Smith designed the makeup for Sweeney Todd, performed at DSC last fall. Guy has the whole package, Davenport said. Hes a guy who can sing, dance, and act well, but he took it upon himself to try something else. Smith said he loves to paint and sketch, but he loves doing theater make up because its different from what hes used to. Theres always something to do better (when painting), so I keep retouching and retouching, but with makeup shows tend to change, Smith said. Its just a whole new medium, and Ive learned to think outside the box. Davenport said when he asked Smith to help with the show by doing makeup he gave him some guidelines about the concept of the designs. We came up with the conceptual designs together until we found something we both liked,' h said. I was very impressed with the end result. Davenport said the more range of experi Smith said for his future plans he wants to do theater makeup and wouldnt avoid accepting jobs that allow him to do bizarre makeup. Its not the best paying thing, but I get to work closely with the theater company," Smith said. Im creating my portfolio from show to show to have something for the future. Davenport said he will continue to give Smith more challenging roles. If down the road we will need another makeup designer we will use him again, Davenport said. I think we may even ask him to help us with costume design. We want him to do a wide range of different things." Besides shows, Smith likes to do makeup for other purposes, like Halloween. Last Halloween I painted a big gash on my neighbors moms head, he said. phone preferences can The Ten Tenors to sing in reveal personal information Cox Auditorium tomorrow Cell ROBERTS BY WHITNEY Dixie Sun Staff Cell Writer phones come in many different ors and sizes, styles, col- and usually about their owners Motorola's Razrs, Rizrs and Krzrs, and Kyocera's Slider are just a few of the more popular phones on say a lot market today. When people are looking for a phone they usually look the that fits their personal needs and style. Mp3 players and cameras are just a few of the on phones for one s today. Nuttall, Casey a cell phone sales associate at the Costco bosk, said younger genera- tions like phones with gadgets. "They are always looki- ng for the most he said. "They phones that have a lot of options so they can keep themselves entertphones," like ained." Some don't students really mind what kind of phone they have as long as they have one that works. "My phone is just what I need," said Griffith, Carly a sophomore nursing Major from Salt Lake City. I use it to call and text, and that's all I need it for." Griffith said the look of ner phone is not what describes her; it's what is on her phone that does the job. a lot of pictures I find interesting n my phone," Griffith sa'd. also have certain ring tones for 'different have of things I "1 Peple so I always know calling me." who is 4 Carlie O'Neill, a freshman undecided major from Ogden, said she's careless with her phone. She said a phone is a phone, and hers doesn't necessarily describe her personality because it has a lot of scratches on it. O'Neill said its not worth it to her to spend a lot of money on a nice phone when most likely she'll end up treating it the same way. On the other hand, Megan Jolley, a sophomore dental hygiene major from Ivins, said her cell phone describes her quite a bit. Jolley is the owner of a blue Sanyo Katana with a picture of her LDS missionary as the screen saver. She said her phone might let people know that she is not afraid of color because of the brightness of hers. McCall Tanner, a sophomore nursing major from Hurricane, is the owner of a Verizon white Chocolate phone. She said she bought her phone so it would match her new white car. I guess you could say I outgot my phone for the ward appearance because its cute and always looks clean, Tanner said. She said she has put a lot of her favorite music from artists like The Used and FaU Out Boy on her on phone. She is also big so her pictures, taking some phone has captured great moments where cameras werent available. Other students are attracted to phones with a lot of technology, such as V. f abo phones, like the line of Verizon Chocolate phones arnong the most popular phones for students. Camera are BlackBerries, Sidekicks and iPhones, where they are able to access not only music and pictures, but and can also check search the Web. "I think people with high tech phones and sysBluetooth hands-fretems say a lot about their personality," Griffith ,, e said. Whenever she sees people with an iPhone or a BlackBerry Griffith said she automatically assumes they are busy people who need all the different types of technology on them at all times, and it's preferable to have it all in one device. Whenever I see people with smaller or nice phones I tend to think those people have a lot of money, Tanner said. Griffith said she thinks people stereotype owners of nice phones a lot. I think its common for people to assume those owners have a lot of money, she agreed. Tanner said she thinks people with Sidekicks look really sophisticated and in tune with technology because it has a whole keyboard on it. For those people who don't have money to buy a new phone but want to change the appearance of their current one, there are many available options. There are kiosks at the mall that sell cell phone covers and other accessories. Some people even decorate their phones with stickers or jewels. Griffith said people who decorate their phones with jewels and stickers make them look too tacky, and then the users look tacky as well. One sticker on a phone is OK because it can show what someone is interested in, Griffith said. But when they do more than that I think its kind of over the top and annoying. The possibilities are endless when it comes to g owners personalizing cell I phones to make a state-ment about who they are. What does your phone say about you? BY JACKIE FLETCHER Dixie Sun A&E Editor men from Australia are coming to sing at Dixie State College as part of the Celebrity Concert Series. The Ten Tenors will be performing inside the Cox Auditorium Thursday and Friday with both performances starting at 7:30 p.m. According to their Web site, www.thetentenors.com, the group debuted in 1995, when all of the men were young opera students at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane, Australia. They started out slowly with few A group of 10 performances and started touring in 1998 through Australia. They have been touring in the U.S. since 2003 and currently tour world-wide- . All of the men are classicallto be able to y-trained sing music of all different genres, including pop, classical, Celtic and many others. According to the Web site, more than 77 million people have seen them in concert to date. Gail Bunker, Celebrity Concert Series director, said she was approached by the groups agent about coming to St. George as part of the series. She said she presented the idea to the CCS board, and everyone agreed they would be a good addition. They are all quite young, Bunker said. All of their biographies are quite professional and impressive. Bunker said many of the men in The Ten Tenors have won awards for their outstanding abilities as singers, and have been in world-clas- s operas and choirs. They have been in various operas, touring individually as soloists, and are all highly professional, Bunker said. They are not just some kids that got together and decided to sing. Blending all of their voices together is a whole different scenario as well. Its one thing to sing solo and another thing to sing in a combined genre like they do. She said none of the tenors will be using microphones at the performance in order to keep their sound more natural. However, they will be using a piano and drum kit. As far as what they are expected to perform here, Bunker said the group prefers to keep their options open and unannounced to the audience. Their repertoire is wide, Bunker said. I dont know what their pro- gram will be." Bunker said she saw a video of the group performing and was impressed with them right away. They are funny, Bunker said. In their concerts they banter with the audience quite a bit, which will be fun. They do it so people feel connected to them. Angela Frank, a sophomore psychology major from Orcas Island, Wash., said she had not heard of The Ten Tenors until recently. Frank said she thinks it would be a lot of fun to go to their concert, seeing as she has not been to a concert for a while. That would be fun to see, Frank said. Its something Ive never been to before. Frank said she heard about the group coming through a friend who made plans to go. friend is Frank said. My so excit- I think Ill go to find out why. Tickets to see The Ten Tenors can be purchased through the DSC box office at Prices are $18 for adults, $12 for anyone under 18, and $3 for DSC students with current ID cards. Students really ought to come see what its like, Bunker said. If they stay they might just find they enjoy it. We can sell all of those tickets for $18, but we want to offer students the chance to attend at a cheaper price. ed, WWMiWIIIII
