Lawyer, lecturer teaches from experience By Glen Tadych Assistant Trends Editor The path from professional musician to lawyer to college instructor has been a winding road for one Texas State adjunct lecturer in the School of Music, but one full of opportunities for him to show off his talents and passion for music. Born in Houston on June 22, 1950, Stephen Summer joined the world of music following his graduation from Bellaire High School in 1968. He decided college was not for him after briefly attending the University of Houston, and went on to live the life of a professional musician. “Music really permeated the culture back then,” Summer said. “The culture was receptive to everything and I feel very fortunate to have lived in that time.” Summer played drums for decades with groups such as Kirk Whalum and Group Session in the mid-80s, The Brew in 1989 and Beto and the Fairlanes from 1992 to the present. The beginnings of Summer’s history with Texas State began during his time with Whalum in Austin. Keith Winking, a trumpet performance graduate who became Texas State’s Director of Jazz Studies in 1991, met Summer while performing in an adjacent club on Sixth Street in 1983. After his gigs, Winking often watched Kirk Whalum and Group Session play, taking notice of Summer’s skill and chemistry with the group. “They were one of the best groups I’d ever seen,” Winking said. In 1989, Summer returned to college to finish his bachelor’s degree. At that time, Winking was teaching part-time in Texas State’s music department and working to build the school’s jazz program. When the two recon-
nected, Winking suggested attending Texas State and offered Summer the opportunity to become involved with the school’s jazz ensembles. Accepting Winking’s offer, Summer began attending Texas State in 1989, making an impact as soon as he arrived. “Having Steve here really raised the standards of the program,” Winking said. Summer was tentative about re-entering the collegiate world. Failing his first history exam led Summer to question where he was, but he pushed on, unconquered by self-doubt. Soon, he began to make a home out of San Marcos. He moved from Austin, regularly played gigs and in 1992, graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in applied arts and sciences. In 1991, Winking got the school’s jazz band accepted to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. However, Summer’s father passed away in June 1991, less than a month before the group departed for the festival. Summer still accompanied the group to Switzerland despite the loss. It was a rare opportunity to spend time with his close musician friends, perform at the festival and spend nine days in Montreux. “It was one of the best trips of my life,” Summer said. Summer continued his education, earning a master’s in jazz music education from The University of Texas in 1995. That same year he met his wife, got married, had a baby girl and gave thought to starting a career in law. In 1997, after considering other schools, Summer chose South Texas College of Law. He and his family then relocated to Houston where Summer spent the next three years obtaining his law degree. “Law school was not easy, particularly because I was coming from being a musician, and I felt like such a fish out of water,” Sum-
mer said. Upon graduating in 2000, Summer and his family moved back to Austin, where he was hired as an associate with a small law firm. After two years, Summer left and established Stephen Owen Summer, P.C., specializing in estate planning, business law, copyrights and entertainment law. In 2009, Summer re-entered the world of Texas State. The instructor for the Business in Music class was leaving, and Senior Lecturer Hank Hehmsoth, having played music with Summer for years, asked him to come back and teach the course. “There are only about three lawyers who are entertainment lawyers in Austin, and Steve just seemed like the right guy,” Hehmsoth said. Summer thought teaching this course would be a way to give back to young musicians and consequently accepted the position.

Jazz festival to feature students, award-winning saxist By Fiona Riley Trends Reporter This Saturday, Texas State students will have the chance to perform with a Grammy Award-winning artist. The Texas State Jazz Ensemble will be performing at the Hill Country Jazz Festival with Vincent Herring, alto saxophonist. Herring is known for his energetic performances and has recorded 19 of his own CDs and played on more than 240, according to his website. “He’s worked with a lot of the major band leaders in the history of bee-bop, and post-bop in the last couple of decades that he’s been playing,” said Rus-
sell Haight, Texas State Jazz Ensemble director. The festival takes place on Saturday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in Evans Auditorium. Admission is free. Ensemble members want the performance to be memorable, and are not taking the easy route with their choices of music for the festival. “They’ve risen to the occasion,” Haight said. “We talked through this program of music, and we could have chosen a slightly less challenging path, but everybody wanted to take the more challenging path, and do some more ambitious repertoire.” The ensemble has only been prac-
ticing since the start of the semester. They have had to work extra hard to ensure they’re prepared for the weekend, Haight said. Besides Texas State students, the invitation to play in the festival is extended to high schools and middle schools. Keith Winking, music professor, believes the festival will benefit the students by providing them the opportunity to meet and network with professionals. Winking founded the festival in 1990, and continues to run it today. He first set up the festival because he was surprised at how little jazz there was in the area. “I thought there was a need for a fes-
tival, for groups to come play and to create interest among other schools,” Winking said. Students like Altin Sencalar, music performance freshman, are excited about performing at the festival. Sencalar performed at the festival with his high school band last year, which is what influenced him to apply to Texas State. “I was planning on attending the University of North Texas, but Freddie Mendoza, the jazz trombone (senior lecturer), talked to me, and now I’m here,” Sencalar said. “I told myself ‘If I go to Texas State I want to play in the festival again,’ and I reached my goal.”
The Avenue is proud to offer San Marcos' best amenities package for today's student.

Sharon Reynolds-Enriquez Hollywood script supervisor By Jordan Gass-Poore’ Trends Reporter Near the end of 2006’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” the Kraken, about to eat Jack Sparrow, is completely wet and slimy in one scene and dry in the next. The fictional sea monster’s showdown with Sparrow is one of hundreds of continuity mistakes that can occur in movies. Don’t blame Sharron Reynolds-Enriquez. The Texas State theatre alumna worked as a script supervisor on the Disney sequel, a job that required her to observe every shot of the film closely and take detailed notes to provide the director and editor with a reference to prevent flubs from happening. She said mistakes can occur during post-production of a film and aren’t always the result of the script supervisor. Despite the “Huh?” moment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” went on to win an Oscar, an achievement not unknown to Reynolds-Enriquez, who also worked on the Academy Award-winning films “The Social Network” and “L.A. Confidential” in her more than 30 years in the industry. She recently spent seven months traveling throughout the Southwest desert working on the upcoming Johnny Depp-fronted film, “The Lone Ranger.” JGP: How closely do you work with the actors? Do you work on a one-on-one basis with them? SRE: At times I do work one-on-one with them. I’m always paying attention to their dialogue, their matching and continuity. If they do something that’s not quite right or they need to be coached as far as the dialogue, they’ll ask me for a line or I’ll have to go up and say, “No you didn’t have that in your right hand. You had it in your left hand.” So, I work very closely with actors all the time. JGP: Through the relationships formed with the actors, do they recommend you to the directors of the films they’re working on? SRE: Occasionally they do. Johnny Depp was trying to get me on the film that he did, the Hunter (S.) Thompson movie (“The Rum Diary”) that was filmed in Costa Rica. He wanted me to try out, but I had already committed to Gore (Verbinski) to do “Lone Ranger.” So, yes, occasionally they will. Not request me, but put me up for it and have me meet the director. And Brad (Pitt), because I had actually worked with him before. We have a relationship. So, it’s good. I mean, it’s fun when you do that. JGP: Is there an audition process for script supervisors? SRE: Yes. I go in and I have an interview. It’s just a plain interview. I usually interview with the director, who is usually the person

that hires me. Sometimes I will interview with the director and the producer. I just went in on a pilot a couple of weeks ago, and there were so many people in the room I couldn’t even tell you who they were, but I interviewed with a whole group of people. But most of the time, it’s the director and the producer. JGP: What is your first reaction when you see the final film you’ve worked on and you start noticing continuity mistakes? SRE: I hate going to films that I’ve worked on because I do watch for all that stuff. If it’s a film I’ve worked on, I can’t really get lost in the story because I know everything that’s going to happen. I’ll watch it and say, “Oh, god, that was the day it was pouring rain outside, and we were in this horrible place.” And also, I watch for continuity problems in movies that I work on. That’s kind of my focus. JGP: When did you first move to L.A.? SRE: I made the decision to move to Los Angeles before I got there (with the 1978 horror comedy “Piranha,” filmed primarily at the former Aquarena Springs Amusement Park). When I worked on “Piranha,” I enjoyed the filmmaking experience. I enjoyed the atmosphere, even though it was very difficult, and I wasn’t making much money at the time, but I enjoyed those people. They said, “then why don’t you come to Los Angeles?” The casting director and I became friends. I moved in with her in Los Angeles. So, I kind of had a network to go to out there, which really pushed me in that direction. I had graduated from school. I wasn’t really doing anything. I was a Kelly Services temp secretary. I hated secretarial work. This fell in my lap, and I just went.

She experienced a sense of community within the resort’s staff and likened the tight-knit group of managers and interns to a “family.” The internship is paid, and after the cost of Disney-provided housing is taken out of the cast member’s paycheck, they still have money to pay for food, buy souvenirs or take home at the end of the program. “It’s cheaper than what you would pay for rent here,” Harmon said. “It’s all inclusive (of bills). So, once your rent comes out, literally the only bill you have to pay is food. Other than that, you get into the Disney parks for free.” Harmon said her experience with the Disney College Program is still helping her as she applies for jobs today. “I’ve gotten every job I’ve interviewed for since,” Harmon said. “People associate Disney with knowing how to get things done.”

SOFTBALL
Texas State focuses on starting new season strong By Odus Evbagharu Sports Reporter Texas State softball won the Southland Conference last year, but started their 2012’s campaign dropping five of six contests. This year the Bobcats are hoping to start off the season on a better note. The team will get a chance to do just that at the Hilton Houston Plaza Classic. The tournament will be hosted by the University of Houston from Feb. 8-10 and will officially begin the Bobcat’s season. The Bobcats will face the University of Iowa first, their only meeting of the tournament. The Hawkeyes own a 2-0 all-time record against Texas State. The last time the teams played was in 2010 when Iowa put up four runs, winning 4-1. Now-senior first baseman Haley Lemons drove in the only run in the game for the Bobcats. “We do want to show the other teams that we are ready,” Lemons said. “We’ve been preparing for this season since this summer. I think for us, we just need to focus on playing the game that we need to play. I think the rest will take care of itself, whether we play Iowa, Houston or whoever.” The Cougars and Texas State will see each other three times in the Classic. Houston leads the all-time series
11-8, with the two teams splitting last year’s matchups. The Bobcats won the first two games in the Texas A&M Invitational, and the Cougars prevailed in the next two games in Houston. Senior pitcher Anne Marie Taylor pitched in one of the meetings last year. She went six innings, gave up six hits and struck out six in the 2-0 loss to the Cougars. “It would be nice to win all these games this weekend,” Taylor said. “We are going to have to focus in our practices. If we can do that, we can definitely get some wins this weekend.” Texas State will play Lipscomb University on Saturday. The Bobcats have never played Lipscomb, and this will be their only matchup in the Classic. “This will be an interesting tournament,” said Coach Ricci Woodard. “You don’t really know what to expect because you only see (Texas State) play each other for the past four months. I kind of never know what to expect. I would hope to think that things would go our way. I have a lot of kids that are excited to get on the field, and we will see where we are at.” The ball club was picked to finish first in its only appreance in the WAC conference, and the players are determined to start the season strong. The team knows expectations are high and wants to start things off the right way
in this tournament. “I expect to win all the games,” said senior outfielder Brooke Baker. “I know we will play hard. I hope we will start the season strong and do well in this tournament.” The University of Louisiana-Lafay-
ette is the fifth team in the tournament. The Bobcats are not scheduled to play the Ragin’ Cajuns this weekend, but will see them in next week’s 27th Annual Louisiana Classic. Twitter: @odus_Outputs

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Bobcats attempt to rebound against UT Arlington By Bert Santibanez Sports Reporter Coming off Saturday’s defeat to the University of Denver, Texas State women’s basketball will host the University of Texas—Arlington Thursday, a team the Bobcats have already defeated this year. Rebounding and slow starts have become an issue in recent games, but Texas State hopes to eliminate such mistakes. “If we would’ve started off better in the second half in more games, we would’ve blown teams out basically,” said freshman guard Ayriel Anderson. “We need to get ourselves motivated defensively in the beginning of games.” In their previous meeting, the Mavericks’ only conference win in 2013, UTA outrebounded Texas State by a 52-37 differential. It was the Bobcats’ first time playing without junior Ashley Ezeh, who was out with a knee injury. Before her injury, Ezeh was second in the WAC in defensive rebounds and third in offensive boards. The Texas State squad has been without Ezeh on the active roster for the previous six games. In those six, the Bobcats have been out-rebounded by their opponent for a combined 277-
212. Twelve of Texas State’s 13 losses this season were because of failure to win the rebound game. Texas State allowed 23 secondchance points in its six-point loss to the Mavericks. Mavericks junior Briana Walker notched a double-double in the affair, putting up 14 points and 16 rebounds. Walker is second in rebounds for the Mavericks, averaging 5.4 per game. “The most important thing with (Walker) is to move our feet and not foul her,” said Coach Zenarae Antoine. “Force her into difficult shots and box out and rebound. The one thing we didn’t do was a good job with boxing out. There are times when the offensive player gets the rebound out of sheer hustle, but we didn’t even make it difficult for her.” Although the Bobcats have been struggling on the boards during Ezeh’s absence, other players have been contributing to the offense and rebounding. Freshman Erin Peoples is coming off two straight double-double outings, a combined 27 points and 21 rebounds. “Erin’s just a tough kid and a hard worker,” Antoine said. “She’s very good with accepting instructions. If you put her to task, she’s going to do the best she can. She’s going to do it
for herself, family and Texas State, and that’s what you have to love about her. And she’s always ready to go to work.” Texas State has had difficulty in recent games with putting points on the board early. In its last four games, Texas State has averaged 26 points in the first half. In the second half, Texas State averages just shy of 34 points per contest, almost a 10-point differential. The Bobcats will face Louisiana Tech University Saturday, Feb. 9, in Texas State’s annual Pink Game for breast cancer awareness. Louisiana Tech comes into the weekend with a 6-4 conference record, 10-11 overall. Former New York Liberty WNBA star Teresa Weatherspoon brings the Bulldogs to San Marcos in her fifth full season as head coach.
