what they want, but they do know that I am going to try to help them.

That idea has helped me be productive, but there was one thing that he said that has made me happier in my personal life.

He told us to thank three people each day.

Think about that. How often do you thank the people around you for just being there? When you go to a store to select the shirt of your dreams, do you thank the people who are working? Did you ever think that maybe they are doing their job because they love watching people pick out their ideal outfits?

I know that we meet those people who don't like their job.

Maybe, I think, they haven't been thanked for their work.

Maybe I'm being naive. That's okay. I'm happier when I am thanking people for their work.

I was thinking about this when I was listening to Dr. Tim Lautzenheizer. He talked to us about how we improve our selfimage when we raise someone else's self-esteem. Making someone else feel good makes me feel great.

If you are the chapter president, give this idea a try. Write your thank-you’s on 3x5 cards and post them on the chapter bulletin board. Thank a member for something personal they gave to the chapter, something you know came from the heart.

So now I have my three thank you’s. Thanks, Mike, for a great magazine to read. Thanks, Chapter President, for making sure that everyone gets to see this magazine.

And finally, thanks to the delegates at the 2001 Convention, for making me smile and letting me rededicate myself to our mission to serve bands. It was a great big success because of you. U

Wava Award Goes to TWO Winners!

For the first time in history, the ΤΒΣ National Council chose to award the Wava Award to two individuals. Stacy Sabraw, elected at the 2001 National Convention to the ΤΒΣ Board of Trustees, was nominated for the Wava Award for service to the Sorority. Alan Harriet, also a new member of the ΤΒΣ Board of Trustees, was also nominated for the award.

Stacy Sabraw was initiated in 1985 into the Zeta Delta Chapter at the University of Kansas. She served as Chapter Treasurer. Her major was journalism and her instrument was flute and piccolo. She played in the Marching Jayhawk Bands and in the Concert Band. She was an district officer for four years, being District President for 2 years in the Midwest District, finishing up as District Counselor.

A Personal Letter from Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser to the ΚΚΨ and ΤΒΣ National Chapters September - 2001 To the Members of KAPPA KAPPA PSI and TAU BETA SIGMA: Believe it or not the summer is complete and the new school year is well underway. Undoubtedly you are "back in action" and working at full capacity as you juggle the responsibilities of academia, band, and personal lives...or perhaps they are all ONE IN THE SAME. Prior to leaving on this next speaking tour, I wanted to extend my heartfelt THANK YOU to EVERYONE for your wonderful reception and many kind words during our time together at the National Convention in Corpus Christi last July. Those of you who attended will remember the various problems I encountered in getting to you (compliments of Mother Nature’s wrath resulting in airline cancellations), but alas BAND PEOPLE ALWAYS RISE TO THE OCCASION and your extraordinary hospitality and fantastic response certainly compensated for any inconvenience in travel.

On my office wall are two cherished and meaningful documents that read: HONORARY MEMBERSHIP to: Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma. Thank you, and I mean: THANK YOU! I would be remiss if I did not extend a special vote of appreciation to the members of Kappa Kappa Psi for the humbling recognition: “The Distinguished Service To Music Award.” It is proudly displayed “center stage” in my parents’ home, for none of this would have happened without their love and support throughout my college years.

They love it!

Over the twenty-plus years of traveling around this nation, I have enjoyed magnificent experiences, memorable occasions, and I have met many fantastic people, HOWEVER our time together will always stand out as a high point in my professional career and personal life.

If there is anything I can do to repay the many favors owed, PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me. The debt board rests heavily in your favor. (1-800-233-7846) With best wishes and sincere thanks, I remain, (signed) Tim Lautzenheiser Attitude Concepts for Today STRIKE UP THE BAND!!!

Ed. note: Dr. Lautzenheiser was a featured speaker at the 2001 National Convention in Corpus Christi in July. He gave three spectacular presentations, in spite of having to drive all night from Houston and no sleep! He generated an incredible amount of energy among all of the attendees with his enthusiasm. He asked that I pass along his gratitude to the Fraternity and Sorority by way of including his letter in this issue of The PODIUM.

E>>>4A33E Grace and A Frank Martin Chapter Leadership Award Finalists

by Grace and A Frank Martin Chapter Leadership Award Committee

E

ach biennium the National Council of Tau Beta Sigma Sorority selects a set of finalists for the Grace and A. Frank Martin Chapter Leadership Award. This award was established in 1963 by Grace and A. Frank Martin as the “Chapter Leadership Trophy” and has evolved over the past 39 years to become the Chapter Leadership Award. At the 1999 Biennial Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, the National Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma voted to rename the Award in honor of Mrs. and Mr. Martin.

Fourteen chapters were selected as finalists for the 2001 Award: - Lambda Chapter at the University of Michigan - Rho Chapter at Indiana University - Chi Chapter at the Ohio State University - Psi Chapter at the University of Arkansas - Omega Chapter at the University of Arizona - Alpha Xi Chapter at Bowling Green State University - Alpha Omega Chapter at Florida State University - Beta Gamma Chapter at the University of Texas at Austin - Delta Zeta Chapter at the University of Kansas - Epsilon Epsilon Chapter at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania - Eta Alpha Chapter at Syracuse University - Eta Phi Chapter at Vanderbilt University - Theta Lambda Chapter at Auburn University - Theta Phi Chapter at Hampton University These chapters were selected by the National Council from a field of over eighty chapters, each of whom met the initial requirements of the reward: to meet all report and fee deadlines and requirements of the National Sorority.

These chapters distinguished themselves in their devotion to service, of their band, university, and community, and to the strengthening of the sisterhood on local, district, and national levels. The chapters are involved in the essential functions of their band programs: setup and teardown for rehearsals and performances, supplying or selling of breakfasts, lunches, water, and snacks on game days or at practice, and distribution, collection, and maintenance of uniforms. They organize banquets and receptions for their own and visiting bands as well as for parent weekends. They welcome new members of their bands to the campus and the band family by providing campus tours, welcome bags, and tuck-ins.

Several chapters offer awards and scholarships to outstanding college and high school band members, including

the presentation of F. Lee Bowling Awards. A few also publish newsletters and yearbooks for their bands, perform wake-up calls, and provide first aid kits.

Several chapters host or help host band invitationals and honors bands, assist in state music educator association honor bands and conventions, conduct instrument and guard demonstrations at programs for children and for the mentally and physically challenged. Nearly all chapters assisted Girl Scouts in earning their music badges. Other community service projects include blood, toy, and clothing drives, adopt-a-family or adopt-a-highway, walk-a-thons, seasonal caroling, and volunteering at community events. One chapter is involved with an organization that pairs college students and groups with individuals of differing abilities. The chapter jointly takes their paired person to organization meetings and to chapter meetings and events.

A few unique projects provided include serving as counselors for their university's high school band camp, painting music practice rooms for their university's music school accreditation, assisting with fund-raising for a commissioned work, bringing the Women in Music Speaker Series to the chapter level, organizing alcohol awareness and sexual health awareness weeks, and aiding in the move to a new band facility.

All of the chapters work closely with other music organizations at their school, whether Phi Mu Alpha, Sigma Alpha Iota, or their brothers in Kappa Kappa Psi. Most of the chapters nominated hosted a district convention or were recently selected to host their 2002 district convention and had or have sisters serving as district officers. One chapter even had the opportunity to serve as advising chapter to a successful colony.

Some of the chapters nominated are chapters who have consistently been strong and stable chapters. Others have been the product of a renaissance of sisterhood and service.

Some have only begun serving in Tau Beta Sigma in the past decade; others are celebrating decades of service. They range in size from 12 to 101 sisters. They serve 400 member marching bands, individuals performing senior recitals, and every size marching, concert, jazz, and symphonic band and wind ensemble in between. They represent what is outstanding about Tau Beta Sigma.

Congratulations to our Finalists, and special congratulations to the Theta Lambda Chapter, the recipient of the 1999-2001 Grace and A. Frank Martin Chapter Leadership Award. U

Inquiring Minds Want to Know ! Charles Hass Memorial Commission History Research Project Scholarship Established at Purdue

by Dixie Mosier4Greene

I

f your chapter or district has commissioned a piece that has since been published, we Want to Know!

Sometimes we find out about projects when the word leaks out via a chapter report or a district newsletter article. For example, we understand that the Syracuse chapters commissioned a piece after the Pan Am disaster over Lockabie, Scotland, but we know very little about it. On the other hand, the Alpha Iota Chapter of ΚΚΨ at University of Colorado, commissioned Frank Techeli to write a work after the tragedy at Columbine High School, and there has been great acknowledgement of his work, “An American Elegy,” as one of the most successful pieces published in recent years.

Our National Executive Director sent out an “SOS” in NewsNotes On-Line (vol. 1, no. 5, April 19, 2000; www.kkytbs.org/publications.html) for information about pieces our chapters and districts have commissioned, but the wires haven’t exactly been burning up with responses. We could really use the information to better promote ΚΚΨ and ΤΒΣ on a national level. Most university directors have a great respect for organizations that help develop the band repertoire, but, except for the National Commissioning Program, we are missing much of the history of our contributions to this repertoire.

Here’s what we Want to Know about these works: 1. Group responsible for the Commission 2. Name of composition 3. Composer 4. Year Commissioned 5. Date premiered (if known) 6. Premiere performance by (if known) 7. Publisher 8. Reason for commission (if known) 9. Any other relevant information There is an untapped wealth of music that came into being because of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma. This can be a great recruiting tool, but band directors aren’t going to play these pieces if they don’t know about them. If you have information on any published works that your chapter or district helped commission, please send it to ΚΚΨ and ΤΒΣ National Headquarters, attention: Commission History Research. Pass the word – share this wealth.

Remember: Inquiring Minds Want to Know! U

A

scholarship fund has been created at Purdue University to honor the ΚΚΨ (Gamma Pi) brother who was murdered last January in Oakland, California. Over $20,000 has been raised to establish a permanent endowment fund which will pay scholarship monies out of the interest. Half of the money was contributed by Charles’ mother, the other half from Charles’ many friends, including a special collection taken at the North Central District Convention last spring.

The idea for the scholarship came from Drew Mattison (ΚΚΨ Gamma Pi, '92) who was helped by Dave Mast, brother of NCD Secretary Treasurer Peter Mast. They generated publicity by distributing flyers and spreading word about it over the listserv and web site that were created for friends of Charles to mourn together.

Many details of the scholarship, including the exact amount, remain to be decided. It will not be an ‘audition” scholarship, nor will it be offered just to trombonists (Charles played the trombone), but the scholarship definitely will be offered to a student within Purdue’s Department of University Bands. According to Jay Gephart, Purdue’s acting Director of Bands and Gamma Phi sponsor, “The band community at Purdue is very close-knit because we have no school of music, unlike the other Big 10 schools. Charles was an integral part of that community, and Mrs. Hass wishes the scholarship to go to a student who exemplifies and emulates Charles’ spirit and his love of the Purdue bands.”

The scholarship will first be offered in the fall 2002 semester. U

Just a Couple of Roadies

by John Bowen and Brian Dorn Kappa Delta/Kappa Kappa Psi

D

uring our many recent chapter visits there has been one undeniable truth: every chapter maintains a verbal history passed down through anecdotes. The most recent addition to “The Tales of Kappa Delta” originated from our annual Casino Night fundraiser. While collecting donations at the local Mr. Goodcents for this event, two brothers were prompted with the question, “How does Kappa Kappa Psi enhance music scholarship at Northwest Missouri State University?” A response followed outlining the service projects in which we are involved. The storeowner interrupted the elaborate description by saying, “So…you’re like the roadies.”

At first this humorous simile seems oversimplified; however, as brothers we can learn some important lessons from these supportive followers. Paralleled in Kappa Kappa Psi are the new hires and weathered veterans working together to ensure concerts go off without a hitch. In doing so, roadies form a tight knit family, analogous to our brotherhood. By examining the roadie lifestyle we hope to gain insight into our fraternal bonds.

The life cycle of a roadie begins much as we would expect it to. An enthusiastic fan of music decides to devote his or her time to its promotion. Sound familiar? We too embark upon the path with these same ideals. What follows in both cases is a period of education centered on teaching the skills needed to be part of a well-oiled machine.

Often our membership education programs focus solely on the memorization of important facts and historical dates, much like the general education classes we all know and love. It is a disservice to neglect the significance of our teachings. Striving for a full understanding of where the fraternity has been will only better prepare us for what lies ahead. Great, but how do we accomplish this goal? For starters, we choose membership educators that have a strong passion for our lore and train them to be effective teachers. Then, shifting the paradigm from a class to an open discussion forum ensures that real learning occurs.

Re-evaluation of our chapter’s enlightenment process nurtures individual ownership of our mutual past.

Of equal importance for a membership candidate is the development of brotherly bonds. How can chapters encourage this most rewarding aspect of our order? There are, of course, a plethora of answers to this question. Like many chapters, Kappa Delta facilitates becoming aquainted with actives through interviews. It is always a testament to the “small world” paradox when seemingly different people discover similarities during these first moments as brothers; however, for this to occur the term interview needs to be replaced with exchange to emphasize the two-way nature of this activity.

Returning to our roadie analysis, we jump ahead in the life cycle to the seasoned leader stage. At this point in our journey we have become a source of guidance for novices.

Philosophies on leadership vary more than the ice cream flavors at Baskin Robins, but central to each is the development of caring, dependable, and loyal members. Whether head roadie, chapter president, or experienced active, the fundamental roles of a leader remain the same.

As current brothers we must aspire to become quality role models for our new and future colleagues. It should never be forgotten that the primary goal of our institution is to serve our university bands. The best way to stress the importance of this goal is to participate in the efforts of our local chapters; after all, we are not called “actives” for nothing. Unfortunately, it is easy to overlook brotherhood when concentrating on service. Finding the fulcrum of this seesaw is a challenge for everyone in Kappa Kappa Psi. On more than one occasion this year brothers of Kappa Delta have gone above and beyond the call of mere friendship. Through these demonstrations of support new members are led to a caring involvement in the chapter. Finally, we must not become lackadaisical in our academic pursuits. Ultimately as college students we desire to become alumni at some point.

It is also the privilege of the time-honored roadie to select the next generation. The best upcoming roadies are those who do not seem to notice the long hours despite their callused hands. Identifying participants in the band programs at our institutions who will fit this model is always an arduous task. An active recruitment style requires work up front to generate interest. Surprisingly, sometimes the passive actions of brothers are the most attracting to new leaders.

For some bandmembers, simply seeing us in action ignites a personal desire to serve alongside us. The toil of recruitment is worthwhile in the end because it ensures the longevity and upholds the standards of our beloved organization.

After the show roadies tear down, pack up, and rest momentarily, only to begin again with the same conviction as the brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi. It is with this in mind that we “Strive for the Highest.” We begin our life cycle as probationary members, growing as individuals with the help of an entire chapter. Later, we serve and mold the future of our fraternity as leaders. When it comes time to move on from our chapters, we take comfort in knowing that there will always be brothers to take up our reins. The masterminds of Roadie.net describe their lifestyle as “a thankless job with long hard hours of grueling physical work, lightly mixed with some of the most rewarding moments a human being can ever experience.” U

Ever wonder why people get involved in ΚΚΨ/ΤΒΣ and attended conventions? Dixie Mosier4Greene recorded these

Reasons Why… …I made placards for National Convention. (Chris Foster, Tau Chapter, ΤΒΣ) “When the request went out for host chapters, we knew it would be easy for us since we are so close. Sitting on the floor in the band office, printing off 300 signs, cementing cardstock to paint stirrers, talking about past national conventions – we felt important because we knew our efforts would benefit the Sorority and Fraternity.” …I chaired the Jurisdiction Committee. (Danielle Bitzel, NCD President, ΤΒΣ) “Chairing a committee is a great experience to learn about the organization and how it operates. Jurisdictions is the best way to learn everything you need to know. I have had a lot of experience in reviewing our own chapter constitution and chaired Jurisdiction Committee at the 2000 North Central District Committee. It can be frustrating but also very challenging to please everybody with the proposed changes.” …I became a District Governor. (Danny George, initiated fall 1988 Delta Sigma, ΚΚΨ, ΚΚΨ Life Member) “When Kirk Randazzo called and asked me to be the new Southwest District Governor, I said ‘yes’ immediately because it was an additional opportunity to be of service to the Fraternity and to the District. This is my sixth National Convention (not to mention the 13 Southwest District Conventions I have attended). I’m 32, but I am still involved because it has been a growth experience for me. Now I have the opportunity of teaching and learning with others going through the process.” … I worked on the NAA Silent Auction. (Michelle Kincheloe, NAA) “It’s an easy way to make money for the NAA for the Chapter Delegate Grant, the Special Projects Grant, and the NIB. I enjoy looking at all the donations, especially handcrafted items made by the brothers and sisters. The funniest part was the live auction at the Benefit Dinner in Corpus Christi when Sylvia Halbardier and Kirk Randazzo auctioned off 2 old NIB vinyl records, adding their own commentaries.” …I volunteered to be a Host Chapter Coordinator. (Trey and Jennifer Henry, SWTSU) “Since we are service-oriented chapters, we wanted to help. Sometimes sitting in the Computer Office was boring but we set up shifts so that no one missed too much; we

34—The PODIUM, Fall 2001

played a lot of cards and computer games. We thought it would be a great experience – and it was. We met a lot of people from all over the U.S. It has made us see the importance of working well together as chapters to get things done. …I wore that funny hat. (Jodie Boyer, Beta Sigma, ΤΒΣ Purdue) “A long time ago every freshman had to wear a beanie but the school, due to hazing problems, can no longer require that. So various organizations started having their members wearing beanies. Only four student groups at Purdue maintain that tradition as an option – so Gamma Pi, ΚΚΨ and Beta Sigma, ΤΒΣ, wear our ‘pots’ as wearable scrapbooks.

Every item attached to the hat tells a story about that person.

Just watch for us at any large meeting.” … I sponsor a chapter. (Dr. Robert Mangrum, Honorary October 1985 Zeta Beta, Honorary of Delta Epsilon, ΤΒΣ, in 1999, Life Member of ΚΚΨ, and Sponsor for Zeta Beta Chapter at Howard Payne University.)

“The kids are so good to work with. I enjoy staying young with them. Even though I am a history professor at Howard Payne and actually was never in band in high school or college, I was asked by the kids to sponsor the Zeta Beta Chapter. I was really supportive of the band program even when the band was very small and our football team was at the bottom of the conference. I have been the sponsor since 1985. In 1999 my chapter nominated me for Outstanding ΚΚΨ Sponsor for the Biennium – the plaque now hangs in my office. At one time I was sponsor for the Student Government Association and several other groups along with Zeta Beta, but I decided to give up everything except for Kappa Kappa Psi!” …I commissioned a piece of band music. (Donna Beth McCormick, March 10, 1957, Beta Gamma (#6), Life, Member of ΤΒΣ) “There are three things I love in life: my cats, the Democratic Party, and the Longhorn Band. So when the opportunity came to do this for ΤΒΣ, my first thought was to dedicate it to Beta Gamma (I’m a Charter Member) and to my “Little” Patsy Hejl who went on to be National President and a member of the Board of Trustees. Every year I go back to the ΤΒΣ luncheon after Alumni Band and they want to hear the stories of the olden days when there was only 10-30 girls in the Longhorn Band and 100+ boys. I played the flute and still do in the Alumni Band.”

…I serve as Convention Parliamentarian (Judy Krech Dulcich, Zeta Xi, ΤΒΣ, Member of ΤΒΣ) “I serve because I love the Sorority and it is a way that I can continue to contribute. I so strongly believe in the skills that ΤΒΣ gives to college students, especially at Conventions; I like to see them learning and developing into leaders. I started doing it at the 1993 National Convention at Purdue and am willing to go on giving back to the Sorority as long as they ask me. [Judy got her J.D. at the University of San Diego and is currently a deputy D.A. for Kern County, California (Bakersfield), specializing in murder and sexual assault.] …I came to my second National Convention. (Aryn Copeland, age 3 [yes, like the composer but spelled differently]) “Mommy and Daddy brought me from Bucyrus, Ohio. I came last time because they made me and I was only one year old. This time I got danced in the aisles when the jazz band (U.S.A.F.) starting really rocking. I liked the seahorses at the Aquarium and the airplanes on the U.S. Lexington. We flied the airplane in the sky [to get to Corpus Christi]. I’m ready for a nap now.” U

The PODIUM, Fall 2001—37

The Past Is Alive and Well!

Dixie Mosier-Greene caught up with many ΚΚΨ and ΤΒΣ alumni at National Convention. Here is her report: Hiram Henry was invited to the 2001 National Convention by the ΚΚΨ National Council.

He started college at Oklahoma A & M in 1936, working summers to pay his tuition. His room and board totaled $20 a month; his parents contributed $6 and he made $15 at a job. When he lost that job, he knew it meant dropping out of college. He went to Boh Makovsky to explain leaving school, and Boh created the job of music librarian on the spot and offered it to Hiram. The new job just happened to pay $15 a month!

Richard Worthington was invited to the 2001 National Convention by the ΚΚΨ National Council.

He was initated January 14, 1940 into the Nu Chapter at the University of Michigan. He was District Governor in what is now the Southwest District. Delta Sigma Chapter at University of Louisiana at Monroe made him an honorary of ΤΒΣ in 1971. The Lambda Chapter at the University of Arkansas bought him a Life Membership, back-dating it to 1940. “Doc” served as President of the “Grand Chapter” of Kappa Kappa Psi 1971-1973. He was Director of Bands at Northern Illinois for a year, and for fourteen years at University of Arkansas. He retired as Director of the School of Music at the University of Louisiana, Monroe, after seventeen years. He conducted Monroe Symphony for twenty years and the South Arkansas Symphony for fourteen and played clarinet in a community band for many years. He was also made an Honorary of the Beta Nu chapter at VanderCook College in Chicago (now defunct). Just ask him to see all his membership cards! He is now Chief Flight Instructor at the Monroe Air Center.

Carla Robinson, past National President of ΤΒΣ, was initiated into the Alpha Gamma Chapter at Kent State University, the first black woman in her chapter. After serving as Chapter Treasurer and Chapter President, she lost out in a race for District President to Bonner Schuler (who would become a National President.) She stayed involved after graduation and ran for National Council in 1979, being elected to the position of National Secretary. She was National President from 1987 to 1989. She will never forget having to go back into separate session after the banquet at the1989 National Convention – the discussion of the Ritual went on and on and on and on!

38—The PODIUM, Fall 2001

Timothy Greenwell, Jr. , past National President of ΚΚΨ, was initiated into the Eta Zeta Chapter on October 23, 1983, at the University of Kansas. He was President of the Midwest District 1987-1988 and District Governor 1990-1991. He was elected to the National Council at the 1991 Convention at the University of Maryland. He was elected National President at the 1995 Convention in Orlando.

Tim was privileged to bury the Time Capsule located at the National Headquarters in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Despite torrential rain ending less than an hour before the presentation, a crowd of 200 participated in burying the items, not to be opened for 25 years.

Jean Newman, past National President of ΤΒΣ, was initiated into the Zeta Xi Chapter at San Diego State University on May 8, 1982. She majored in Liberal Studies and played the bass clarinet in the Wind Ensemble and alto sax in the Marching Aztec Band. She was District President of the Western District in 1985-1987. She ran for National Council in 1987 at the University of Michigan and became National President in 1993 at Purdue University. Jean presided over the first National Convention at a hotel site.

The weather was impressive: NIB rehearsed in a tent by the swimming pool in Florida heat. Everyone survived the hurricane although the Disney All-American College Marching Band spend the night on the floor at Disney World to ensure they could open the Convention marching in, led by Mickey Mouse.

& Elsewhere…

Casey Blankenship, ΚΚΨ’s first Chapter Field Representative, is now the Residence Life Coordinator in the 850student Bragaw Hall,at North Carolina State University.

Casey, his wife Tracey and their two children, Macy and Casey II, will be living on campus in Raleigh. Casey will be starting work on his doctorate.

Casey was initiated into the Eta Omicron Chapter of ΚΚΨ at James Madison University and served as Chapter Sponsor for the Iota Phi Chapter at the University of New Hampshire.

The PODIUM, Fall 2001—39

We will always remember...

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and victims of the recent terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The above photograph of the New York City skyline was taken by Dollie McDonald, ΤΒΣ Chapter Field Representative, on September 9, 2001, two days before the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma have commissioned noted composer Donald Grantham to write a wind band work as a memorial to those who lost their lives and the many fire, police, and EMS personnel who participated in rescue and recovery operations. See the story on page 10 for further details. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
