♦ Former student returns
to this college to play trombone
with a jazz quartet.
Jazz trombonist Ron Wilkins and his
jazz quartet will perform selections
from his latest compact disc, "Ron
Wilkins: A Tribute to the Masters," at
7:30 p.m. Monday in the auditorium of
McAllister Fine Arts Center.
"It's like a homecoming," said
Wilkins, who attended this college in
1975.
Wilkins has taught jazz clinics at
colleges, universities and high schools
around the world and calls himself a
jazz and music educator.
Wilkins has played trombone in the
San Antonio and Austin area for more
than 20 years in symphonies, jazz
ensembles and big bands. He has
played twice at the Tejano Music
Awards.
"You have to be like water, being
able to form into any shape and con-
form to it," he said. "You have to be
malleable to be in this business."
He has played with the
Temptations, Jerry Lewis and Bob
Hope, and he also recorded with more
than 100 artists in 20 years.
The jazz quartet that will perform
Monday is unusual because it encom-
passes four sizes of trombones, includ-
ing a bass trombone and a "pea shoot-
er" tenor trombone.
"A lot of jazz quartets have a trum-
pet and a saxophone, but you don't see

Gammon helped with the crew in another theater
production called "Captain H20."
This is theater and communication sophomore
Tiffany Kroner's fifth performance at this college.

ideal man would be an actor.
She said this will be her last show at this college

ter.

Morris.
Morris said Stella is looking for adventure and to
see the world because she is bored with her mar-

of plays.
"It's always fun, no matter what part you play,"
she said. "Everyone becomes a family."
