Jazz Ensemble performs variety of musk
by Heather Jordan
Last Thursday evening the
Wesleyan Jazz Ensemble gave
their first performance of the
year in the Fine Arts Audi-
torium. The band, directed by
Randy Mitchell, played a variety
of music ranging from blues to
rock ballads.
According to Mr. Mitchell, the
selection was of a wide variety
in the hopes to appeal to many
people. The purpose of the per-
formances, from the students
point of view, is to teach im-
provising and style, both of
which are important in jazz
The band consists of 15 mu-
sicians, not all of which are
music majors. Ramon Carillo and
Cliff Hackler play alto saxo-
phone. Clayton Husband plays
the tenor saxaphone and Joe
Ralph Martinez plays the bari-
tone. Playing the trombone is
Alan Stiebing, James Weather-
man, and Terry Tackett. Carrie
Speck, Derek Santos, Alan
Meyer, and Scott Strlttmatter
play the trumpet. The piano la
played by Kevin Rogers. Playing
the bass is Alex Weinert. Drums
are played by Robbie Clemmer
and Mark Hines.
The band plana to have at
least one more concert. They
alao hope to visit aeveral high
schools and perform to recruit
new members. For those who
missed the performance, a tape
of the concert is on hand in the
listening lab in the Fine Arts
Building.
The jazz ensemble practices
twice a week on Tuesday and
Thursday. They receive credit
for the class.
Omni Theater film features shuttle footage
•RACE SHUTTLE CHALLENGER (remote manipulator arm on right)
pastes over the African Coast after the successful deployment of the
Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) satellite In April, 1914.
The awesome beauty and thrill-
ing sensations of space flight
are captured and conveyed in
THE DREAM IS ALIVE, a new
film that opened November 7 in
the Omni Theater at the Fort
Worth Museum of Science and
History. The film, which is seen
on an eighty-foot domed screen
and features spectacular in-flight
footage shot by specially trained
NASA astronauts, will offer
Omni Theater audiences and un-
precedented "window seat”
aboard the Space Shuttle.
Narrated by Walter Cronkite,
THE DREAM IS ALIVE provides
an insider's view of America's
Space Shuttle program, from a
behind-the-scenes look at launch
preparations to a pilot ! eye-view
of a Shuttle landing.
Audiences viewing THE
DREAM IS ALIVE will “expe
rience" the weightlessness of a
zero-gravity environment, and
will look down upon the Earth
from more than 200 miles out in
space. The experience of viewing
the images from space in the
Omni Theater's dome has been
described by various astronauts
involved in the filming as "the
closest thing to being there."
Included in the film are re-
markable scenes of astronauts
at work both inside and outside
the spacecraft: the deployment
of scientific and communications
satellite: the dramatic capture
and repair of the "Solar Max"
satellite, and the first space walk
by an American woman astro-
naut, Kathy Sullivan.
The better part of a year was
spent training a total of four-
teen astronauts assigned to three
separate Shuttle missions In the
proper operation of the IMAX&
camera system, which is con-
siderably more complex than the
conventional 16mm and televi-
sion camera system used on pre-
vious missions. The IMAXO film
frame is ten times larger than
that of 35mm film and three
times larger than that of 70mm
film, creating Images of unsur-
passed clarity and impact
Not all of the awe-inspiring
scenes in THE DREAM IS ALIVE
were taken in space. The film
also includes a landing sequence
shot from the nose of a specially
equipped jet airplane flown on
the same flight path as an actual
landing Space Shuttle, and three
memorable Shuttle launches, in-
cluding a spectacular night
launch and liftoff filmed by a
remote camera atop the launch
tower.
THE DREAM IS ALIVE is the
product of an unprecedented
partnership between public- and
private-sector institutions. With
the close cooperation of the Na-
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration, which has had a
long-standing commitment to en-
able the general public to share
a sense of participation in
America’s space program, the
film was produced and directed
by Graeme Ferguson of Imax
System Corporation for the
Smithsonian’s National Air and
Space Museum. The film, which
vividly records the sensations of
space flight in a way that con-
ventional still and motion pic-
ture photography has been un-
able to convey, was funded by
the Lockheed Corporation and
the National Air and Space Mu-
seum as a public service.
SACRED SITE, a short film
which uses time-lapse cinematog-
raphy to explore the range of
light and motion in the night
skies, will be shown accompany-
ing THE DREAM IS ALIVE. The
seven-minute film focuses on the
1988 apparition of Halley's comet
over central Australia, and was
directed by Ron Fricke (direc-
tor of the critically acclaimed
KOYAANISQATSI) at Ayers
Rock, sacred site of the Abori-
gines, and of comet watchers
from all over the world.
