Pasquale Assistant Director of Bands and Associate Director of Marching and Athletic Bands What are your five favorite pieces of music? 1. "The Victors" by Elbel: The greatest march ever written. What could be better than this? While I always love to hear "The Victors," my favorite time to hear it is after we put points on the board in the Big House or Yost! 2. "Stars and Stripes Forever" by Sousa: As an iconic symbol of patrio- tism, this piece reminds me how proud I am to be an American. I amso thankful for the service of our soldiers and the opportunities they provide by keep ussafe here at home. 3. "Le nozze di Figaro (Marriage of Figaro)" by Mozart: This opera made me want to become a conductor. As a child, I remember my father playing a recording of the Metropolitan opera performing this work and thinking to myself how badly I wanted tobe performing on that recording. 4. "Symphony No. 8 (Unfinished)" by Schubert: Just plainly great music. This work resonates through your soul and shows how beautiful life is. 5. Anything from the '80s: They may take my doctorate away for this, but I love cheezy '80s music. All kinds, genres, groups.. . Big Country to Poison to Def Leppard to Bon Jovi to U2; Ilove it all. TRAILER REVIEW UP IN THE AIR PARAMOUNT "Up in the Air" was critically lauded as one of the best pictures of the year at the Telluride Film Festival, and with its artfully constructed trailer audiences should have high expectations for its release this fall. In the trailer a very lonely-looking George Clooney lyrically narrates disheartening advice behind a montage of stun- ning aerial shots and wordless thespian interactions. Still, the trailer gives almost nothing away about the film's plot. The movie looks to have a strong ensemble of comedic actors, featuringJason Bateman of "Arrested Development" fame and Vera Farmiga ("The Departed"). This justglows with Oscar potential.
