Country music star Deana Carter performed a concert in Flora, MS on Saturday, September 23. Her concert was an outdoor concert at a beautiful venue. On the main stage, were all of the instruments, lighting, and microphones needed for her performance. As she began to sing, her performance truly was breathtaking.

It was truly incredible to hear someone that talented, live in concert.

I am fixing my hair, and humming along to a song I heard on the radio, when I hear the concert start. I heard the announcements begin and the lights go dim. There was people all around me.

Flamenco was originally emanating from Andulusia in southern Spain. Flamenco includes three parts: cante, toque, baile, pitos and jaleo. These five refers to singing, guitar playing, dancing, finger snapping, and vocalization with handclapping. According to Israel J. Katz, "the term ‘flamenco’ appears to have been linked to a way of life exemplified by generosity, boisterousness and recklessness." (Grove Music Online, "Flamenco") There are many theories of how flamenco was brought to Spain. For instance, some theories believe that the flamenco music were brought to Spain by the Flemish immigrants, and other claim that flamenco music were Arab songs, which were brought to Spain by the Gypsies.

In 1975, Gus Giordano published the book, The Anthology of American Jazz, which lays out everything that he discovered over the course of his career (“History.”). Giordano’s technique, drawn from his previous training, cultural upbringing, and his immigrant roots, created a true American art form (Sabo, “Embodying Classical Jazz Dance Technique” 2). Unlike Mattox’s complex aesthetic and Luigi’s balletic quality, the central value of Giordano’s jazz technique is derived from the power and strength initiated from the core and extending through the rest of the body (Sabo, Made in America 63). Though many forms of dance contain this principle, Gus took it a step further by specifying the importance of energy in even the smallest parts of the body. For example, his book suggests exercises for conditioning the fingers in order to correctly perform his signature, often complex, hand positions seen throughout his choreography (Sabo, “Embodying Classical Jazz Dance Technique” 5).

Being unplugged gave me an array of mixed feelings and emotions. I felt invigorated because I was able to step back from my busy, hectic schedule and realize just how blessed I am for all the opportunities that I have in my life. I am able to attend one of the best Jesuit Universities; I have the opportunity to play softball at a Division 1 university. Lastly, I get to surround myself with outstanding students and faculty. I also realized, once again, how amazing my family is for always supporting me and being there for me. I sometimes forgot how much my parents have sacrificed to help me get where I am and being unconnected and getting lost in my thoughts reconfirmed all that they have sacrificed for me and my sisters. Being unconnected and

The concert was performed on the Southam Hall stage at the NAC; this is a large hall with extremely good acoustics. It is a nationally known stage, so the quality of the hall is very good. Generally, the audience was very receptive as it was composed of adults, who were all silent. The acoustics were very good as the hall spread the sound throughout the hall without making it echo. This had a positive effect on the performance, because it was possible for the orchestra to be clearly heard from any point in the entire hall. I was impressed by the large number of students that I saw that night because the show deserved to have been heard by many young people.
