- Description:
- Trumpet Consort von Humboldt focuses on the baroque trumpet -- having no valves or any moving parts -- and a rich tradition of centuries of music for trumpet. This “whole consort” uses replica trumpets made by David Edwards (London) of the 1667 English trumpet in copper and silver by Simon Beale. TCvH has also used trumpets in Bb and C, low F, high D and Eb, and piccolo Bb and A. TCvH joined Oregon's Jefferson Baroque Orchestra in a rare performance of Handel's “Royal Fireworks Music” and has assisted in concerts in Sacramento and in Davis. An ongoing quest has been to perform, as brass players did so famously in the old days, from civic towers, so TCvH has performed from towers on the campuses of U. C. Berkeley and Stanford, in both cases also with carillon. Dr. Cline gained practical experience in baroque trumpet performances, often as a soloist, with Seattle Baroque, Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Musica Angelica Baroque (Los Angeles), Trinity Consort (Portland), Jefferson Baroque Orchestra (Ashland), San Francisco Bay Area ensembles Magnificat and American Bach Soloists, the Oregon Coast Festival, and the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival. Instrument of the court and professional guilds, the true trumpet (7-to-8 foot folded trumpet) uses the upper two octaves of the harmonic series. This long trumpet is the one employed in works by Bach, Handel, and so many others up until the time of Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn -- when the clarinet (a name deriving from the high “clarino” trumpet) usurped the trumpet as a prominent wind instrument. TCvH achieves authentic sounds by not using nodal vent holes found on other baroque trumpets used by many professionals, and enjoys playing one-handed. Other TCvH elements are use of specialized baroque trumpet mouthpieces (different from modern ones) with a much larger throat (hole/bore) and a larger shank and outlet, and tuning bits and crooks. Our Beale trumpets, like genuine old trumpets, have no venturi/taper; except for the bell flare they fit the acoustical descriptor of being cylindrical, unlike modern trumpets and other baroque trumpet replicas.

- Description:
- Humboldt Bay Brass Band (HBBB) is comprised of the U.K. standard two dozen brass players and three percussionists, and performs a wide variety of music: middle ages, renaissance, baroque, and up to contemporary and cutting edge. Unlike other so-called “brass bands,” a true brass band has no woodwinds, and all brass parts (even tubas, called basses) are in treble clef; as with saxophone, players may easily switch instruments, using consistent fingerings. The conical cornet, facile and light, is employed for the highest parts -- serving much the same role as violin in orchestra, or flute and clarinet in (wood) wind bands. This formulaic instrumentation (analogous to symphony orchestra or jazz big band) ensures good tonal balance, is required for competitions, and is useful for ready availability of published music. Band programming in the U.K. tends to be polarized toward crowd pleasers (marches, orchestral transcriptions, etcetera) on one end, with difficult test pieces on the other end. HBBB explores these extremes and is adding a body of locally-produced works, including original compositions, editions of early music, and arrangements of historical music pertaining to Humboldt County -- arranged, edited, and composed by Dr. Cline. HBBB was formed after an inspiring 2002 sabbatical trip to England to museums, instrument collections, the Royal Northern Conservatory, trumpet makers, brass bands (both observing and playing with), and the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain at Royal Albert Hall in London. Both HSU and community brass players (including George Ritscher, who possesses a brass band music library far exceeding what HSU owned) subsequently expressed interest in forming a brass band. Established in 2003, HBBB recorded a full length audio CD, has been featured on local access TV broadcasts and also on a world-wide-web pod cast, and has presented many concerts. Meeting for Fall and Spring ten-week seasons, members include HSU students and other leading brass players from Eureka, Fortuna, Ferndale, and Redway to the south, and Crescent City and Brookings, Oregon to the north.

- Description:
- The following description, provided by Sandy Vrem, accompanied the exhibit of U.S. political campaign memorabilia, 1896-2004. "Scid’s Collection My grandfather, Scid Fulton, started collecting campaign buttons when he was a teenager in the early 1900’s. He grew up in a small town in upstate New York where most of the residents were Republicans; as a result he ended up with more republican buttons than democratic buttons. He would display the buttons in a storefront window every election year. When he died in 1969, my mother, Priscilla Fulton Jung, continued with the responsibilities of the collection. She displayed the collection in the public library. On June 15, 1993 my mother’s house was struck by lightning and caught fire. I remember talking to my brother while the firemen were still putting out the fire and reminded him that part of the collection was in my old bedroom where most of the flames were located. Most of the buttons were saved, but you can see the water damage on some of them. In 1994 the collection was passed on to me: I had to research the elections and redo the display boxes. The collection has been on display at College of the Redwoods during the past three elections, since I was on the faculty there, and now they are here, at the HSU library. This is not only a piece of U.S. history, but part of my family’s history. Campaign Buttons The political buttons of the early 19th century were sewn on clothing. They were made of brass, horn, or rubber and were stamped or molded with designs. The first campaign buttons as we know them were made in 1896 when William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan were running for president. These buttons were made of celluloid, a thin, transparent covering that was used to protect an image printed on paper. Usually the image was a photograph of a candidate. From 1896 to 1920, a wide variety of color inks and intricate designs resulted in buttons that were outstanding for their beauty. Lithographed buttons, which were made by printing color on tin, were blamed for the demise of the celluloid buttons. In 1920, presidential campaign buttons were mainly lithograph tin buttons. During the 1930’s and 1940’s three inch buttons became popular. Also the exclusive use of red, white and blue made all the buttons look alike. These two trends troubled many collectors. The buttons of the 1960’s reversed these trends. Pop and psychedelic art had a large impact on the political buttons. Current presidential campaign buttons are largely limited to faces and names rather than symbolic representation of issues."

- Description:
- The Coast Guard Academy has developed and adopted a set of Shared Learning Outcomes (SLO’s) that articulate the desired knowledge, skills, and behaviors of our graduates. The Marine and Environmental Sciences curriculum achieves the SLO’s through a developmental approach to learning where reading, writing, quantitative analysis and critical reasoning skills improve incrementally as students progress through the MES program. In order to assess student learning and achievement of these Shared Learning Outcomes in individual courses and across the MES curriculum, the Science Department initiated the development of a comprehensive, multi-dimensional Student Development Model (SDM). The structure of the SDM is built on four categories of desired skills and behaviors, which we call Core Competencies. The Core Competencies are Knowledge, Technical Proficiency, Leadership and Communication. Each Core Competency has a set of desired performance-based outcomes, which we call Performance Dimensions. Each Performance Dimension in turn, has associated with it more specific behaviors and skills which we call Developmental Dimensions. Developmental Dimensions are classroom-level skills and behaviors that can be assessed for student proficiency. They are sequenced to represent appropriate student development from simple to more complex (i.e., more advanced). Development of the SDM began during the Summer 2006. Implementation began during the Fall 2006 with cataloging of current SDM practices as part of a larger MES program review process. Full implementation of the SDM will begin during the 2007-2008 academic year.

- Description:
- With the advent of IMO model courses and implementation of STCW competency assessment, the Shiphandling/Seamanship course offered to midshipmen at the United States Merchant Marine Academy was redesigned to employ practical demonstration, performance evaluation, and competency assessment. Part-task and full mission simulators are used to facilitate the understanding of ship maneuvering concepts. This poster will demonstrate the use of Blackboard, a web-based course management system, as an integral part of mariner competency assessment and effective record keeping for audit purposes. It will also demonstrate that small group collaborative learning activities lead to increased student engagement. The poster will confer the relevance of the use of simulators as an essential element of experiential learning and reinforce the importance of the facilitation of practical shiphandling skills in the virtual classroom.
