4 welcome message

year’s PASIC a greater success. Please share your appreciation with these individuals if you have the op-portunity at PASIC 2008. Support of this vision is critical, and the many percussion compa-nies and manufacturers who are PAS Sustaining Members dedicate great amounts of time, energy, and money investing in PAS and PASIC. On behalf of the Board of Directors and our entire membership, I want to acknowledge and thank these Sustaining Members for their sup-port and sponsorship, as well as the hundreds of exhibitors who trans-form the exhibit hall into the Inter-national Drum and Percussion Expo. Be sure to plan your days to visit the exhibit hall, where you’ll experience the largest collection of new instru-ments, music, and products ever assembled. Please take a moment to thank these sponsors and exhibi-tors for providing so many wonderful opportunities for your enrichment at PASIC. Lastly, I want to thank you, the members of PAS and the many PA-SIC participants and attendees, for making PASIC the unique experi-ence it is. PASIC is a time and place for sharing of concepts and ideas with our colleagues, to renew old friendships and make new ones, to become more involved in PAS and the world of percussion, and to be renewed and inspired by new prod-ucts, publications, provocative think-ing and ideas, and the incredible artistry of our greatest performers. I hope you will enjoy and celebrate your unique community at PASIC 2008!

Welcome to Aus-

tin, Texas and our 33rd Percussive Arts Society International Convention! PASIC 2008 is a celebration of 47 years of PAS and is the second time we have held our annual con-vention in Austin. Last time, in 2006, Austin proved to be a great city for PASIC, and we’re looking forward to our four days together at PASIC 2008. Again this year, the lineup of world-class artists, clinicians, workshops, exhibits, meetings, performances, and concerts are guaranteed to provide memorable experiences for all who are attend-ing and participating. PAS is about community, and there is no greater community of percussion and drumming enthu-siasts than the one you’ll find at PASIC. As we come together to share our music and friendship, it is important to recognize those who make your PASIC the greatest per-cussion event in the world. PASIC wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of Jeff Hartsough, PAS Director of Event Production & Marketing, Patrice Bey, PAS Program and Events Manager, and their staff. These individuals work with the PAS Executive Committee and Executive Director Michael Kenyon and his staff in Indianapolis to create a vision for each PASIC from the hundreds of applications and incredible proposals for PASIC sessions received from individuals, groups, companies, and PAS Com-mittees. After months of refining and planning they implement this vision at PASIC through the diligent work of the many volunteers on the PA-SIC Logistics Team who make each

WorldPercussionEnsembleCompetition

Purpose: To encourage, promote and reward the highest level of percussion education and musical excellence among high school and collegiate non-Western percussion-based performing ensembles from around the world.

CompetitionCategories:High school and college/university non-Western percussion-based performing ensembles.

Award:One high school or college/university ensemble will be invited to perform at PASIC 2009 (November 11-14th) in Indianapolis, IN. The winning ensemble will be featured in a Showcase Concert (50 minute maximum program length).The selected ensemble is expected to assume all financial commitments (room, board and travel), organizational responsibilities, and to furnish their own performance equipment. PAS will provide one piano (if needed), music stands, chairs and one announcement microphone.

Eligibility:Non-Western percussion-based ensembles are encouraged to apply under the following guidelines:• All ensembles that apply must be affiliated with a high school, college/university.• Students must be enrolled in the school of the ensemble in which they are performing.• Students may not participate in a percussion ensemble from more than one school.• All ensemble members who are either percussion majors (collegiate) or members of the percussion section of their high school music programs must be members of PAS.• The director of the ensemble must be a PAS member and may perform as a member of the ensemble.• Professional guest artists are not allowed to participate as performers on the submitted application recordings.• Mixed ensembles (e.g., ensembles that comprise performers other than percussionists, such as dancers, vocalists or wind players), as well as ensembles that perform more than one type or genre of non-Western music are encouraged to apply; however, in these cases a majority of the ensemble members must be percussionists.• Ensembles selected to perform at PASIC 2009 may apply again in 2012.High school and collegiate/university based ensembles who participate in this competition are encouraged to also submit separate applications for other PASIC appearances, which will be evaluated independently of this competition. Community and professional ensembles are encouraged to submit applications for PASIC clinics and performances, but will not be con-sidered for the purposes of this competition.

Procedures:1. SubmitsixidenticalunmarkedandindividuallyprotectedDVDrecordingswithanon-identifyingmenuselectionscreen.The DVD must be of a live concert recorded from a single camera angle and should not exceed more than 30 minutes in length. Only DVD recordings made since January 2008 are eligible for the competition. All compositions and/or movements must be performed in their entirety. Include official programs from concerts of the performances from which the recording was taken for verification of above requirements. DVD recordings become property of PAS and will not be returned.2. Submitted DVD’s will be numbered at the PAS offices to ensure anonymity.3. DVDswillbeevaluatedbyapanelofjudges. The panel will be directed to give preference to the musical aspects of the performance over the extensive use of props, costumes, and choreography. While performance may include culturally appropriate dances, judges will be advised to focus upon the dancers’ interaction within the overall musical esthetic of the ensemble. Judges will be directed to lower the score of any ensemble that predominantly features the skills of a performing director over the skills of the student members of the ensemble.4. Ensembles will be notified of the results in June, 2009.

Armand Zildjian (1921-2002)

Armand Zildjian’s introduction into the world of music

came at a very early age. Born into the Zildjian

family with a 350-year-old tradition of cymbal

craftsmanship, it was always understood that

Armand would follow his father Avedis into

the family business. For Armand, it was

an honor to match cymbals for the great

symphonies and to collaborate with the

greatest drummers of the day to develop

the new cymbal sounds musicians were

looking for.

In receiving his honorar y Doctorate

from Berklee College of Music in 1988,

Armand told the Berklee students how

very fortunate they were to have the op-

portunity to study contemporary music.

“In my day”, said Armand, “the classroom

was primarily the nightclubs where all the

great musicians learned from each other.”

As a charter member of the Percussive Arts

Society and a 16 year Trustee of Berklee College,

Armand sought to create more learning opportunities

for today’s musicians both in contemporary and classical

music. The PAS Armand Zildjian Percussion Scholarship is one

step in fulfilling that quest.

PAS/Yamaha Terry Gibbs Vibraphone ScholarshipLegendary vibraphonist Terry Gibbs began his career at

the age of 12 after winning the Major Bowes Amateur

Hour Contest and subsequently began touring

professionally. He performed for many years as a

drummer and percussionist until his affinity for

bebop motivated him to return to the vibes and

subsequently become recognized as one of the

best ever to grace the genre of bop.

After World War II, Gibbs toured with Buddy

Rich, Woody Herman, Louie Bellson, Benny

Goodman and formed his own band for the

Mel Torme television show. Gibbs led his own bands in the 50’s and in 1957 formed the critically acclaimed big band

“The Dream Band”. Throughout his career he has enjoyed world acclaim playing with jazz luminaries, Buddy DeFranco,

Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie, Horace Silver, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones and Tito Puente.

Terry Gibbs is a Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame member with 65 albums to his credit, winner of three major jazz

polls and creator of over 300 compositions. This scholarship is in honor of the indelible mark Gibbs has left on the

world of vibes.

100 historyofthepercussiveartssociety

history of the percussive arts society

Now in its 47th year, the Percussive Arts Society (PAS) is a non-profit, music-service organization whose mission is to promote percussion education, research, performance and appreciation

throughout the world. Today, the society is 9,000 members strong, with 50 chapters located across the United States and an additional 24 chap-ters outside the U.S. PAS publishes two bi-monthly publications, Percussive Notes and Per-cussion News, and maintains a comprehensive Website of percussion education resources. The society maintains a percussion museum and archive library and presents percussion-based programming in the local community. Each year PAS hosts the largest percussion convention in the world, the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC), featuring the top names in drumming and percussion. In addition, do-mestic and international PAS chapters host Days of Percussion and other clinics in their regions throughout the year. The fourteen percussionists and educators who met for dinner at the 1960 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago could scarcely have imagined what the PAS would ultimately grow into. Their goal was sim-ply to discuss the possibility of establishing a national organization that would “bring up to date the present standards in solo and ensemble contests, stimulate a greater interest in percussion performance and teaching, and promote better teaching of percussion instru-ments.” In January, 1961 during the SW-MENC convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a meeting was held at which Jim Sewrey suggested the name Percussive Arts Society to Remo Belli. Following this meet-ing, Robert Winslow, a profession-al percussionist and North Hollywood band director who served as an educational advisor to Belli, sent a letter proclaiming: “The Percussive Arts Society is open for business,” and in Sep-tember, 1961, the society sent its first publication, Percussive Arts Society Bulletin, printed on a mim-eograph machine donated by Belli, to the membership. The fourteen originating members listed in the first Percussive Arts Society Bulletin were Remo Belli, Warren Benson, Mervin Britton, Robert Buggert, Don Canedy, Rey Longyear, Charles Lutz, Jack McKenzie, James L. Moore, Verne Reimer, Jim Salmon, Hugh W. Soebbing, Charles Spohn, and Rob-ert Winslow. After three Bulletins, the administrative and publication duties of the society were transferred to Donald Canedy, percussion instructor and band director at Southern Illinois University. In April of 1963, Canedy, with the advice of a distinguished editorial board and an able group of contributing editors, published the new PAS journal, Percussionist (later called Percussive Notes Research Edition). In 1967, James L. Moore’s al-ready successful magazine, Percussive Notes, became an official PAS publication. Canedy served as de facto president through 1964, when, at the De-cember Percussive Arts Society meeting in Chicago, a constitution was adopted and officers were elected. Gordon Peters became the first Presi-dent of PAS, Jack McKenzie took the position of First Vice-President, and Canedy was named Executive Secretary. Also elected were a board of directors and an editorial board. With this structure, the society became increasingly influential, expanding its committee activities to address im-portant percussion issues and making policy decisions that would result in important contributions to all areas of percussion. Beginning in 1971, performances and clinics called Days of Percussion were held in conjunction with the yearly business meetings. In 1974, the first Percussive Arts Society National Conference (PASNC) was held in Anaheim and at California State University at Northridge. The PASNC

Pictured above are several of the fourteen founding members of the Society. (left to right, near side of table) Remo Belli, Jack McKenzie, Don Canedy, Mervin Brit-ton, (left to right, far side of table) Hugh Soebbing, Vern Reamer and Sid Lutz, and Kenneth Leisen.

evolved into the Percussive Arts Society International Convention that we know today as PASIC. The first PASIC was held in 1976 at the East-man School of Music in Rochester, New York, and was hosted by John Beck, the Eastman School, and the New York State PAS Chapter. In 1972, PAS established its Hall of Fame to recognize the contribu-tions of the most highly regarded professional leaders in percussion per-formance, education, research, scholarship, administration, composition, and the industry. The awards are presented every year at PASIC. Since 1974, the PAS Composition Contest has encouraged the creation of hundreds of new works, many of which have become part of the stan-dard percussion repertoire. In 1979, the PAS Marching Percussion Committee appointed the PAS International Drum Rudiment Committee to act as the governing body in the revision and standardization of the 26 rudiments. A new listing of 40 International Drum Rudiments was adopted by PAS in 1984 and included drum corps, orchestral, European, and contemporary drum rudiments. For its first two decades, the PAS office was located primarily in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1981, the society’s success and growth brought about the need to hire a staff to handle the society’s day-to-day operations. So PAS rented office space in Urbana, Illinois, where then vice-president Tom Siwe was a teacher at the University of Illinois. In 1989, the society

was informed that its office would no longer be available and a move was required. Through PAS board member Dr. James Lambert, the McMahon Foundation in Lawton, Oklahoma was solicited for pos-sible support for the construction of a headquarters and museum fa-cility in Lawton. Upon approval of the PAS Board of Directors and ap-proval of a 2-for-1 matching grant for construction, PAS relocated and the Percussive Arts Society In-ternational Headquarters and Per-cussive Arts Museum were officially opened August 8, 1992. Instrument donations to the mu-seum quickly used up all available display space, so an addition was constructed, adding another 4,000 square feet to the museum. The

expanded museum reopened in August, 1995. Another addition to the building was completed in 2001. During the early 1990s, in the early stages of the Internet, PAS was at the forefront of the emerging technology with the development of the World Percussion Network (WPN), a bulletin board system that allowed PAS members to share information via computer modems. With the de-velopment of the World Wide Web, PAS developed a Website (www.pas.org) that contains publication archives, research databases, a conference center, museum tour, and other features. In 2005, after a nationwide search and formal proposal process, the PAS Board of Directors elected to relocate the headquarters, museum, and library to Indianapolis where, for the first time, PAS would be able to operate its headquarters, house its museum and library, and present its annual convention in the same city. PAS moved its operations in 2007, and the new museum with its now extensive collection of instruments from around the world and library of archives, scores, and recordings will be open for PASIC 2009 in Indianapolis. In addition to the Hall of Fame award, each year at PASIC the society presents four awards to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions in service to PAS or the field of percussion: Outstanding Service Award, Outstanding Supporter Award, Outstanding Chapter President Award, and the President’s Industry Award. PAS also recogniz-es outstanding educators through the Lifetime Achievement in Educa-tion Award, which is the society’s most prestigious award next to the Hall of Fame. Today, The Percussive Arts Society has seventeen standing commit-

tees that address specific areas of percussion performance, research, ed-ucation, pedagogy, and the percussion community. PAS committees play an essential role in advancing percussion through the development and dissemination of the latest information, research, and initiatives. In addi-tion, PAS continues to support percussion education through a variety of chapter activities as well as through a number of scholarships. In addi-tion to the annual Composition Contest, PAS has added Solo, Ensemble, and Marching Percussion contests that are held each year at PASIC.

The society maintains strategic partnerships with Drum Corps Interna-tional (DCI), Winter Guard International (WGI), Music for All, the Percus-sion Marketing Council (PMC), Music Educators National Conference (MENC), and the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). PAS is the world’s largest percussion organization and is the central source for information and networking for percussionists and drummers of all ages.
