A fusion
of old and new
With a long list of outstanding accomplish-
ments, alumni and faculty, an invitation to
the 2009 World Saxophone Congress seems like it
would be in the cards for the band. An extra perk
not expected, however, is that the bands flight and
lodging expenses are being fully funded by the Mahidol University's College of Music and corporate sponsor, ThaiBev, accord-
ing to Scott
"It's the best in Thailand," Scott said of the Imperial Queens Park Hotel where the One O'Clock Lab Band will be staying
during the duration of their trip.
While the mention of Jazz might bring an image of a bustling New Orleans atmosphere to mind rather than a booming indus-
trial city in South East Asia, Bangkok Thailand has a cherished jazz scene of its own perhaps not quite as popular as the one in
Louisiana.
Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej is an avid and passionate saxophonist himself who plays with local Thai musicians
every weekend and composes his own music. About five years ago, the One O'Clock band had the privilege of meeting King
Adulyadej at a different concert. Band members hope to see him this year as well.
Together all 19 student members of the band, Scott, the band's manager Craig Marshall and professor of jazz saxophone Brad
Leali make up the talented
group that will represent UNT
half way around the world.
"I am excited and nervous,"
recent UNT graduate Michael
D'Angelo said. D 'Angelo
plays the drums in the One
O'Clock Lab Band. His per-
formance in Bangkok will be
his last with the band due to
his recent graduation and thus
the removal of his student sta-
tus; he will not participate in
the regular fall auditions.
"It is bitter sweet," he said.
"But I think it's great that I get
to leave on this note. This is
definitely my last hoorah."
Clancy shares his bandmates
enthusiasm.
"I'm pretty excited to see
and experience another cul-
ture," he said.
