PAS PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
elcome to Columbus,
Ohio and to the 2002
Percussive Arts Society International Convention. This is
the third time that Columbus
has hosted our unique music
convention, and the city and
event facilities have always
proven to be first rate. I appreciate the tireless efforts of Susan Powell and her planning
committee in providing a stel-
W
lar lineup of clinicians, artists,
workshops, and concerts for the
members of PAS. Please take a
moment to thank Susan and her
committee for their work before
and during the convention to
bring this world-class event to
Columbus and to make it run
like clockwork. Our society is
richer for their vision and volunteer efforts.
This vision can only be realized with the support of our Sustaining Members. In the Exhibit
Hall you will find a dedicated
music industry that devotes a
large portion of their resources
to invest in the percussive arts
and PAS. On behalf of the Board
of Directors and our entire membership, I say thank you to our
Sustaining Members for their
support that brings this convention together. Please take a moment to thank these exhibitors
for providing opportunities for
your enrichment.
Finally, be sure to thank our
Executive Director, Michael
Kenyon, and the PAS Staff for
their outstanding job to produce
PASIC. It takes years of planning
by the PAS office to administer
and run this event. Our society
is lucky to have such a talented
and dedicated team of professionals in Lawton, Oklahoma
working on our behalf.
There is no place like PASIC
on this earth. It is a place to recharge your batteries, to access
new information, to renew old
friendships and make new ones.
PASIC is a unique connection to
people, products, and performances.
Please enjoy PASIC 2002
and all that it does to enhance
our lives.
PASIC HOST’S WELCOME
n behalf of the city of Columbus and the PASIC
2002 planning committee, I’d
like to welcome you to what I
know will be a stimulating and
enriching four days. Twenty
seven years ago, the first Percussive Arts Society International Convention was held in
Rochester, New York at the
Eastman School of Music.
Since then, PASIC has visited
twenty different cities across
the United States and brought
the world of percussion to
thousands of individuals.
This is the third trip that
PASIC has made to Columbus;
Bob Breithaupt hosted the
convention in 1993 and Jim
Rupp was host in 1999. Due to
the accessible location, great
facilities, and the successful
previous conventions, the precedent has been set for yet
another memorable Columbus
gathering.
The artist roster for PASIC
2002 features some of the
greatest names in percussion,
and as you browse through
O
WELCOME MESSAGES
the program take note of the
wide array of genres represented: drumset, world, keyboard, orchestral, and marching
percussion, as well as education
sessions and concert events.
Within each of these areas there
are clinics, master classes, performances and panel discussions, as well as a diverse
lineup of evening concerts. You
can plan your PASIC experience
around your particular points of
interest, all while sampling the
varied offerings of other areas.
Also, be sure and budget time
in your daily schedule to visit the
PASIC 2002 Exhibit Hall. The exhibits offer the opportunity to
browse through music, view the
latest instrument innovations,
and try out products not available anywhere else in one location.
An event such as this could
not take place without the collaboration of countless individuals and organizations.
Numerous contributors have
helped make this convention
come to life: the PAS committee
members, the many logistics
volunteers, the corporate sponsors, and especially the PAS
staff in Lawton. I would like to
thank in particular PAS Administrative Manager Rebecca
Kinslow and PASIC Production
Manager Todd Lacy, who have
been key in the planning process of this event.
PAS conventions offer the
unique gathering of individuals from all sides of percussion: performers, students,
educators, composers, manufacturers and percussion enthusiasts. This is the
seventeenth convention I have
personally attended, and I
can honestly say that I have
grown up in, with and through
the Percussive Arts Society.
The yearly conventions have
been integral to my development as both performer and
educator, and I, like many others, look forward to renewing
old friendships as well as
making new ones each time
PASIC takes place. Whether
this is your first PAS convention or your twentieth, you will
most certainly leave inspired.
Enjoy your stay!

“For me, when all is said
and done, sound is the
determining factor for
marimbas. Although I’ve
been impressed with the
many improvements in
design and construction
of marimbas over the past
few years, it is the sound
of the Marimba One rich, dark, open and
sonorous - that sets it apart
from other instruments.
Marimba One’s high level
of professionalism and
pursuit of excellence sets a
benchmark that more
percussion manufacturers
should aspire to.”

CALL FOR PROPOSALS PASIC 2003
FOCUS DAY “MOVING SOUND
(Percussion with Dance)”
The PAS New Music/Research Committee is pleased to announce a
call for proposals for presentation/performance at PASIC 2003 Focus
Day, Wednesday, November 19, 2003 in Louisville, Kentucky. The
theme for the 2003 Focus Day is “Moving Sound (Percussion with
Dance).” Artists, ensembles, and scholars are invited to send in
proposals.
The committee intends to present a wide representation of styles to
celebrate percussion music with dance throughout the years, concentrating on new works in the genre. Our vision is to program
works of diverse styles, from re-creating some of the classic percussion/dance works from the 1930s and 1940s to experimental/mixedmedia events of the present day. For example, we are looking to
program early percussion ensemble works (by Cage, Harrison,
Becker, etc.) with original or new choreography, newer or newly
composed percussion works, and mixed ensemble works with choreography, and electronic/mixed-media works that include percussion and choreography. Eastern/Western influenced percussion/
dance pieces are encouraged as are collaborations “on the cutting
edge.” Other suggestions are welcome.
Send all proposals with video to:
Percussive Arts Society, 701 N.W. Ferris Avenue

SPRING 2003 INTERNSHIP
The Percussive Arts Society is seeking applicants for our six-month
internship program beginning in early January 2003. In the past,
successful candidates for this position have either used internships at PAS as capstone semesters to complete music business
degrees or have been recent graduates of such programs. However, all percussion students who wish to gain industry experience
as a way of promoting career goals are encouraged to apply.
PAS interns acquire broad industry experience by assisting with a
variety of staff projects. However, the opportunity to work closely
with our new Director of Event Production and Marketing, Jeff
Hartsough—with his 17 years of music industry experience - will
make the spring 2003 internship especially valuable. Our spring
intern will work with Jeff on early planning and production of the
next international convention, marketing, and artist and manufacturer relations. Any young adult who intends to pursue a career in
the field of music business should not miss the opportunity

• a résumé of academic and work experiences;
• a copy of a paper submitted in an upper division course that includes an evaluation written by the student’s professor;
• a list of persons who have agreed to provide academic and
work-related recommendations, along with contact information;
• a cover letter that both describes the applicant’s career goals
and also discusses (based on a review of the public-access pages
of our website) how an internship with PAS could help to realistically promote those goals.

D
uring the late 1950s, it became the custom for a small
group of percussionists and interested music directors to
gather informally and discuss percussion problems during
the Mid-West Band Clinic held each December at Chicago’s
Sherman House. During the 1960 Clinic, Remo Belli, a
member of the group and an exhibitor at the convention,
invited the others to dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, and
during discussion, they developed the idea of forming a
percussion organization.
Gordon Peters became the first President of PAS; Jack
McKenzie took the position of First Vice-President and Mr.
Canedy continued as Executive Secretary. Also elected
were a Board of Directors and an Editorial Board. With this
solid structure, the Society became increasingly influential,
expanding its committee activities to address important
percussion issues and making policy decisions that would
result in important contributions to all areas of percussion.
A
Pictured above are several of the fourteen founding members of the
Society. (left to right, near side of table) Remo Belli, Jack McKenzie,
Don Canedy, Mervin Britton, (left to right, far side of table) Hugh
Soebbing, Vern Reamer and Sid Lutz, and Kenneth Leisen.
W
hen Mr. Belli returned home to California, he enlisted
the services of Robert Winslow, a professional percussionist and a North Hollywood high school band director, to
carry out the details of forming an organization. In early
1961, Mr. Winslow sent a series of letters concerning
membership to interested parties. Among the stated goals of
the organization were: “to stimulate a greater interest in
percussion performance and teaching,” and “to promote
better teaching of percussion instruments.”
In May of 1961, Mr. Winslow sent a letter proclaiming: “We
are underway. The Percussive Arts Society is open for
business,” and in September, the Society sent its first
publication, Percussive Arts Society Bulletin, printed on a
mimeograph machine donated by Mr. Belli, to the membership.
n important expansion occurred in 1967 when James
L. Moore’s already successful Percussive Notes
became an official PAS publication. Another milestone was
achieved in 1969 when the Society was incorporated in
Indiana as the Percussive Arts Society, Incorporated, a
status it maintained until 1985 when it was reincorporated
under the laws of Illinois.
Beginning in 1971, performances and clinics called
“Days of Percussion” were held
in conjunction with the yearly
business meetings. In 1974,
the first Percussive Arts Society
National Conference (PASNC)
was held in Anaheim and at
California State University at
Northridge. It was hosted by
then-California State Chapter
President Lloyd McCausland
and Joel Leach of CSU/
Northridge. The PASNC
evolved into the Percussive
1965 PAS Logo
Arts Society International
Convention that we know today as PASIC. The first PASIC
was held in 1976 at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, and was hosted by John Beck, the Eastman School
and the New York State Chapter.
I
t is important to note several significant awards presented
annually by the Society. First, since 1972, PAS has
inducted some of the most important people in percussion
into its Hall of Fame. Secondly, since 1974, the PAS Compo-
A
fter three Bulletins, a determination was made to transfer
the administrative and publication duties of the Society
to Professor Donald Canedy, who was the percussion
instructor and band director at
Southern Illinois University. In
April of 1963, Mr. Canedy, with
the advice of a distinguished
editorial board and an able group
of contributing editors, published
the new PAS journal, Percussionist (in later years called Percussive Notes Research Edition) in its
familiar booklet form. Mr. Canedy
served as de facto president
through 1964, when, at the
December Percussive Arts
Society meeting in Chicago, a
constitution was adopted and
regular officers were elected.

sition Contest has encouraged the production of hundreds
of new works, many of which have become part of the
standard percussion repertoire. During the 1990s four
additional annual awards were implemented to recognize
PAS volunteers and their importance to the society: PAS
Outstanding Chapter President Award; Outstanding PAS
Supporter Award; PAS President’s Industry Award; and
Outstanding PAS Service Award.
Thus, the Percussive Arts Society, which began in 1961 as
a group of fourteen concerned percussionists, has grown to
more than 6,000 members worldwide, with significant
influence on percussion performance, education, composi-

Arts Society is headquartered in Lawton, Oklahoma, where
the administrative offices and its museum of rare and
unusual percussion instruments are located in the Society’s
new building in Elmer Thomas Park. Construction of the
building was funded by PAS members and by the McMahon
Foundation in Lawton. The grand opening was in August
1992. Phase II of the building project involved the expansion
of the museum and was completed in 1995. Phase III of the
building project was completed in 2001, finishing 13,000
square feet of beautiful museum, library and office space.
