PAS President’s Welcome
W
elcome
back to
Indianapolis
and our 35th
Percussive
Arts Society
International
Convention!
We can now
call Indy our home as we have
settled nicely into our museum, office
and convention space. We hope that
you find our “percussion campus”
very comfortable as well with its
great restaurants and vibrant downtown.
PASIC 2010 will feature a spectacular lineup of world-class performers, clinicians, panel discussions and
workshops, performances, concerts;
and of course, the amazing display
of percussion instruments, cymbals,
sticks, mallets, music, DVDs, and
much more. This event would not be
possible without the tireless work
of PAS Director of Events Production and Marketing Jeff Hartsough
and PAS Executive Director Michael
Kenyon. I would also like to sincerely
thank our percussion industry members; for without their dedication,
hard work, and financial support, we
would not be where we are today.
Please visit the International Drum
and Percussion Expo often!
At PASIC 2009, we opened Rhythm!
Discovery Center. I hope you can
all find the time to walk over and
enjoy this wonderful museum collection again this year. Admission
will be free for PAS members who
are attending PASIC 2010. We will
be featuring a new George Hamilton
Green exhibit curated by Ryan Lewis
with the assistance of PAS Museum
Curator and Librarian Otice Sircy. Additionally, there will be three presentations at Rhythm! Discovery Center.
The first will feature Ryan Lewis and
his work with the Green exhibit at
1 p.m. on Thursday (November 11,
2010). On Friday (November 12, 2010) at
1 p.m., Richard Cooke will lead a presentation on the acquisition and restoration of “Old Granddad,” Lou Harrison’s
unique gamelan that will include a short
performance of this remarkable instrument now on display in the plaza. Then,
on Saturday (November 13, 2010) at
1 p.m., PAS Historian James Strain will
dig into the PAS instrument collection
and showcase several rare and special
Leedy instruments from our inventory.
We’re very excited about the addition
of the College Pedagogy Committee
Mentoring Day created and conceived
by the PAS College Pedagogy Committee. This daylong event scheduled
for Wednesday (November 10, 2010)
brings together a stellar panel of master
teachers, academic administrators, and
leadership consultants. The purpose of
the day is to provide pre-tenure collegiate percussion instructors and graduate percussion students interested in
teaching at the collegiate level with
the necessary tools to be successful in
navigating the college job market and
pre-tenure period.
PASIC Focus Day 2010 – “Ecology of
Percussion” will be blended into the
daily schedule on Thursday (November 11, 2010). It is our hope that many
more of you will be able to enjoy these
great performances, in addition to the
Wednesday evening Focus Day opening
concert, which features among others,
She-e Wu and So Percussion.
Additionally, the final round of the
PAS Drumset Competition will take
place at PASIC 2010. On Thursday
morning, the finalists, selected by an
esteemed judging panel will perform
with a live rhythm section in front of Jeff
Hamilton, Matt Wilson, Stanton Moore,
Ignacio Berroa, Danny Gottlieb, Horacio
Hernandez, Russ Miller, and J.R. Robinson. It’s a bit like “American Idol” for
drummers. Be there!
As usual, we have a variety of PAS
awards that will be presented prior to
the Thursday evening concert featuring
Ten Drum Art Percussion Group from
Taiwan. This short presentation ceremony provides us with an opportunity to honor and appreciate the hard
working people in our Society.
This year’s PAS Hall of Fame recipients, Stanley Leonard, Walter Rosenberger and Jack DeJohnette will be
inducted on Friday evening at our Hall
of Fame Celebration. How exciting to
add these great musicians to our very
distinguished group of master percussionists. You will be able to meet one
of the recipients prior to the Friday
evening concert featuring the great
Stanton Moore.
This annual gathering of students,
teachers, artists, and industry is like
no other. You can count on seeing old
friends and making new ones. PASIC
is about bringing people together
from all over the world for the sake of
percussion. PASIC 2010 represents in
full view, the Society’s core values of
Discovery, Quality, Community, Opportunity and Service. Enjoy!!

PASIC 2011 Focus Day Proposal
“Five Decades of New Music for Percussion: 1961–2011”
The New Music/Research Committee of the Percussive Arts Society is pleased to announce a call for proposals for
presentation/performance at the 2011 PASIC Focus Day, November 9, in Indianapolis, Indiana. PASIC 2011 marks
the 50th Anniversary of the Percussive Arts Society, and to celebrate the occasion, the theme for Focus Day 2011
will be “Five Decades of New Music for Percussion: 1961–2011.” Soloists, ensembles, composers, and scholars
are invited to send in proposals for performances and presentations.
The committee calls for a wide and representative variety of percussion music to be presented, with specific focus
on percussion solo and ensemble literature composed between 1961–2011, representing the birth of PAS through
the first 50 years of its existence and development. It is the intention of the committee that the major masterworks
and the significant composers of our field from this time period will be well represented in the proposals submitted
from the membership at large. It is also the intention of the New Music/Research Committee that music for all
percussion solo instrumentation be represented, as well as music drawing from the full spectrum of the solo and
percussion ensemble repertoire of the past 50 years, including new and previously unknown works.
Schedule
of Events
Wednesday
November 10
The only stipulations in preparing an application are that the music must have been composed between the years
of 1961–2011, and that the piece be for percussion instruments only. It is not the desire of the committee to
receive proposals that include the use of electronics and/or the inclusion of any non-percussionists or non-percussion instruments (with the exception of the piano). Suggested topics for presentation include: masterworks for solo
instruments, masterworks for percussion ensemble, experiments with tradition, experiments with organized sound,
experiments with non-western influences, experiments with the interpretation of graphic notation, experiments with
timbre & texture fields, experiments with minimalism, experiments with complexity, experiments with extended techniques, etc. With the intent of including as many and as wide a variety of performers and performances as possible,
the committee requests that applicants submit proposals for the performance and/or presentation of a specific
piece of literature rather than for a collection of pieces or an entire session. The day will be organized around five
mixed concerts from the five decades of PAS, with a culminating evening showcase performances representative of
the entire 50-year time period.
As always, the committee is interested in the participation of both emerging and established artists. Applications
from performers, composers, scholars, and ensembles featured in past New Music Research and/or Focus Days
are expected and are encouraged. All proposals that meet the criteria and qualify for inclusion on the 2011 PASIC
Focus Day will be given complete and careful consideration. Please note: expenses and the securing of instruments
and funding sources will be the sole responsibility of the artist(s) themselves. This includes all logistical and financial
considerations associated with the performance. Please prepare and submit your proposal with this consideration
in mind.
For additional information, please contact: Dr. Eugene D. Novotney, New Music/ Research Committee,
E-mail: novotney@humboldt.edu. Now accepting Applications at www.pas.org, deadline December 15th.

pas 2010 Awards
The Outstanding PAS Service Award was established
to recognize an individual each year that has provided service to the organization through a significant
project, cause, or cumulative service that has made
a significant contribution to the Society as a whole.
This year’s recipient of the 2010 Outstanding PAS
Service Award is Richard Cooke. Cooke has provided
an invaluable service to the Percussive Arts Society
through his restoration and presentation of Lou
Harrison’s “Old Granddad” gamelan at PAS’s Rhythm!
Discovery Center.
R
ichard Cooke founded the Freenotes Company
in 1990 to bring the joy of playing music into the
life of anyone
who wished for it.
Based on the gamelan
instruments of Indonesia, the Freenotes
gamelan instruments can be played
freely regardless of
musical training. The
Freenotes gamelan
instruments also have
been extensively
influenced by Lou
Harrison’s ideas, and have expanded into numerous
permanent outdoor installations across the United
States and other countries. Cooke met Lou Harrison
as a player in a performance of his La Koro Sutro,
and was subsequently commissioned to replicate
Harrison’s original American Gamelan, “Old Granddad”, which was deteriorating after twenty years of
use. Receiving a Grammy award with the Paul Winter
Consort in 2008, Cooke performs on a variety of instruments, particularly woodwinds.
The Outstanding PAS Supporter Award was established to recognize an individual each year that has
significantly promoted the Society through his or her
professional and educational activities to increase
visibility and awareness of the Society. The 2010
recipient of the Outstanding PAS Supporter Award
is Matthew Groshek. Groshek’s tireless work with
and supervision of museum exhibits for Rhythm! has
provided an increased awareness and visibility of
percussion and PAS to all.
M
atthew Groshek is currently Associate
Professor and Public Scholar of Exhibit Planning and Design at Indiana University-Purdue
University Indianapolis. As principal of the experience
design firm Education
Design Link, Groshek
has been planning
and creating interpretive design solutions
for over 20 years. He
works closely with
clients to develop
communication tools
that serve not only
the needs of the
94
audience, but also those of the organization’s staff and
volunteers. Groshek coordinates research, writing,
illustration, graphic production, exhibit fabrication,
and installation as needed for each project. He is
also involved in community place-making initiatives,
sustainability mapping, and advocacy.
The PAS President’s Industry Award was established
to recognize those individuals in the Percussion
Industry that have demonstrated outstanding achievement in their field and outstanding support of the
Society. The 2010 PAS President’s Industry Award
recipient is Brock Kaericher, President of Remo, Inc.
The visionary leadership of Kaericher has brought
Remo, Inc. to new heights with innovations in world
percussion instrument development, health and
wellness through percussion, and of course drum
head manufacturing. Deserving of the PAS President’s
Industry Award, Kaericher has said about his role at
Remo, “As I see it, my role at Remo, and Remo’s role
in the world, is about much more than just making and
marketing musical instruments; what we do has the
power to change people’s lives.”
P
resident of Remo, Inc., Brock Kaericher grew up
in the suburbs southwest of Chicago, Illinois and
attended Western Illinois University, where he
graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor of Business degree
in industrial relations and accounting. Prior to moving
to Southern California
and joining Remo, Inc.
in 1996, he held key
positions in manufacturing, management,
sales, and marketing
with companies in
the automobile and
computer component
industries. Kaericher
currently serves on
the Board of Directors
of Remo, Inc., Remo
Asia, Inc., and the R&K Corporation. In addition to
being a member of many organizations in the music
education and music products industries, he is on the
board of Trustees of VanderCook College of Music as
well as a former member of the Board of Directors
of NAMM and a past Director of the College of the
Canyons Foundation.
The Outstanding PAS Chapter Award recognizes
individual chapters who have increased membership
and provided percussion events, newsletters, and
experiences that are beneficial for the continued
music education of all chapter members. This award
replaces and enhances the PAS Outstanding Chapter
President Award, which was an annual award
presented on behalf of the Society for nineteen years
to an Outstanding Chapter President. Knowing that
an outstanding chapter president’s contributions are
really the reflection of the work of the other chapter
officers as well as the chapter membership, the
Outstanding Chapter Award was integrated into the
Society’s awards in 2010. The 2010 Outstanding PAS
chapter award goes to the Arizona Chapter. Current
officers of the Arizona Chapter are Josh Gottry (President), Joe Goglia (Vice President), and Wes Hawkins
(Secretary/Treasurer).
he Arizona Chapter of the Percussive Arts
Society (AZPAS) is an active and vibrant organization working in support of percussion and
percussion education throughout the state of Arizona.
AZPAS organizes and sponsors two annual percussion
festivals: a fall festival
geared toward junior
high and high school
drumline performance
and a spring festival
focused on concert
percussion, drumset,
and world percussion. Each festival
typically reaches an
audience of nearly
1000 percussionists,
teachers, parents,
and community members. In addition, the chapter
promotes percussion performances and clinics
happening within our state, and our chapter members
present workshops and concerts in conjunction with
other state music organizations. AZPAS is truly a
team driven organization reliant on numerous member
volunteers to host, adjudicate, organize, and promote
these percussion activities.
T
The Percussive Arts Society Lifetime Achievement
Award in Education was established in 2002 and
recognizes the contributions of the most highly
regarded leaders in percussion education. The 2010
PAS Lifetime Achievement Award in Education recipient is Michael Udow. Udow’s wealth of contributions
as an educator, performer, composer, and instrument
designer, have influenced many percussionists and
musicians worldwide over the years and will for
years to come.
M
ichael Udow has an expansive diversified
career including the symphonic and opera
repertories, contemporary solo and chamber
music, and composition. Udow served as Professor
of Percussion Studies at the University of Michigan
from 1982 until his
retirement in 2010.
Additionally, he
served as Principal
Percussionist with
the Santa Fe Opera
from 1968 through
his retirement after
the 2009 season. His
credentials also include being a member
of the New Orleans
Philharmonic, Summit
Brass, the dance/percussion duo Equilibrium, the Tone
Road Ramblers, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival,
Galaxy Percussion Group and numerous other cham-
ber ensembles. Udow has performed as a soloist at
Paris’s Dragon Center, Amsterdam’s Stedliejk Museum,
Tokyo’s Interlink Festival, Düssledorf’s Rhine Music
Festival, Salzburg’s Aspekte Festival, England’s Dartington Dance Festival, and Tübingen’s International
Percussion Days. He composed two operas, The Shattered Mirror and Twelve Years a Slave. The Shattered
Mirror chamber percussion version of this opera with
singers and dancers was premiered at the PASIC 1998
in Orlando, Florida. As performer and composer, he
can be heard on the Columbia, Columbia/Denon, Forte
Music, Advance, Opus One, CRI, Orion, New World,
EQ and Einstein labels. Udow has also designed and
