Fighting Okra Records CD Release Party
2010-11-16 20:30 | DMI Studio A
$ 5.00 Admission includes debut CD
Fighting Okra Records (F.O.R.), a student run record label from the Delta Music Institute (DMI) at Delta State University, will showcase its first CD project, “Okra Medley, Volume 1: Fighting Okra Fusion” during a release party at 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 16. in Studio A of the DMI, housed in the Whitfield building on the campus. With Fighting Okra Records being in its first semester, student staff members assembled a compilation CD for their first release. “Okra Medley, Volume 1: Fighting Okra Fusion” contains 17 original songs from current DMI students and alumni representing a wide range of genres including Gospel, R&B, Hip-Hop, rock and country. Songs on the CD were chosen after multiple screenings by the student A&R department, and were selected on the basis of lyrical content and recording quality. With sponsorship from community supporters including Larry Vaughn, Attorney at Law, The Bean Counter, and 21st Century Cleaners, Fighting Okra Records was able to successfully achieve their initial goals for manufacturing their project. Kimberly Mitchell, a Delta State graduate from Columbus stated, “I am honored to be one of the fortunate few whose track has been chosen to appear on Fighting Okra Record’s first CD. The Delta Music Institute has provided me with so much, and I believe the least I can do is sincerely thank them for guiding me in my musical journey.” Joanna Sabine, a current DMI student who is also a part of the F.O.R staff, is a featured artist on the CD. She commented, “I feel really honored to have been selected to be on the CD. The group of people I work with are all talented musicians themselves and to know that they chose my music as good enough to be included on the CD, it’s just wonderful.” DMI Director Tricia Walker has served as the faculty advisor for the young label during their first semester. “The lessons the students learn by having this be a real-world project are invaluable. I’m proud of what they’ve put together on this CD.” The public is invited to come out and celebrate Fighting Okra Records and the release of the label’s first CD. For more information about Fighting Okra Records, please contact the DMI at (662) 846-4579 or visit www.fightingokrarecords.com.

Seeing Red by Jane Robbins Kerr
2011-01-23 08:00 - 2011-03-31 17:00 | Charles W. Capps, Jr. Archives & Museum
Seeing Red Jane Robbins Kerr Red…the color of life, energy, passion, danger, courage. I have chosen red because even a tiny bit of the color in a photograph brings new life to the image. Red travels the world crossing cultures, beliefs, old taboos. Today I feel the infusion of life in these simple photographs. I am seeing Red!

Third Annual Big Band Bash
2011-02-19 19:30 | The Warehouse, 229 North Sharpe Avenue in Cleveland, MS
The third annual Big Band Bash and fundraiser for the jazz program at Delta State University will be held at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 19, at The Warehouse, 229 North Sharpe Avenue in Cleveland.
Cost of admission is $20 per person (doesn’t include dinner). Seating and dinner service will begin as early as 6:30 p.m., followed by the Big Band at 7:30 p.m. All donations benefit the Delta State Jazz program and the Department of Music.
The Bash is a dinner and dance that brings back to life a time when swing was king and the music of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Tommy Dorsey ruled the airwaves and filled the dance floor. The Delta State University Jazz Ensemble, also known as the Fighting Okra Big Band, is again the feature band for the evening.
This year the director’s baton has been passed from “Trumpet King” Paul Hankins to saxophonist Bret Pimentel. Pimentel, in his second year as faculty in the Department of Music, earned his doctorate in music performance at the University of Georgia. “I have heard a lot about this performance, and we are very excited about playing at the Warehouse again,” said Pimentel. “We are working up a great music folder and everyone will hear plenty of Basie, Ellington, Dorsey and Miller. This should be fun for the public and the band.”
Fans of that big band sound can dance or just sit and tap their toes while ordering fare from a special Warehouse menu. Prizes will be given to the best dancers and the best-dressed. “I’ve come to this the last couple years, and we all had a wonderful time. That band is outstanding and we danced for three hours. We are definitely going back,” said Ed Coleman, President, Mid South Water and Irrigation. If you like Basie, Dorsey and Miller and are fond of good food, you won’t want to miss this.
For information and tickets, contact Rogers Varner at 662-846-6636 or the Department of Music at 662-846-4615.

DMI Anniversary Celebration featuring Thacker Mountain Radio Show
2011-03-05 15:00 - 16:00 | Whitfield Studio A
Thacker Mountain Radio, the acclaimed live radio show based in Oxford, will return for its third annual Delta Edition broadcast at 3 p.m., Saturday, March 5, from Studio A at the Delta Music Institute (DMI) on the campus of Delta State University.
For over ten years, Thacker Mountain Radio has produced a live, unrehearsed broadcast that features author readings and a wide array of musical performances. The free show is normally recorded and broadcast weekly from Off Square Books in Oxford, but will relocate for this special show in DMI Studio A as part of the institute’s spring fundraiser for student scholarships.
This year’s featured literary guest is Leland native Culpepper Webb, author of the acclaimed work “Lifted From The Waters.” Musical guests are brothers Bryan “Beaches of Cheyenne” Kennedy and Gordon “Change The World” Kennedy. Both Kennedy brothers, sons of music legend Jerry Kennedy, have won multiple Grammy awards for their songwriting and producing.
Thacker Mountain’s house band, the Yalobushwhackers, features the Delta’s own Duff Dorrough. Joining the band for this special Thacker edition will be former Tangents keyboard player and Delta native Jim “Fish” Michie. They will be backing the show’s musical guests as well as playing featured performances of their own.
Thacker Mountain is hosted by Jim Dees and is broadcast live on Rebel Radio 92.1 FM and rebroadcast statewide on Mississippi Public Broadcasting at 7 p.m., on Saturdays.
The Delta Music Institute began with a generous donation by Fred Carl of the Viking Range Corporation. The focus of the DMI is to provide students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, business, and creative areas of the music industry.
The public is encouraged to come be a part of this entertaining broadcast to support the Delta Music Institute. For more information on the Thacker in the Delta event, please call (662) 846-4579 or visit dmi.deltastate.edu.

The Barber of Seville
2011-04-12 19:30
Gioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville proves to be the finest comic opera in existence! Anything, anytime, anywhere… Whatever you need, just ask Figaro, Seville’s most famous barber and jack-of-all trades. The lovely Rosina and handsome Count Almaviva have marriage on their minds, but sadly, Rosina is promised to the elderly scheming Dr. Bartolo! In comes Figaro, and through a series of disguises, foibles, and follies he liberates Rosina from her gilded cage into the arms of her beloved. From start of finish it is marvelously crafted, brilliantly inventive, and uproariously funny.

Information Meeting: DSU 2012 Summer Study
2011-09-02 12:00 - 13:00 | Holcombe-Norwood Hall, Room 151
Vienna is one of the world’s foremost centers of art, architecture and music, home to some of the greatest museum collections in the world. Now a bustling modern city, Vienna was once the capital of the Habsburg empire, the relics of its glorious past – Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces and churches, majestic boulevards, a range of historicist buildings, and Art Nouveau architecture – endow the city with a rich historical dimension and offer the opportunity to study several centuries of art history in one place.
Over the course of 2 weeks, we will visit many of Vienna’s great museums including the Kunsthistorische Museum, whose holding include numerous examples familiar to students from their art history survey classes, the Belevedere’s collection of Sezession artists Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka, the new Museumsquartier, home to several museums dedicated to modern and contemporary art, take a field trip to the Roman legionary city of Carnuntum, immerse ourselves in the Middle Ages with a visit to a fully furnished medieval fortress, see various Baroque churches, tour a Rococo palace that rivals Versailles in France, compare the historicist buildings along the Ringstrasse, and explore the complexity of fin-de-siècle Vienna as exemplified by its Art Nouveau architecture and the work of the Sezession artists.
Of course, a visit to Vienna is not complete without also partaking in the local culture, thus we will attend the opera one evening, sample the local cuisine, sip coffee at real Viennese Kaffeehaus, tour a wine cellar and sample some of its offerings.
Participants can earn up to 6 academic credit hours for this trip by registering for a variety of art and art history courses.
To learn more about this program, attend a first informational meeting on Friday, September 2 at 12:00 pm in 151 HNA
or contact Michaela Merryday at 662-846-4722 or via mmerryday@deltastate.edu
Dates for a second meeting will be announced.

Songs of the Patriot: An Exhibition of WWII Sheet Music
2011-10-01 08:00 - 2011-11-30 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum Building, Main Gallery
In a collaborative effort between the City of Cleveland’s Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum and Delta State University’s Archives & Museum, Alumni Foundation, and the Veteran’s Atrium, "Songs of the Patriot: An Exhibition of WWII Sheet Music" will go on display October 1st. Although vintage sheet music is the heart of the exhibit, additional objects on loan or from the collections of the Archives and the train museum will enhance the visitor’s experience. This nationally traveled exhibit is free and open to the public through November 30th in the Veteran’s Atrium in Jobe Hall and the main gallery in the Capps Building. The exhibit at the Railroad Heritage Museum will run through November 12th. Songs of the Patriot takes viewers back in time to the American wartime fronts at home and abroad during World War II through the cover art and lyrics of popular sheet music from 1940 to 1945. The exhibit explores how music publishers, songwriters and cover artists expressed a range of American wartime feelings from anti-war statements to rallying support for troops overseas. It also explores the booming sheet music industry, printing and chromolithography, and the significance of piano playing as a form of home entertainment. Wartime songs captured snapshots of various American attitudes. Themes ranged from pacifism and neutrality at the beginning of the war, to aggression towards the Axis powers, to the hope of loved ones returning home safely. Sheet music covers were the perfect medium for visually interpreting songs that at times could be serious, sentimental or even comical. Whether driven by personal feelings or meeting the demand of the huge music-buying public, these composers and artists were part of a thriving business in which great sums of money were being earned by the music publishing industry. The Politics of Music After the widespread success of songs during World War I, such as "Over There" and "It’s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary," the U.S. government had recognized the power of music during wartime. Historically, the role of music often took on greater importance during trying times because of its ability to reach all levels of American society. In the spirit of patriotic propaganda, the government used images and songs to steer the nation’s collective mind to boost morale and garner support for the war. Unique to World War II, the government commissioned and published songs and even officially sponsored song writing contests. In 1942 the War Department’s Bureau of Public Relations published a pamphlet titled "Music in the National Effort" providing suggestions for communities to use music to keep spirits high for citizens and departing soldiers. Music was the perfect medium for propaganda, which had become a refined tool by World War II. Knowing this, President Franklin Roosevelt called upon the entertainment industry and its celebrities to help rouse patriotism and mobilize the American people. Fighting for Victory at Home Home front efforts were to play an important role in victory. Citizens were called upon to conserve resources, to take on factory jobs producing goods for the military and to help pay for the war. The Treasury Department used songs and sheet music covers in its campaign to promote the buying of war bonds and stamps. Lyrics urged Americans to, "Scrape up the most you can.buy a share of freedom today." "Everyone can help to win the war. Let’s begin investing in the things our country’s fighting for." Covers often had small Treasury logos encouraging Americans to "Buy War Bonds and Stamps for Victory." A "V" for victory symbol and "Minuteman at Concord" figure were typical. Even the back covers of sheet music were used to spread messages, "For Victory, Buy United States War Bonds." By the end of these campaign drives, 8 out of 13 Americans had invested in bonds totaling over $185 billion dollars As a World War II song proclaims, "Millions of voices are ringing, singing as we march along. We did it before and we can do it again." These kinds of messages were able to spread from home to home through the united voices of a nation. For more information contact the DSU Archives at 846-4780 or the Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum at 843-3377.

Informational Meeting: Art, Architecture & Culture of Vienna: Summer 2012 Study in Vienna, Austria
2011-10-10 17:30 | Holcombe-Norwood Hall, 151
Vienna is one of the world’s foremost centers of art, architecture and music, home to some of the greatest museum collections in the world. Now a bustling modern city, Vienna was once the capital of the Habsburg empire, the relics of its glorious past – Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces and churches, majestic boulevards, a range of historicist buildings, and Art Nouveau architecture – endow the city with a rich historical dimension and offer the opportunity to study several centuries of art history in one place.
Over the course of 2 weeks, we will visit many of Vienna’s great museums including the Kunsthistorische Museum, whose holding include numerous examples familiar to students from their art history survey classes, the Belevedere’s collection of Sezession artists Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka, the new Museumsquartier, home to several museums dedicated to modern and contemporary art, take a field trip to the Roman legionary city of Carnuntum, immerse ourselves in the Middle Ages with a visit to a fully furnished medieval fortress, see various Baroque churches, tour a Rococo palace that rivals Versailles in France, compare the historicist buildings along the Ringstrasse, and explore the complexity of fin-de-siècle Vienna as exemplified by its Art Nouveau architecture and the work of the Sezession artists.
Of course, a visit to Vienna is not complete without also partaking in the local culture, thus we will attend the opera one evening, sample the local cuisine, sip coffee at real Viennese Kaffeehaus, tour a wine cellar and sample some of its offerings.
Participants can earn up to 6 academic credit hours for this trip by registering for a variety of art and art history courses.
To learn more about this program, attend a first informational meeting on Monday, October 10 at 5:30 pm in 151 HNA or contact Michaela Merryday at 662-846-4722 or via mmerryday@deltastate.edu Dates for a second meeting will be announced.

The event is set up so that children attending have the opportunity to hear stories and be involved in hands-on activities related to the stories. Delta State University students from the elementary education and the child development programs are the readers and activity leaders. All children ages 2 – 8 are invited to attend. We do ask that one parent or guardian remains with the child. Children are invited to wear their pajamas and enjoy the "bedtime" stories. Cookies and milk are served at the end of the hour.

First Tuesday: Echoes of War: Student Voices from World War II
2011-11-01 12:00 - 13:15
The Delta State University Department of Art and DSU Library and Archives will host a First Tuesday program “Echoes of War: Student Voices from World War II”. This collaborative presentation by the University Archives and the Division of Social Sciences and History will be held in the Charles W. Capps Jr. Archives and Museum Building on Tuesday, November 1 from 12:10-1:30 p.m. Reading from letters written during World War II, current students will give a voice to those students who put their college careers on hold in order to serve their country during WWII. The letters are from the Miss Virginia papers held in the University Archives and include those letters written by Miss Virginia Thompson, who served University President Dr. Kethley. Miss Virginia wrote to each student soldier, sharing news of the home front and the student soldiers wrote back to her. In celebration of the Year of the Student, this program provides insight into what being a student-soldier was like as well as little bits of information on the climate on Delta State’s campus during war years.
