Show Citizen, Press, Review, Wed., Sept. 11 , 1985 - Page 17 Big band legend, Woody Herman, to perform The Herd averages six per-formances a week, 50 weeks a year. About a third of Herman's dates are at high schools and colleges where he performs at night and gives clinics and seminars to music and band students during the day. He travels a few months each year for overseas performances and has been featured on "The Tonight Show," "The Merv Griffin Show," "The Mike Douglas Show" and six PBS specials, among them "The Big Band Bash" and a PBS documentary entitled "Woody." Woody Herman will bring his Thundering Herd to BYU Sept. 24 with a sound that flourished during the big band era of the 1940's and survives with a troupe that shows no indication of heading for a last round-up- . As one of a handful of bands with the resilience to survive the waning of the swing era. Herman's Herd travels throughout the world year-roun- d to offer its characteristic powerhouse sound. BYU's performance will begin at 8 p.m. in the de Jong Concert Hall, Harris Fine Arts Center. Tickets are available through the music ticket office, 378-744- Herman is a year short of celebrating 50 years with the Herd, as his music machine is commonly known. Herman acts as herdsman to a young group of skilled players barely out of their teens and applies modern adaptations to his jazz beats. Among his songs that have sold more than a million recordings are "Laura," "Blues in the Night," and his biggest hit, "Woodchopper's Ball," which sold five million copies and remains one of his most requested pieces. Herman entered show business more than 60 years ago at age eight when he appeared on a stage as a prodigy clarinet player and tap dancer. He performed in several bands at Marquette University and premiered his own "Band That Played the Blues" in 1936 at the Roseland Ballroom in Brooklyn. Herman's band soon joined the popular big bands and played such songs as "Blues on Parade," "Blue Prelude" and "Blue Flame," Herman's theme song. During this period he recorded with singing artists Bing Crosby and the An-drews Sisters. By 1945, he had one of the most popular bands of the time, dubbed by critic George T. Simon as "The Thundering Herd." SflJ TC'JS, IMC. XwVL NEW WATTS NUMBER XJC 1 -- 80Q-83 1 --0749 Orem & Am.

Cinderella' ballet for all ages Utah Regional Ballet's Sept. 13 and 14 production of "Cinderella" promises to be an event of fairytale enchantment that all ages will enjoy. Referring to this ballet as her "total fantasy," Jacqueline P. Colledge, artistic director, hints of magical surprises that will surely delight the audience. With the assistant of the fairy godmother and her fairies, a pumpkin will be transformed into a majestic coach Iwhile a sad peasant girl in rags becomes a beautiful princess. The "Cinderella" story basically remains faithful to the original fairytale, and is musically set to Rossino overtures selected by Mrs. Colledge. With a cast of 75 dancers, and actors, she manages to touple i classical ballet with tumorous highlights. For example, the two ugly stepsisters are both played by men. Corinne Adams and Laura Clarke will share the leading role of "Cinderella," while Jennifer K. Johnson and Martha Shill will both appear as the fairy godmother. JoAnne K. Brown portrays the wicked stepmother. Hugh Bigney, principal dancer for Pacific-Northwe- st Ballet Company, will be the featured guest artist who will astound all with his exceptional dancing ability. Artist Bill Kirkpatrick once again has created unbelievably unique sets in which the tale unfolds. Sarah Price's elegant costumes add the finishing touch for the production. Tickets are available at Wiggle Wear in University Mall, Bert Murdocks in Orem, and Dan-cewor-in American Fork. The performances will be held at Timpview High School in Provo. Opera sets evening of comic operettas Opera West, Utah County's own opera company, will feature singers from all over the valley as part of its Apprentice Program with "An Evening of Comic Operettas." More than 80 singers will par-ticipate on Sept. 23, 26, 28 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Springville High Auditorium as the opera company presents "Ichabod!" "The Telephone," and "Trial by Jury." Artistic Director, Gene Larsson, said, "We were delighted to find so much talent in the area that we could double-cas- t all the leading roles, giving even more people the opportunity to perform." Mr. Larsson also mentioned that in the apprentice program there is a unique blend of first time singers and veterans. "We have people like Mr. Karl Barton, a music teacher at Springville High, who, at the age of 50, is making his stage debut as the judge in 'Trial by Jury.' We also have young people, such as Mindy Whiting of Spanish Fork, who already are experienced per-formers." The result is both exciting and challenging, but worth every minute of work and dedication. Tickets are $15 for families, $3 for senior citizens and children under 12, and $4 for adults and are available at the door, the Video Stop, Springville, and Wakefields, Provo. Come and discover opera at its finest and funniest. Scott Hamilton to highlight Ice Capades at Utah State Fair Full of glitter, flash and dazzle, Ice Capades' new revue, "Dream World," will be a feature attraction during the Utah State Fair Thur-sday, Sept. 5 through Sunday, Sept. 15. The extravaganza on ice will take place at the Salt Palace in down-town Salt Lake City; the ticket price ' includes admission to the state fair. Highlighting the family spec-tacular will be Scott Hamilton, 1984 Olympic gold medalist and four-tim- e world champion. The Denver-traine- d athlete has won 18 gold medals in skating competition, including four consecutive U.S. national titles. Hamilton became a favorite of Utah audiences while he was in Salt Lake City in 1984 win-ning his most recent national title. When Hamilton was eight years old, he wasn't sure he had a future. He was suffering from an intestinal disorder which prevented him for digesting nutrients and con-sequently curbed his growth. He had made the rounds of doctors and hospitals - one doctor diagnosed cystic fibrosis, another said Schwachmann's Syndrome, and a third dictor diagnosed lung disease. It was then that Scott watched his sister ice skate and decided to take up the sport. Gradually he recovered his health. ..- - . ?v. Hamilton will be making his Salt Lake professional debut in this year's Ice Capades, which plays at the Salt Palace for 17 per-formances. The show is a g two-hou- r spectacular, fair director Art Jones promises. Color, choreography, costumes, world class skating and humor make it, along with the fair admission, a great bargain in family en-tertainment, Jones added. Ice Show tickets are available at the fairgrounds ticket booth (open during daytime hours from Tuesday, Sept. 3, through the end of the fair), the Salt Palace and all Datatix outlets. 11 BYU Ramses II class enthusiastically attended BYU got its first taste Thursday light of just enthusiastic people are about the Ramses II exhibit of Egyptian artifacts coming to the school in late October.
