Variety is something that is reflective of content and with as much content that there is circulating popular radio daily, some find it troubling that no matter the genre, a significant proportion of today’s music follows a specific formula. However, not all are in pursuit of rhythms and tunes that are manipulated by means of studio over production for the sake of mass consumption, and this is where non commercial, listener-supported radio stations like Louisville’s WFPK, triumph.
Founded in 1954 and originally broadcasting as a strictly classical music station, WFPK underwent several changes, and in 1993, adopted its current format, one that has sustained for over 20 years thanks to the devotion of listeners interested in experiencing a wide range of music.
In addition to offering a collection of artists for people from all variations of life, WFPK has also gone out of its way to host a range of events, each of which cater to both those within and outside of the Louisville metropolitan area. With strong participation in events such as the upcoming Forecastle Festival and sole leadership in the local favorite, Waterfront Wednesday, the station continues to make an impressive name for itself, in spite of the many commercialized radio stations that are offered
to listeners.Stacy Owen, program director at WFPK, is one
of many involved, who are doing their best at making sure that more and more people develop a relationship with the station and the music that it promotes for Waterfront Wednesday, which runs April
through September. Owen works as a talent scout and beginning in January she starts thinking about WFPK’s calendar, getting an early start on the events that will soon be listed for the upcoming season.
“I start talking to representatives at the labels that I know, talk to managers, look online for new people, and watch release schedules to see if anybody interesting has a new album coming out in the spring and summer,” Owen said. “[I] have a look [at] our play lists and make a wish list a lot of little pieces of the puzzle have to come together.”
In recent years, the Waterfront Wednesday series has cultivated an overwhelmingly positive response from not only fans of the music scene, but from the musicians involved as well. Owen is grateful for the success of the event and the tradition that is becoming synonymous with it. Bands and labels from across the country have been expressing strong interest in getting involved.
“A lot of times I’ll have more bands to choose from than I have slots available,” Owen said. “It’s a pretty good problem to have.”
Brad Ling, local musician and part-time retail employee, is one of many who are as enthusiastic about WFPK as those running the station are. Although his interests mostly stem from all of the possibilities that events such as Waterfront Wednesday can create for the lesser known talents.
“[WFPK] brings some much needed attention to the music scene, especially when it comes to local bands,” Ling said. “Paying attention to the community is

important and they seem to be one of the few local radio stations that care about what’s good, but not on the radio. Not what is or isn’t topical.”
As someone who spends most of his time studying and then practicing music, Ling is grateful for the interest that the station has expressed towards alternative, but locally driven music. Being given the opportunity to play at an event like Waterfront Wednesday for a crowd of hundreds may seem like a pipe dream for Ling, but stations like WFPK make his aspirations seem all the more plausible.
“I don’t see that fortune in my cards,” Ling said. “But radio stations like WFPK help reinforce that somebody is always listening to the little guys.”
This past Wednesday evening was opening day for WFPK’s Waterfront Wednesday and despite the cold temperature, the Big Four Lawn was packed with people, most bundled up tightly, but all excited to be at the opening day of what has become something of a tradition around Louisville.
The event was headlined by the alternative folk group, ‘Shaky Graves’ and the concert was very well received from both those coming out for the music and those looking for different way to spend their Wednesday night.
Claire Lother, 24, celebrated her first Waterfront Wednesday by enjoying the company of friends, a variety of fried foods, some sweet and some not-cheap beers, from short lines, and music that turned out to be as exciting as it was new to her.
“It was a lot of fun and I heard some bands that I
definitely wouldn’t have heard otherwise,” Lother said. “I’ve known about the concerts held on the waterfront for a few years now and regret waiting so long to finally come see what all of the buzz was about.”

The typical image of therapy is fairly standard, often coming from memories of watching Looney Tunes and Animaniacs as a child- a psychiatrist with circular glasses and a long couch, a long conversation discussing how you feel and other such things.
But instead of standard therapy measures, hospitals and many other locations across the country have picked up a guitar, or simply played a CD.
Music therapy, a new therapeutic treatment being offered to patients for a variety of ailments and men-tal illnesses, is a unique new approach to pain and mental health.
“Music therapy is where you use different music modalities- piano, guitar, singing… to help people with different types of disorders or diseases,” says Johnny Litzinger, pre-music therapy junior. “You can help people with dementia, you can help people with autism, Alzheimer’s and help people who’ve had strokes speak again. You’re like a regular therapist, but you use music as your tool instead of just therapy or behavioral therapy.”
A recent development in the realm of therapeutics, recent research into music has yielded results regard-ing the effect music has on the brain. Ranging from relieving stress and reducing pain, music even has an effect on the body itself, helping motor skills and tension.
“It’s become big recently mainly because research has proven it works,” said Litzinger in regards to mu-
sic therapy’s rise in use. “Research has shown that it does help people learn to speak again, it calms people down, it helps people with addictions seek out their problems and get a new way of dealing with things.”
Litzinger began playing instruments when he was a young child, and has continued to develop his skills. Returning to IU Southeast with the goal of using his interest in music to help people, the music therapy
major took on a minor in pre-cognitive therapy. “I was looking up into what I wanted to do- I didn’t
want to be a band director or a music director, so I started looking around and I found music therapy. I have a love of helping people out, I love psychology… I put the two together and it works.”
As Litzinger explained how music works, he gave an example.
“Think about a song from many, many years ago,” he said. “You may not remember all the words right now, but the moment you hear it playing on the radio, it’ll all come back to you. Basically, your brain creates all these neuropathways to remember things or create new things. Music helps in bringing (those pathways) back.”
Music Therapy has even begun making tracks here in the local area. At Norton Hospital in downtown Louisville, music therapy has become a highly uti-lized tool.
“They may go into a patient’s room who’s just recently had a surgery and they may play a soft song or a song that they like to reduce their pain after surgery so they don’t have to give the patient so many medications,” says Litzinger. “Say you have an elderly person in the hospital for the first time. [Music thera-py] might help them calm down the first couple nights there.”
With so many people across various spectrums of
life, many may be reaping the benefits of music and not realizing it.
For Litzinger, it’s natural. “Music to me is… it’s a way of communicating with
sounds and beats and rhythms. It’s a language of sound and rhythms and sounds and pitches. It helps calm me down, it gets me motivated, (and) I don’t miss a class because I learn something every single day.”
You’re like a regular therapist, but you use music as your tool instead of just therapy or behavioral therapy.

A New Therapy Uses Music to Treat Illness

The band mates march along the edge of an Indiana cornfield while the harmonious sounds of stringed instruments combine to create a folk rock melody.
This is one of the scenes to ‘The Hart Strings’ first music video for their song, “Sharp.”
The Hart Strings; Ted Hartog (keyboard, guitar, banjo, vocals), Andrew Wehmueller (guitar, bass, mandolin, vocals), Hunter Mulkey (bass), Joseph Berger (drums), and Josh Druin (violin, guitar, banjo, vocals), come from Georgetown, Indiana.
Ted Hartog, lead singer of The Hart Strings, originally formed the band with some friends from high school.
“I wanted people to play music with and I’d been writing music since 7th grade, so I grabbed a couple of my friends from the orchestra and we formed a folk trio,” Hartog said.
Josh Druin, audio production sophomore, revealed his journey with the band and how he has made music his life.
Druin began his musical career at an early age. “I started playing guitar when I was around five
years old and violin when I was nine,” Druin said. “Music pretty much is my life. It has always been my passion. It’s a hobby, but at the same time it’s a job and a part of school for me.”
Druin began his journey with ‘The Hart Strings,’ in high school when an opportunity came to him by filling in for their original violinist when he was busy.
“I have been playing with The Hart Strings since
2012 but I wasn’t actually in the band yet,” he said.
“My friend Gannon Yeaton was the first violinist, but he had a busy schedule so I would occasionally fill in for him. I continued to fill in for him until they decided it was best that I become a permanent member,” Druin said.
A membership he is grateful for because of the experiences he has had.
“A bunch of opportunities have opened up for me because of my involvement with The Hart Strings,” Druin said. “I’ve played numerous shows around this regional area, we’ve done many shows that pay very well, and shows for very large audiences.”
One of these opportunities allowed he and the band to gain recognition from famous musicians.
“The Grammy Gig of a Lifetime competition was pretty much a contest we entered, to win a chance to play a huge show, at Club Nokia, opening for The Neighborhood during Grammys week,” he said.
“We were chosen by a few judges, including Fall Out Boy, and we made it into the top 40,” Druin explained.
“After that, our fans were to help us by tweeting (which counted as a vote). There were certain points in time where we would check and we were in 3rd place out of the 40. We didn’t end up winning but it was awesome how all of our fans came together and helped us so much.”
The fans love the music and appreciate the hard work they put into making it.
Jessica Forbes, English senior, admires their originality.
“I like their originality and the diversity of their songs. You can tell they really care about, and put a lot of effort into their music,” Forbes said.
Druin is also appreciative of the opportunity to tour with the band.
“Touring with the band is pretty great but very tiring at the same time. Last summer we did a two-week tour and we got a lot of exposure and attention, but I was totally worn out by the end of it,” he said.
“This summer we are touring again. We’re still finalizing some of the dates but it’s going to be around a month long. We’ll be going to a lot of different places including Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Music From the Hart
We are an indie rock group with some pop influences. We’ve still kept the main focus on songwriting as a craft.
Ted HartogThe Hart Strings Ted Hartog, keyboard, guitar, banjo, and vocals for The Hart Strings. “Being from this area really removed a
lot of the pressure of being in a band that might exist in bigger cities. We’re free to write what we want and not get too bogged down by a lot of distractions,” he said. Josh Druin, the band’s violinist, began his musical career at an early age. “I started playing guitar when I was around five years old and violin when I was nine. Music pretty much is my life,” he said.

New York, Alabama, North Carolina and quite a few other places,” he said.
While Druin’s main involvement is playing the violin, he does help with the overall aesthetic of the music.
“I don’t personally write any of the songs. Most of the time, Ted comes in with an idea or a basic outline of a song and everyone else adds our own parts. Sometimes we give input for different ideas or changes,” Druin said.
“We have a song called ‘Indiana.’ It started out as a sentimental and mellow song, reminiscent of The Avett Brothers, but I had the idea to change it to double speed so it would be more like a fast bluegrass tune,” he said.
“We’ve pretty much played it that way ever since and it’s a fan favorite because it’s pretty exciting and fun for us to play.”
Hartog stressed the importance songwriting plays in their music and how the band keeps things unique.
“We are an indie rock group with some pop influences. We’ve still kept the main focus on songwriting as a craft, but the instrumentation is more along the lines of Ben Folds Five and not so much Avett or Old Crow,” Hartog said.
“We’re all multi-instrumentalists which allows us to take songs in a lot of different directions, so it’s nice to not have those kinds of boundaries as a band.”
While Hartog now lives in Nashville and the band tours all over the country they stay loyal to their roots.
“Being from this area really removed a lot of the pressure of being in a band that might exist in bigger cities. We’re free to write what we want and not get too bogged down by a lot of distractions,” Hartog said.
“Now that I live in Nashville, I’ve gotten the benefit of being around so many great songwriters and learning a lot, while also having a home base that I can go to escape it all for a bit,” Hartog said.
This loyalty is evident in their music. Each song has an element of bluegrass roots and one of their songs from their most recent album is titled “Indiana,” and it’s clear that’s where their heart is.
Music From the Hart
Though The Hart strings may not all live in the same area anymore, they still tour together. “This summer we are touring again. We’re still finalizing some of the dates but it’s going to be around a month long,” Druin said. Though Hartog currently resides in Nashville and the band tours the country, they stay local to their roots. ,” Hartog said. ––

The Hart Strings entered a contest called “The Grammy Gig of a Lifetime” competition that could have sent the group to open for The Neighborhood during Grammys week. “We were chosen by a few judges includ-ing Fall Out Boy and we made it to the top 40,” Druin said. After they reached the top 40, fans had to send out tweets, which would be their votes. “We didn’t end up winning, but it was awesome how much all of our fans came together and helped us so much,” he said.

A NEW VISION ON
VINYL

Peddler’s MallClarksville
After walking through the main doors, take an immediate right and walk until a booth filled with records is spotted. The booth has racks built out of two-by-four boards, crammed with new and used records. On the ground, under the racks, plastic crates of more records await to be looked through. The records are alphabetically arranged by the artist or group.
The Peddler’s Mall is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. And Sunday, 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Matt Anthony’s Record ShopLouisville
This record shop has been around for a year and a half. The owner, Matt Anthony, said that he once worked at Ear X-Tacy in Louisville, and once it closed down, he decided to open his own shop.
He said he has a love for records and believes them to have the best listening quality.
“Records will always be around and are tangible documented art,” Anthony said.
Everything in the shop is hand selected by him and he said that he carries all genres. Anthony said that his shop contains a lot of affordable rarities. The records are organized by genre and he even has a rack of comic books.
The shops hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. And Sunday, 12 p.m. until 5 p.m.
Highland Records Louisville
Highland Records is a little shotgun shop that smells of fresh cigarette smoke and mildew.
The records are not displayed in any certain order, which may make the hunt a little more difficult, but this place might hold a rare find.
The shops hours are Monday through Saturday, 12 p.m. until 6 p.m., and is closed on Sunday.

These four shops are all close enough to each other that if someone is ambitious enough, going to all four is doable in one day. The prices of the records range, due to the rarity of the record or the condition of the sleeve or disc.
Buried deep behind stacks of records, a rare find awaits to be found and placed once again on a turntable, to fill the room with joyful crackling melodies.

If sifting through stacks of records until scoring a rare treasure sounds thrilling, then a trip to the destinations spotlighted below will help fulfill this hobby. Here are a few shops in Louisville and Southern Indiana that sell records waiting to create new dancing memories.
Better Day RecordsLouisville
Better Day Records was opened in 1982 by Ben Jones and is the second oldest record shop in Louisville. Jones only job has been in this record shop.
His love for records started when he was younger because his mom would play music to awake him and his siblings for school. Then as a teenager, he said he bought records and eventually was known as the “record guy.”
He said his passion is to “introduce soundtracks to your life.”
His shop is filled with collective inventory arranged by genre and friendly smiles. “Our niche is great customer service,” Jones said.

is known by the rest of the world for baseball bats and race horses. But those who have a more personal relationship with the city are probably well aware of
Louisville’s awesome music scene that grows with each day.
Literature and writing senior Katie Molck said she thinks very highly of the local music scene.
“I think music in the New Albany and Louis-ville area is unique because there are so many talented people here. And not just talented, but people passionate about what they do. It’s like every time I meet someone new they play
an instrument or have been in a band or are pursuing music,” said Molck.
Sean Smith is the drummer for local band Uh Huh Baby Yeah, which has played at several venues in the New Albany and Louisville area, and has also traveled and played for events such as Warped Tour.
Smith said he has seen a lot going on recently in regards to the local music scene.
“It has really gone under a resurgence in the last five years. Where it once was a music
Scene known for metal, there’s now a great diversity pop, rock, indie, folk, punk, electron-ic and everything in between. There is just a new generation of kids thirsty for new types of music,” said Smith.
And with so much music happening in the area, you can find a show nearly any night of
the week.Molck, who named Headliners, Zanzabar and
Kaiju as some of her favorite places to go and listen to live music, described her ideal venue.
“A great venue would be standing space only, not too big, not too small. It would be conducive of a more intimate atmosphere a space where you can feel like you’re really watching and hearing the band,” said Molck.
The area is scattered with places to watch local music from quaint and inexpensive to larger, more popular venues. And if you’re interested in checking out local music, you just have to know where to go.

Some of the Coolest Places in the Southern Indiana and Louisville Area Where You Can Grab a Drink and Jam.
Headliners Music Hall1386 Lexington Rd. Louisville, KYHeadliners, though a bigger venue than most bars,
still serves as a personable place to enjoy live music. The venue features a bar and music ranging from punk to rock to R&B, and everything in-between.
Aside from their own shows, the people at Head-liners know about Louisville and its music. To keep up-to-date on what’s going on with the music scene locally, you can like the Headliners Music Hall page on Facebook.
Mercury Ballroom611 S. 4th St. Louisville, KYMercury Ballroom, right in downtown Louisville,
serves as a venue for both local bands and a few big-ger-name bands. Just this past summer, the band
Brand New played a packed show at Mercury. Just on Apr. 20, Walk The Moon played at Mercury. Mercu-ry has also hosted tribute shows, such as a recent one dedicated to Elton John and Billy Joel. Some shows can cost more than the typical bar’s $10 or $15, but
Mercury is known to have reasonable prices on tick-ets for all of their shows. There is a bar both upstairs and downstairs, as well as a few stand-alone bars during busier shows.
Expo Five2900 S. 7th St. Louisville, KYExpo Five often serves as a venue for more hard-core or punk, even pop-punk bands, many booked by Terry Harper. The venue has hosted bands such as Transit and Taking Back Sunday, and local bands such as Uh Huh Baby Yeah. The venue is fairly large, with a small bar in one room and a nice fenced-in patio for warmer days.
WFPK’s Waterfront WednesdaysThe Big Four Lawn on the Waterfront in Louis-
ville, KYHosted by Louisville radio station 91.9 WFPK,
the last Wednesday of each month, a few bands get together to play music on the Big Four lawn at the
Louisville Waterfront. 2015 is the 14th year for the event, and Waterfront Wednesdays has featured bands such as Shakey Graves, Moon Taxi and Span-ish Gold. The all-ages show is right by the river, with food trucks, drinks and other types of booths.
Zanzabar2100 S. Preston St. Louisville, KYAlso called Z-Bar, Zanzabar is known for mu-sic and dancing. The bar has been around since 1938 and has shows each month. Though tickets are usually purchased online, they go cheaply at about $10 or $15. On nights with no band, the bar serves largely as a dance floor with a club-like atmosphere. Most shows at Z-Bar are 21 and over and begin at 9PM.

Highlands Tap Room (“Old” & “New”)1058 Bardstown Rd. Louisville, KYTwo bars sitting right next to one another on Bard-stown Rd., the Highlands Tap Room features music every night of the week. From Metal Mondays to some softer bands, karaoke and hip hop shows, the Tap Room can get pretty crowded throughout the evening. But getting a drink never takes too long, and much of the music is locally-based.
Kaiju1004 E. Oak St. Louisville, KYThis dive bar in Louisville has a bar in the front room and a stage in the back room. This bar features bands of the punk, pop, hip hop, jazz and more. Many shows at Kaiju are free to those over 21. Their motto is “beers, monsters, music”, and Happy Hour is until 7 PM each day, and until close on Sunday and Monday. Kaiju also is popular for having a Dragon King’s Daughter food truck outside of the venue most nights.

The smell of carnival food and unwashed bodies waft through the air as you make your way towards the main stage for your fifth show of the day. Music festivals are a great way for students to spend a summer weekend.
You meet new people and are exposed to new music and experiences. Students at IU Southeast weighed in on their favorite music festivals.
MUSIC FESTIVAL
GUIDE
Bonnaroo Bonnaroo features mainly pop, rock and indie
musicians; some of today’s top headliners grace the stages at this four day music festival. This years line up includes performances by Billy Joel, Mumford and Sons, Kendrick Lamar, Florence and the Machine and Louisville’s own My Morning Jacket, to name a few. The festival is annual and starts on the second Thursday in June and runs until Sunday in Manchester, Tennessee.
Robert Coomer, audio production sophomore, loved his experience at the festival last year. “I had an amazing time camping out for the weekend with my friends. It got very hot at some points during the day however. One piece of advice would be to hydrate at all times and be well rested. Lots of waiting combined with heat can be exhausting,” Coomer said.
ForecastleThe commute won’t take too long if you choose
to attend Forecastle. It takes place on July 17-19 right here in Louisville. The line up consists of heavy hitters like Sam Smith to the Floyd County natives Houndmouth. Be sure to dress light and keep hydrated, there’s nothing like mid-july humidity in Louisville.
Vans Warped Tour The Warped Tour is the longest running touring
music festival in North America. While the genres of music that perform have broadened in recent years it is still a festival geared towards Alternative and Punk Rock music.
The closest venue to IU Southeast is the Klipsch Music Center located in Knoblesville Indiana. The tour will be performing at Klipsch on July 29.
Chaley Edwards, special education freshman, attended the warped tour last year and had an unforgettable experience. “The warped tour was crazy. I got a concussion from mosh pitting but it was incredibly fun. I’d suggest to bring a ton of advil and sneak as much water in as you can, also an extra bra to throw at the musicians,” Edwards said.

PointfestPointfest is an exclusively alternative music festival
held in St. Louis Missouri on May 23rd, featuring artists such as Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle and The Used.
Morgan Schultz, political science junior, went to pointfest last year and plans on attending again this year. “There were a lot of indie bands but they had some really awesome main bands as headliners. It’s 28 bands for 28 dollars. Be sure to bring a lot of beer because you can bring it in,” Schultz said.
Bunbury Bunbury is a three day music festival that takes
place in Cincinnati, Ohio on June 5-7. This festival caters to several genres. This year it hosts artists such as The Black Keys and Snoop Dogg.
Josie Garwood, Spanish freshman, enjoyed Bunbury’s clean and spacious atmosphere. “I went to Bunbury last year. It was small and very clean. It was spread out over a large area. If I could do anything differently I would have worn more comfortable shoes and cooler clothes. My favorite part was learning about new music and getting to see the smaller acts. I had never heard of my current favorite band until I saw them at the festival,” Garwood said.
Lollapalooza This music festival takes place in Chicago from
July 31 to August 2. This years line up offers artists encompassing all genres; from Paul McCartney to Metallica. Lollapalooza offers comedy and dance acts along with their musical performances.
Whatever genre of music you enjoy there is a music festival for you. Music festivals offer new experiences, fresh music and friendships you didn’t even know you wanted. Take a rest and strum up some fun this summer.

Over the years, a concert band, an orchestra, a guitar ensemble, a pep band and other music perfor-mance groups have performed at IU Southeast. Now, a new ensemble is marching into the university’s music scene.
The Southeast Sound is the new marching band and color guard for IU Southeast. On Sunday, April 12, the first IU Southeast marching band rehearsal occurred from 5 - 9 p.m. in the Ogle Center, room 160.
The guard’s first rehearsal occurred on Sunday, April 19 from 5 - 9 p.m. in the Ogle Center.
Southeast Sound is a Sound Sport team through Drum Corps International. This summer, the march-ing band will perform at local shows and shows in other locations -- including Indianapolis -- with teams from the U.S. and around the world. In addi-tion to performing in the summer, the band might also perform in a couple of parades in the fall.
Jennifer Gordon, graduate student in secondary education, directs South-east Sound. She is assisted by guard director Kathryn Goldman and visual director Daniel Goldman.
Gordon said Southeast Sound’s first performance will be at the Summer Pops concert at the IU Southeast amphitheater on Friday, June 12. After that, Southeast Sound will perform with local, national and international marching bands.
“We’re going to be performing at Drum Corps International,” Gordon said. “It’s like marching band, but without the woodwinds. We’re going to be per-forming at their Evansville show and their Louisville show, also both in June, and then we’re going to be going up to their world finals up in (Indianapolis) at the beginning of August. And that’s going to involve groups from all over the world. Groups from Thai-
land, Guatemala, Canada, Japan, everywhere.”
Gordon said the perfor-mances will help Southeast Sound receive and interna-tional exposure.
“It’s going to be not only local exposure from per-forming in Evansville and Louisville, but international exposure from going up to (Indianapolis) and seeing the different groups, and being seen by the different groups from around the world,” Gordon said.
This year, Southeast Sound’s show is called “Fuego,” which is Span-ish for fire. The show will include two selections: “Estancia” and “Malaguena.” The show features mysteri-ous, Latin-style music in a moderately upbeat tempo.
“It is Spanish music, so fi-ery Latin jazz,” Gordon said. “It’s exciting, in your face, fast and upbeat, so it’s going
to be a fun show.”As of Sunday, April 19,
Southeast Sound had about 20 band members and five guard members. Gordon said the band is still growing, and anyone 18 years or older can join.
“We could always use more percussionists,” Gordon said. “I could use a tuba player. Maybe a couple of trumpets and clarinets. Anybody that wants to join can join at any time, and we’ll work them in.”
In addition to directing the Southeast Sound marching band, Gordon directs the Southeast Sound pep band. Gordon said several pep band members ex-pressed interest in an IU Southeast marching band this year.
“I was hired four years ago to start the pep band, and we’ve grown quite a bit from 11 members to 35 this year, and at the end of pep band season, I threw the idea out at the members, and they seemed pretty interested,” Gordon said.
As for the fact that the Southeast Sound marching band has the same name as the pep band, Gordon said that will not change for a while.
“I’m keeping things integrated the same for now,” Gordon said. “Maybe later on or in a few years we’ll split off into the Marching Grenadiers or something, but for now we’re keeping it the same.”
Jacob Reese, business sophomore with a concen-tration in finance, is a percussion member of the Southeast Sound marching band. Reese, who has played percussion instruments in bands for about five years, said the band will create opportunities for interested members.“I think it will bring some new opportunities for students who want to expand their music education,” Reese said.Reese said he joined the Southeast Sound marching band because he had good memories of his time in his high school marching band.“I really enjoyed marching in high school, and it was the best opportunity,” Reese said. “It seemed like fun to do it here with this group.”Reese said the marching band’s performances could help more people become aware of IU Southeast.Emily Villanova, from Corydon, is a member of the

Villanova had been a guard member in Corydon from seventh grade through her senior year of high school.Villanova found out about Southeast Sound on Facebook and chose to be in the guard. “I had to decide between saxophone and guard, and I really didn’t want to play tenor saxophone, so I chose guard,” Villanova said. Villanova said she believes Southeast Sound will entertain audiences. She also said spinning her rifle is her favorite part of being in the guard.Caitlyn Schultheiss, general studies freshman at Ivy Tech, plays the clari-net in the Southeast Sound marching band. She has played the clarinet
since she was in fifth grade, and she has experience playing in school bands.“I always had an interest in band, and I did this since elementary school,” Schultheiss said. “I did marching band in high school.”Schultheiss said the first rehearsal went well, and the band has been learning the music for the show.“I attended the first rehearsal, and even though we didn’t have many people, it still went well sight reading through music,” Schultheiss said.Gordon said although the first rehearsal had a low turnout, she believes it went well.“I think it went really well,” Gordon said. “We were missing quite a few people because they had work or fam-ily issues pop up, but we got through the music.”Gordon said her goal is for the South-east Sound marching band to become an enjoyable, convenient option for IU Southeast musicians.“My goal is to provide a different outlet for our musicians here at IU [Southeast],” Gordon said. “Not just sitting in a chair, [but] getting outside and playing. A lot of people miss marching band from high school, and they can go to UofL and take it as a class through Metroversity, but a lot of people just want to stay on campus, so it gives them that opportunity, and for a very light rehearsal schedule compared to UofL. It’s a different out-let, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes.”

Opinions...By Joel Stinnett
Everything I Needed to Know AboutJournalism I Learned From Hip-Hop
In the 1970’s South Bronx, NY was on fire…lit-erally. It is estimated that over 40% of the building were burned down by its disgruntled residents during that decade. The police in the borough were so over-whelmed that they stopped investigating arsons.
The borough was rife with drug addiction, welfare hotels, squatters and slumlords. Parts of the area had
even been taken off of official New York City maps. Tourists were afraid to visit, fire departments were overworked, and cops struggled to do their jobs. It wasn’t the most inviting place for journalists either.
Out of this fire of crime, hopelessness and neglect was born hip-hop.
Kool Herc is credited with creating this style of music when he DJed his sister’s back to school in the Bronx. We all know hip-hop has the power to make people dance, but it is its ability to provide social commentary that makes it such a versatile, and dan-gerous, genre.
Chuck-D of Public Enemy famously said that hip-hop is “the CNN of the streets.”
As a kid, listening to the stories of people overcom-ing struggle and fighting a biased system is what made me fall in love with hip-hop. And while it can be used to glorify some social ills, it has been equally effective at exposing some of the root causes.
As rappers began to tell the story of the South Bronx in the early 80’s things began to change for the better.
I don’t have the skills to become a successful rap-per, Dr. Dre still hasn’t responded to the demo tapes I sent him, so I decided to become the next best thing to a rich and famous hip-hop star…a journalist.
This is how hip-hop taught me journalism.“Broken glass everywhere/ People pissin’ on the
stairs, you know they just don’t care,” Grand Master Flash, “The Message.”
In 1982 Grand Master Flash released “The Mes-sage.” A scathing account of the realities of life in the South Bronx. It was the first time hip-hop had been used to provide lyrical social commentary. It also paved the way for artist like NWA and Public Enemy.
I was oblivious to the song until Puff Daddy sam-pled it in 1997 for “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down.” When I found out the hook from that song wasn’t original I had to seek out “The Message.”
In the 90’s gangster rap ruled, so this was one of the first times that I realized that art, music and the written word could be used for more than entertain-ment. The lyrics were brash and blunt. I could see in my head the crumbling buildings and forgotten junkies of South Bronx. It was a world away from Kentucky, but I felt every word.
Slick Rick was perhaps the master emcee of story-telling. The song “Children’s story” is a charming way to warn others about a life of crime on the streets. The beat is so melodic and the rhymes so playful that you are caught off guard when the truth finally hits you.
One of the reasons I got into journalism was to be a voice those that don’t have one. To tell the stories of people that need to be heard. And create change. That is what “The Message” and what “Children’s Story” did. Honest, factual accounts of a cruel world told
through stories. “‘Cause I am, whatever you say I am/ If I wasn’t, then
why would I say I am?/ In the paper, the news everyday I am/ I don’t know it’s just the way I am,” Eminem, “The Way I Am.”
Released in 2000, “The Way I Am” might be Emi-nem’s angriest song (that says a lot). The lyrics are a fantastic example of something we often talk about in The Horizon newsroom. Perception is reality.
As a journalist, a writer or even just a human be-ing, we are all susceptible to being misunderstood.
Commas, headlines and design choices can nullify a well thought out 800 word article in a heartbeat.
“Stop clubbing baby seals.”“Stop clubbing, baby seals.”Are we trying to stop the murder of baby seals or
are we trying to stop them from hanging out at 4th Street Live on Saturday nights?
That is a light hearted example but those type of mistakes can have real consequences for journalists. Eminem’s lyrics always remind me that the percep-tion of my words become reality.
“Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox/ Attack the black, cause I know they lack exact/ The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox,” Public Enemy, “Don’t Believe The Hype.”
These lyrics have two lessons: be true to who you are and make sure you get the facts correct.
A journalist’s main job is not to write, it is to ask questions. Getting the facts straight is paramount.
Too many times journalists print untruths. Some-times this is in a rush to be first, other times it is pure laziness. It has resulted in a nationwide mis-trust of the media. Even though the perpetrators are a small minority.
I believe that if I can be true to the reasons I want-ed to become a journalist, gather as much information as I can, and not let the pressures of a Twitter society get to me, it will pay off in the long run.
“I don’t want no scrub,” TLC, “No Scrubs.”This lyric really has nothing to do with journalism.
But one night as we were designing in newsroom the song came on.
“This is my jam!” Adam Maksl, assistant professor of journalism, said in delight.
In reality, Maksl and Ron Allman, associate profes-sor of journalism, have been reasons I fell in love with journalism.
When I came to IU Southeast, my 4th college, I wasn’t sure if it was the place for me. Adam and Ron taught me why this profession is important and gave me the tools to one day, hopefully, be successful at it. For the first time in my college career I feel as though I am a part of something important.
Thank you Adam and Ron for being the best men-tors I could ask for and for and, finally, giving me a true college experience.

After transferring to IU Southeast, I was complete-ly uninspired and unhappy with my college career.
As said transfer student, I had loved being an En-glish major at another college and switched to a busi-ness major my first semester here as a junior, because that’s what most people around me told me I had to do to have a successful career. They were full of a lot of words and little wisdom, but we’ll get to that.
This is where the trouble began. Just going to classes and taking tests mostly on subjects I was totally uninterested in was far from what I wanted to do. I hated what I was doing—memorizing facts and figures wasn’t doing it for me—none of these classes expanded my mind in the way I wanted to learn, and frankly, I was on autopilot.
Attending college is a great responsibility to engage in. Trying to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life while trusting faculty to help get you there can be a pivotal point in a student’s life; a point you may have to revisit as well.
I felt myself slipping and in a crunch to figure out what I was going to do under this imaginary four-year deadline I now realize doesn’t exist; I was either
going to keep up with the façade, or jump into some-thing else entirely.
That’s when I found myself sitting in Adam Mak-sl’s journalism reporting and editing course and Ron Allman’s visual communication class, among other makin’ journalisms courses spring semester 2014. This is also where I found my love for being a student again.
What started as a gloomy and snowy semester moved slowly to rain and greenery, I started to feel like myself for the first time since transferring col-leges.
I was excited to go to my classes to talk about writing, designing and producing stories. I began researching all the things I could do with my journal-ism major, and I was finally looking forward to life after college.
I also have to say that just about every single professor I have had at IU Southeast has made some sort of impact on me—and I don’t feel like that’s something everyone gets to say about their college experience.
I know that I could not have picked a better univer-sity. It was the perfect choice for me—even if it was a rocky start.
Professors like Adam Maksl and Ron Allman in the journalism program aren’t at every university. It’s not every professor that lights up about what they do, and encourages you to constantly work at your craft, even if you fall down majorly.
People say IU Southeast is a hidden gem. From my experience with our professors, the beautiful campus, and all of the ways in which students can get involved, I have to say that I would agree it is a
gem. But like Chancellor Ray Wallace has said, why is it hidden?
I have proudly converted two friends to become IU Southeast students, and I will always encourage people to attend this university.
And the fact that in less than three weeks I will be walking across the stage to receive my diploma from this university still doesn’t seem real— I have self-identified so strongly as a student for five years that I can’t imagine the moment yet—but I couldn’t honestly feel more prepared.
And whether Adam Maksl knows it or not, his excitement for The Hori-zon and his excitement for journalism really opened my eyes that I could do something I love and make it my career.
I don’t remember the specific first time he said it, but he is always saying we’re not student journalists, we’re journalists that happen to be students.
I’ve said many times this semester I’ll miss this campus and it’s people. There is just something differ-ent about being on a college campus; the atmosphere is entirely different than anywhere else.
This is the place I’ve made many friends I know will go long beyond these few years. This is the place I figured myself out, and what I want to do with my life. I mean, this is the place I high-fived the Chancel-lor while in a bear costume.
So basically if you are in the middle of the bridge and it’s swaying in the winds of uncertainty, just trust your gut. Do what you’re passionate about, do what you love, and you’ll find ways to make it work for you.
I also must say i’m lucky enough to have parents that encourage me and support my passions. Switch-ing my major so late in my academic career was not easy, but it was something I needed to do, something that made this journey worth it. I am unsure if I would have had the strength to do it if my mother did not encourage me to follow my heart.
And graduating doesn’t mean that what we’re done with this campus or finished with these years.
Tell people it’s a gem and encourage them to be a Grenadier. What we picked up here will go with us for the rest of our lives, and I’m ready for this next chapter to begin.
The journey is worth it Opinions...

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A new opportunity tempts. Don’t say much un-til you’re sure. Collaboration could lead to an increase in income. Exercise restraint with the urge to impulsive-ly spend money. Accept an unusual gift. Express your affection without holding back. Share the love.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Postpone a financial dis-cussion. Pay attention to providing excellent service. Passion moves mountains. Devise a plan. Stay cool. The people you care about think you’re brilliant.

School of RockJimmy Gaetano of Jimmy’s
Music Center at 123 East Market St, New Albany is a musician who toured across the U.S. and Europe before moving to the area to attend Bible School. After Gradu-ating he played in a church band that visited prisons to entertain and reach out to inmates in the area. He bought Jimmy’s Music
Center 9 years ago and of-fers lessons, sells and rents equipment and even does repairs. “I knew as soon as I got a
guitar as a child I wanted to play,” Gaetano said. “We try and make music fun for kids and adults.”
