Welcome to the LoneStar State and PASIC

2000! The planning of thisPAS International Conventionhas taken several years andreflects the combined visionand efforts of many people.Percussion is unique in thefield of music in that it em-braces a world diversity thattranscends borders and cul-tural boundaries. PASIC is agathering of percussion en-thusiasts from around theworld, ranging from exuber-ant, novice beginners to themost legendary profession-als.

The experiences you willhave over the next few dayswill be savored for a lifetime.PASIC offers the opportunityto exchange ideas, meetnew friends, renew old

friendships, listen to great per-formances, and be inspired bythe finest talents the world hasto offer. As you study the pro-gram, you will see that it is bro-ken down into areas such asDrumset, Marching Percussion,World Percussion, Mallet Per-cussion, Orchestral Percussion/Timpani, Electronic Percussion,educational sessions, and con-cert events. In addition to at-tending sessions of yourparticular area of interest, I en-courage you to sample each ofthe other areas in order to trulygain an appreciation for the en-thusiasm and endless possibili-ties in the field of percussion.

I would like to thank thePASIC Host Committee and thePAS Executive Committee, aswell as the officers of the PASTexas Chapter, for all the hard

work and enthusiasm to makethis the best PASIC ever. I ap-preciated knowing that I couldcall on them for any help thatwas necessary. I especiallywant to thank Randy Eyles, PASExecutive Director, for his ad-vice, expertise, invaluable in-sight, and overall support. Ialso want to express my sincereappreciation to all of the PASstaff, who have worked tire-lessly to ensure that every de-tail of the next few days hasbeen handled.

Apart from the PAS Staff, theconvention runs on volunteer la-bor. I want to thank Karen Hunt,who organizes the logisticsteam each year, and all of hervolunteers. Such a huge under-taking as this would not be pos-sible without her organizationalskills and energy. Behind thescenes, the percussion industrydeserves special recognition.This is a huge financial under-taking, and without their willing-ness to go the extra mile, wecould not make this conventionhappen. I also appreciate thelocal Dallas music stores fortheir willingness to answer callsfor everything from instrumentsto transportation of musicstands. Bravo one and all!

Finally, I would like to thankmy family—Marilyn, Devon, andAllison—for their endless pa-tience in picking up the extra

load while I was telephon-ing, e-mailing, sound check-ing, and working out PASICdetails.

Welcome to Dallas! Whileyou are here, I encourageyou to take a little extra timeand savor all the experi-ences our city has to offer.We have included a restau-rant guide in this program.Texas has a tradition of hos-pitality and we want you toenjoy all of the food and am-biance of the “Lone StarState” while you are here.

I sincerely hope you havea wonderful and memorabletime!

Welcome to PASIC®

2000! We know thatyou will find your experienceto be rewarding, exciting,and educational. On behalfof the Executive Committee,Board of Directors, andmembers of PAS, I wouldlike to thank Michael Varnerand his committee for theirtime, effort, and commitment

to presenting this event. Untilyou have been “in their shoes,”one does not realize the level ofinvolvement that takes place inthe production of PASIC. Aspecial thanks must go toMike’s wife, Marilyn, and theirchildren, as the host’s jobrequires not only great skill andtime management, but alsogreat understanding andsupport from families and lovedones.

We celebrate two events inparticular at this PASIC that Ifind very significant. First, weare presenting our Wednesdayevening concert featuringAmadinda Percussion Groupwith Robert van Sice in the

Morton H. Myerson SymphonyCenter, which marks a majorcommitment on the part of PASto present a concert of this typein a major, first-class concertvenue. Second, we welcomethe return of our friend,colleague, and PAS Hall ofFame member Gary Burton tothe PASIC stage Fridayevening. As you may know, amedical emergency requiredGary to cancel his PASIC ’99appearance. We are honoredthat he is with us this year.

Finally, be sure to thank PASExecutive Director Randy Eylesand his staff for the spectacularwork they do to administer andproduce PASIC. It is more than

a full-time job, and Randy hasassembled a world-class staffto assist in every facet of theevent.

Thanks, and enjoy PASIC2000!

90 PERCUSSIVE ARTS SOCIETY HISTORY

During the late 1950s, it became the custom for asmall group of percussionists and interested music

directors to gather informally and discuss percussionproblems during the Mid-West Band Clinic held eachDecember at Chicago’s Sherman House. During the1960 Clinic, Remo Belli, a member of the group and anexhibitor at the convention, invited the others to dinner atthe hotel’s restaurant, and during discussion, theydeveloped the idea of forming a percussion organization.

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

When Mr. Belli returned home to California, heenlisted the services of Robert Winslow, a profes-

sional percussionist and a North Hollywood high schoolband director, to carry out the details of forming anorganization. In early 1961, Mr. Winslow sent a series ofletters concerning membership to interested parties.Among the stated goals of the organization were: “tostimulate a greater interest in percussion performanceand teaching,” and “to promote better teaching ofpercussion instruments.”

In May of 1961, Mr. Winslow sent a letter proclaiming:“We are underway. The Percussive Arts Society is openfor business,” and in September, the Society sent its firstpublication, Percussive Arts Society Bulletin, printed on amimeograph machine donated by Mr. Belli, to themembership.

After three Bulletins, adetermination was made

to transfer the administrativeand publication duties of theSociety to Professor DonaldCanedy, who was the percus-sion instructor and banddirector at Southern IllinoisUniversity. In April of 1963, Mr.Canedy, with the advice of adistinguished editorial boardand an able group of contrib-uting editors, published thenew PAS journal, Percussionist(in later years called Percus-sive Notes Research Edition)

in its familiar booklet form. Mr. Canedy served as defacto president through 1964, when, at the DecemberPercussive Arts Society meeting in Chicago, a constitu-tion was adopted and regular officers were elected.Gordon Peters became the first President of PAS; JackMcKenzie took the position of First Vice-President andMr. Canedy continued as Executive Secretary. Alsoelected were a Board of Directors and an EditorialBoard. With this solid structure, the Society becameincreasingly influential, expanding its committee activi-ties to address important percussion issues and makingpolicy decisions that would result in important contribu-tions to all areas of percussion.

An important expansionoccurred in 1967 when

James L. Moore’s alreadysuccessful PercussiveNotes became an officialPAS publication. Anothermilestone was achieved in1969 when the Society wasincorporated in Indiana asthe Percussive Arts Society,Incorporated, a status itmaintained until 1985 whenit was reincorporated underthe laws of Illinois.

Beginning in 1971,performances and clinicscalled “Days of Percussion” were held in conjunctionwith the yearly business meetings. In 1974, the firstPercussive Arts Society National Conference (PASNC)was held in Anaheim and at California State University atNorthridge. It was hosted by then-California StateChapter President Lloyd McCausland and Joel Leach ofCSU/Northridge. The PASNC evolved into the PercussiveArts Society International Convention that we know todayas PASIC. The first PASIC was held in 1976 at theEastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, and washosted by John Beck, the Eastman School and the NewYork State Chapter.
