hostrauser Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Probably belongs more in Open, but this deserves visibility... September 20' date=' 2012Press Release[/size'] ________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Mr. Nathaniel Lewis Tel: 323-288-7231 Email: CitySound@City-Sound.org *City Sound Drum and Bugle Corps and California State University Dominguez Hills, adds a drum and bugle corps class to their University curriculum. Executive Director of Los Angeles Youth Arts Organization Nathaniel Lewis, in a collaborative relationship with California State University Dominguez Hills, has recently completed negotiations offering students college credit, for completing one season of marching with City Sound Drum and Bugle Corps (Drum Corps International “DCI” Member and a division of Los Angeles Youth Arts Organization) This first of its kind of program here in the City of Angels, has been made possible through the hard fought efforts of Executive Director Nathaniel Lewis and Dr. Richard Kravchak, Professor and Chair, Music Department, California State University Dominguez Hills and President, College Music Society Pacific Southwest Chapter. This undertaking is one of the most innovative student music programs to hit Los Angeles in many years. Being a state with the unavailable financial means to have the Arts in every school, this class is targeted at providing a completely new musical opportunity for all students, who enroll at California State University Dominguez Hills, and sign up for the Drum and Bugle Corps class. And with CSUDH’s “Open University” policy this opportunity is extended into the community for all ages of students to take a part of. It has recently been said to be “one of the best new student music programs in the city of Los Angeles for years”. "With the addition of City Sound, through MUS 195 we'll now have a year round marching program to offer our students and the community," says Dr. Richard Kravchak. For those who have always wanted to march in a DCI Drum and Bugle Corps, or engulf themselves in the creation of instrumental music and dance, this is the perfect opportunity to thoroughly explore the incredible possibilities, and the long term knowledge of music and marching, all while enhancing every student’s musical abilities and indoctrinating a sense of self-discipline during the corps summer tour and continuing through the fall pursuing their own professional career goals at the university. Beginning October 2012, the two organizations will work together to provide a high quality musical education for all students enrolled in the class provided by California State University Dominguez Hills. April Radics (City Sounds Member Relations Manager) stated, “The work ethic we have in City Sound combined with the skills that will be learned at CSUDH, will go a long way toward preparing students for life in corporate America.” ________________________________________ *Those interested in auditioning for the City Sound 2013 season and/or learning more about the credited Drum and Bugle Corps Classes at California State University Dominguez Hills, please visit http://www.city-sound.org call 323-288-7231 or send an email to CitySound@City-Sound.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
