Mancini joins
k
Wesley an jazz band
in jazz combo concert
Tamela Cook
Stuff writer
Have you ever seen .a picture
painted with music? Well on Oct. 7,
this is what happened.
1 walked info the building and
the lights were dimmed, giving just
the right atmosphere for the night
ahead. 1 was entertained by a jazzed
up version of the Sesame Street,
theme song while the performers
moved around stage.
1 saw the crowd ranging from
high-school students to middle aged
people. The majority was middle
aged.
Dave Mancini was introduced
and the art display at Wesleyan
began. Mancini is a spry guy from
New York, with thick curly hair and
a small bald spot in the back of his
head: Although he may be small in
stature, he is big on boom.
The opening number was an
upbeat jazz song, "Blue Bossa" by
Kenny Dorham. Featured were
Arthur Castillo on tenor sax, Manny
Guerrero on trombone, Nick Salazar
on trumpet, Adam Stout on piano,
and of course Dave Mancini on
drums.
Mancini opened this song with
what felt like a samba beat. The jazz
instruments blended well until the
solos began.
Then while the trombone and
trumpet dropped out a lone sax
could be heard above the back-
ground music. Castillo's saxophone
sang a lush melody, showing his
musical talent. Then Guerrero cut in
with his solo which was just as
sweet as Castillo's.
Salazar's trumpet solo left noth-
ing to the imagination but Mancini's
drum solo- was the best.
Accompanied by Rick Flowers, on
the bongo drums, Mancini got faster
and faster then slowed things down
to finish the number. The mood
throughout the entire concert was

easy-going with communication
between the players apparent.
The last four numbers Tim Ishi
joined in on his alto sax. Le: me just
say it is not often you get to see
young talent like Castillo • and
Guerrero in full blossom and such
experienced talent like Ishi and
Mancini, come together.
Mancini was all smiles while he
played, signs of deep enjoyment in
his work. The song that featured
Chad Newman, a drummer, was also
upbeat with a little funk to it.
The electric guitarist had an
awesome solo, Joe Carpenter,
another aspiring drummer, played
for the song "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy"
by Joe Zawinal. This song was pure
jazz, which had a Saturday Night
Live feel to it.
With the talented solos of
Arthur Castillo, Ishi and Carpenter,
the song was "rocking."
The final song was Duke
Ellington's "Jam Blues." The music
was truly jamming and had a blues
feel to it because the beat was a lit-
tle lower and the music a little
softer.
Mancini led the way by quiet-
ing things down so that Guerrero's
trombone solo could be heard. Only
the trombone solo and the drums
were playing, but Mancini again led
the way by drawing the other instru-
ments in.
Adam Stout's piano solo was
pretty jazzy but it retained a little
classical element about it. The bass
guitarist finally got a chance to
prove himself in his solo which was
short and sweet.
Then Mancini and Flowers
gave it their all in a friendly compe-
tition of the best in percussion.
Manicini wound up champ by prov-
ing simplicity is best when he
resorted to playing just his drum
sticks.

Career Development Day;
Students "shadow" professionals on
the job in their desired fields
Jason Lamers
Staff writer
Seven Wesleyan students par-
ticipated in the annual Career
Development.Day sponsored by the
Advertising Club of Fort Worth, on
Sept. 25.
The students met with practU
tioners in the Fort Worth area and-
followed them to see how they
work.
Texas Woman's University, The
University of North Texas and Texas
Christian University also, sent stu-
dents to participate.
"It's a great chance to show stu-
dent's how it is in the real
market-place," said Rich Haas, mar-
keting director of the Mark of
Excellence Pizza Company, which
operates -more than 15 Domino's
Pizza stores in the Foil Worth area.
Haas took Steve Moody, a
Wesleyan student, to work with him
for the day. Haas has been working
for Domino's since 1984. "I've been
in marketing for 30 years," said
Haas.
Haas has been a member of the
Advertising Club of Fort Worth for
four years and this is his second year
to. participate in the Career
Development Day.
Moody, 20, a junior, said he
really liked speeding the afternoon
with Haas.
"He took me around to see the
stores and to the call center where
all the pizza orders are taken and
then sent to the stores around Fort
Worth," said Moody.
Haas said he showed Moody
the new stores in the area and
showed him how the new stores are
going to attract customers.
Moody said Haas's job was
what he expected it to be like. "We
rode around a lot, and his job
involved a lot of planning," said
Moody.
Moody said he learned how a
marketing executive must know how
to work as a team with all the man-
agers and employees and how il is
important to stay on task to keep the
company running smoothly.
Jenny Irvin, a senior, participat-
ed in Career Development Day for
the second time this Semester. Irvin
said the first time she did it, she
went lo the channel 5 station during
the presidential election and said it
was very fast paced.
This time Irvin spent the day
with Cris Johnson, an account exec-
utive for the Arlington Morning
News. "It was very interesting to see
how she had to convince people to
advertise in her paper," said Irvin.
Irvin said she likes to see how
real businessmen and women work.
"It's a lot different to see them at
work after being in class," said Irvin.
Irvin said she was surprised to
see how Johnson had to go out and
find people to advertise in the
Arlington Morning News instead of
people coming to her and looking to
advertise.
Dr. Tom Smith, a marketing
professor, introduced Moody and
Irvin to the Career Development
Day. Smith is also a member and a
representative of Wesleyan in the
Advertising Club of Fort Worth.
"This is a great chance for the
students. Sometimes students arc
offered internship or even jobs. Its
also a good way for companies to
find students interested in their field
of business," said Smith.
Both Moody,and Irvin said they
would recommend that students
interested in going in to business
participate in the Career
Development Day.
Other students who participated.
in the Career Development Day
were: Mirella Aghnatios. Joel
Burns, Tiffany Lamb, Jackie
Witsaman and Aly Jimison.
