Instrumen

Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penampilan orkes barisan umumnya dapat dikelompokkan pada beberapa kategori menurut jenis dan cara memainkannya. Pengelompokkan ini secara tidak langsung pula memengaruhi struktur organisasi kepelatihan yang umumnya dispesifikasikan menurut kategori-kategori tersebut, masing-masing kategori memiliki pelatih tersendiri. Selain kepelatihan, pengelompokkan ini umumnya berpengaruh pula pada perilaku sosial para pemain yang terlibat dengan menciptakan kelas-kelas sosial non-formal yang membentuk kebanggaan kelompok.

Instrumen Musik Tiup
Pada mulanya, ragam instrumen musik tiup yang digunakan dalam orkes barisan identik dengan yang digunakan drum band (orkes barisan versi terdahulu). Namun pada perkembangannya, beberapa jenis instrumen musik tiup seperti cornet, clarinet, flugelhorn, saksofon (termasuk di dalamnya sofrano, alto, dan tenor), trombone, sousaphone, dan flute yang jamak digunakan sebelumnya sudah ditinggalkan. Umumnya, instrumen musik tiup yang digunakan dalam orkes barisan menggunakan nada dasar B? atau F. Jenis-jenis instrumen musik tiup yang digunakan orkes barisan umumnya adalah:

• Trompet
• French Horn
• Mellophone
• Tenor Horn
• Baritone, Euphonium
• Contra Bass/Tuba

Instrumen Musik Perkusi
Instrumen musik perkusi dalam orkes barisan merupakan jenis instrumen bergerak yang dibawa oleh pemain dan dimainkan dalam barisan seperti halnya instrumen musik tiup. Seksi yang memainkan instrumen musik perkusi sambil berjalan disebut juga sebagai lini drum atau battery. Ragam instrumen musik perkusi yang digunakan orkes barisan umumnya lebih sedikit dari yang digunakan pada drum band. Instrumen-instrumen tersebut adalah:

• Snare drum
• Drum tenor / Quint
• Drum bass
• Simbal

Instrumen Pit (Statis)
Instrumen pit pada dasarnya merupakan instrumen musik perkusi yang bernada. Pada penampilan orkes barisan, jenis instrumen ini bersifat statis, pemainnya tidak ikut dalam barisan seperti kelompok instrumen lainnya melainkan memainkannya di bagian depan lapangan yang digunakan dalam penampilan. Ragam jenis instrumen yang digunakan orkes barisan umumnya lebih bervariatif dibandingkan drum band (orkes barisan terdahulu). Beberapa grup orkes barisan bahkan kadang-kadang merakit sendiri instrumen pit untuk menghasilkan suara-suara unik dalam musik yang dimainkan. Jenis-jenis instrumen pit yang umumnya digunakan pada penampilan orkes barisan antara lain:

• Xylophone
• Vibraphone
• Marimba
• Simbal
• Gong cina
• Timpani
• Drum bass konser
• Tubular bell

Instrumen Bendera
Instrumen bendera tidak digunakan untuk bermain musik, melainkan dimanfaatkan oleh pemainnya sebagai alat bantu aksi tarian untuk menghasilkan efek-efek visual tertentu yang mendukung penampilan. Pada praktiknya, pemain instrumen ini tidak selalu menggunakan bendera sebagai aksesori, namun bisa menggunakan peralatan-peralatan lain seperti senapan kayu, selendang, panji-panji, atau bahkan sapu, tergantung pada koreografinya untuk mendukung penampilan secara keseluruhan. Namun biasanya instrumen dasar yang digunakan adalah; bendera, dan senapan kayu.

Assignment

 Dicuss how the social media and bloggers, citizen journalists affect the existence or survival of news production organizations.
How are these news productions organizations surviving the threat from social media, bloggers and citizens.
For most of human history the main means of communication was special, with face to face communication being the norm. In such oral cultures, communication, ideas and knowledge were transmitted across generation by word of mouth and the kind of repositories of useful knowledge we are used to such books and libraries just did not exist. Once speech could be written down and stored initialy on stone, the first writing culture began to emerge, religions, have played a major part in the development of producing manuscripts and religious text for study and transportation, such as on papyrus and parchment, to literally spread the world.
Yet although technological advances and new uses of older technologies played a crucial part in the development of the mass media, the influence of social,cultural and economic factors must also be taken into account.
However in the late twentieth century, new digital technologies such as the mobile phone, video games digital television and internet, have revolutionized the mass media. By the early 1990s it was clear that the future lay not with the individual personal computer (pc) with a global system of interconnected computers -internet.
Although many computer users may not have realized it that time, the pc was quickly to become little more than a point of access to events happening else where - event happening on a network sretching across the planet, a network that is not owned by any individual or organization.
Ifact the spread of the social media such as the internet has affected news production organisations in several ways. Let take music for example, the global industry in recording music is one of the most concentrated. The four largest firms universal (which absorbed poly gram in 1998),Time Warner, Sony BMG and EMI - control between 80 and 90 percent of all music sales internaly (Herman and Mac Chesney 1997). Until January 2000, when it announced a merger with Time Warner, EMI was the only organization among the top five that was not part of a longer media conglomerate. The music industry experienced substantial growth during the mid-1990s,with sale in developing countries particularly strong, promoting many of the top organizations to sign up more local artist in anticipation of further market growth.
However, the music industry has been challenged by the arrival of the internet, which allow users to (illigally) share music for free more easily and extensively than before and to produce and disseminate their own music without the need for large media corporations and marketing drives.
When it comes to the case of news papers, for half a century or more, newspapers were the cheap way of conveying inw quickly and coprehensively to a mass public. But their influence has waned with the rise of radio, cinema and much more important television,and increasingly the internet. Example, figures for news paper readership suggest that the proportion of people who read a national daily paper in Ghana has declined since the 1980s. Among men the proportion of daily news paper readers dropped from 76 percent in 1996 to 60 percent in 2005-7; readership levels are some what lower among women,but similar drop from 68 percent to 51 percent has taken place.
Indeed when it comes to how the traditional media outlet such as the newspapers, films and music are going to survive in the present of the new technological media.
The newspapers, films, music and other traditional media organizations have to diversify their output into media in I order to survive. In doing so newspaper organizations fir example have to make their production affordable for all in order to attract more readers to survive. For instance, the cheap daily press was pioneered in the united states with 'one cent daiy' paper in New York. The invention of cheap news print was the key to the mass diffusion of the newspapers from the late nineteenth century onwards.
Indeed, for the traditional media to survive they have to progress or thrive in the new digital environment. This could be done if They rebrand their products to attract their audience. In conclusion for every old product to sustain its validity in the presence of the new ones, the organizations that produce such a product have to do rebranding or packaging in order to survive. The same should be applied to the old media organizations for survival.

Born at 8:45am-UT, A business developer, in total seriousness, approached Dal with the intention to start a chain of lunch shops decorated with his artwork, and call the chain "Dalcatessen". Dal responded by calling the business developer a "madman", and refused to accept any further offers., Early in his life, Dal was an admirer of the painter 'Pablo Picasso' (qv) and based several of his early paintings on Picasso's cubist style., He is mentioned in the song "Big Wedge" by former Marillion singer 'Fish (I)' (qv)., In 1945, he signed on with 'Walt Disney' (qv) to assist in the development of a film to be entitled "Destino". The film project was cancelled with only 15 seconds of animation completed. The film was finally completed and released in 2003., He is also briefly mentioned in the song "Was It All Worth It?" by 'Queen (I)' (qv), in their 1989 album "The Miracle"., Was a student and later collaborator with 'Luis Buuel' (qv). Met at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid., Had a relationship with 'Amanda Lear' (qv)., He included his wife, 'Gala Dal' (qv), as a central character in many of his paintings., He had an older brother also named Salvador Dal (October 12, 1901-August 1, 1903)that died at the young age of 1 year and 9 months, from gastroenteritis. Consumed with pain, Dal's parents wasted no time in begetting another child. He was born nine months later and was named after his brother. This deceased brother was a ghost rival of Dal's throughout his childhood and was a disturbing influence in his psychological make-up. He grew up under the feeling that the first Salvador Dal was the real one and he a mere forgery., In 1923, in Madrid, at the Residencia de Estudiantes, Dal met the poet Federico Garca Lorca who promptly fell in love with him. A close and passionate friendship developed in the following years. In the summer of 1927 Lorca twice tried physical intimacy with a somewhat complacent Dal. He, nevertheless, became fearful of the homo-erotic aspects of the friendship and distanced himself of Lorca in 1928., In a relatively recent retrospective at the Tate Modern in Britain, a panel declared that Salvador Dali had designed the Tarot Cards in "Let Live and Let Die".

Price 99?!

When your transaction is complete, click on "Return to Savage Coco Patterns"
and your pattern will appear.

A Divine Dinner dress inspired by Andre Courreges' designs forRomy Schnieder in the movie "LaPiscine."

The Film, the Plot and the Dress: A young couple, vacationing in the South of France, mostly by the pool in the sun. They are visited by our heroine's former lover and his young daughter. While her current Mr. Wonderful is off gallivanting at the beach with the daughter (that cad), our heroine is cooking up dinner in style. She is chic and cool in an open back maxi-dress that simply floats with elegance. Featuring an all-in-one self neck/armhole band, the dress falls straight from the neckline to a fluid hem. An excellent choice to show Mr. Had It And Lost It precisely what he let get away.

Pattern Notes & Skill Level: This pattern is a size Medium on 5'4" model, 36" bust. You will need to draft your size up or down. Skill level assumes intermediate and above sewing knowledge. Hook & eye closure at back neck, open back with facing, unlined. Pattern layout is not included but both dress front and back are cut on the straight grain fold. This pattern has been drafted to allow for either braless/wearing of a bra, depending on how low you decide to open the back facing.

Suggested Fabrics: Fluid silks, polys, lightweight knits.

Yardage Needed: 44"-45" W: 4-1/2"yrds; 52"-54"W:4 yrds.

Notions: 2 hook & eyes, Featherweight interfacing, 8 - 1"squares of organza; 1/4" Washable Wonder Tape, thread.

Assembly Instructions:

Seams on the all-in-one neckbandare 1/4", exceptwhere noted on side seams. Dress body side seams are 5/8" French seams.This patterns allows for a 1/4"+ 1/4" rolled hem on a 5' 4" frame. All seam and hem allowances are included in the pattern, you do not need to add them.

Print, assemble and cut out all .pdf pattern pieces. This pattern has 5 pieces and uses 46 sheets of 8" x 11 1/2" of paper to print. When assembled after printing it will look like this:

A pattern layout is not provided however,pattern pieces are cut the on straight grain fold of fabric. Cut fabric and interfacing, transfer any markings.

Interfaceone set of Front/Back armscye/neck bands. This will be the inside band. Sew Front (#3) to Back (#4) at shoulder seams only. Repeat for outside band.

Butterfly the shoulder seams by pressingshoulder seams of inside band towards the Frontand outside band towards the Back, as picturedbelow.

Baste a 1/4" seam allowance on the bottom selvage of the inside band only. Interfacing has been left off of the Tutorial pics of the bands. The photo below is the Tutorial's inside band - CF is on the right top of the pic and CB on the top left, shoulder seam in the middle, creating the neckline U on top and armscye upsidedown U on the bottom.

Sew a 1" square of organza to each inside corner of both bands. Trim and clip to but not through small pivot points.

Sew both bands together at neckline only, right side to right side. Clip curves, press and turn, wrong side to wrong side, press again. Lay out flat with one set of armscyes up and away from you and one set facing you.

Utilizing the All-in-One Facing technique, beginning at the bottom set of armscyes, roll the bands up towards the top armscyes, stopping at the top shoulder seam, as pictured below.

Take the top armscye and bring it down towards you, over the rolled bands,

then under the rolled bandsand up to meet its match, right side to right side, encasing the rolled fabric.

Sew armscye from side seam to side seam, being careful not to stitch throughany fabric encased in the tube. Clip curves, press seam then pull rolled fabric through tube. Press.

Repeat the procedure for the other side. Your will now have a machine finished neckline and armscyes. ?

Open out armscyes and sew side seams at 5/"8.

Apply interfacing to back facing placket (#5). This Tutorial utilized blue organza. Press facing (if using organza,press separate ) in half lengthwise,

and baste a line down the middle (stitch in the ditch) from top to bottom.

Press flat. Baste raw edges at 1/4"

and choose an edge finish. This tutorial utilized a rolled hem (to marginal success).

On wrong side of facing placket, draw a horizontal line at1/2" up fromthe desired back waist length opening dot (bra band or open to waist) and at1/8" to each side of the middle basting line, then draw a line from this marking to the dot, creating a stitching guide.

On back dress (#2), again presson fold line from neck edge to corresponding dot and baste a line from neck edge to dot, stitching in the ditch. Press flat. Place facing placket on dress back, right side to right side, and sew together 1/8" of either side of middle basting stitched to dot, decreasing stitch length at the 1/2" mark from dot. At dot, pivot, stitch 1-2 stitches across dot, pivot up to 1/2" mark, increase stitch length again and continue up to neck edge at 1/8" of other side of the middle basting stitch.

Cut facing open along middle basting line stitching, from neck edge just to but not through dot. Press seam towards facing and turn to inside. Understitch facing if desired. Understitching the facingis recommended on this dress to hold the facing to the inside. Baste facing to dress along neck edge.

The sample Divine Dinner dress was made from a sheer poly mesh (Hancock Fabrics) so required a lining. A white tricot purchased from Britex in San Francisco was used. The tricot lining altered the back opening facing construction only. Instead of a separate facing, a 1" stip of bias organza was laid along the back opening seam lines only instead of an interfaced facing. The stitching of the center basting lines, 1/8" of either side of same, the bottom point, turning right-side out and understitching remained the same as above

.

Sew dress front (# 1) to dress back (# 2) at side seams with a French seam (wrong side to wrong side at 1/4", press, turn right side to right side and sew again at 3/8"). Press.

Sew all-in-one outside neckband to dress beginning at back neck edge, pivoting at point(s). Clip where necessary, turn and press all seam allowances up into neckband. Press under raw edges of inside band along baste stitching.Wash Away 1/4" Wonder Tape or Steam-A-Seam aids in this step. There is a short Wonder Tape tutorial below. Stitch inside band down enclosing all raw edges. If desired, edgestitch all-in-one neck band at neckline,around armscyes and bodice seam(s). Attach hook & eye closure at neckline. Hem at desired length.

?

Complete the Look:

Invite a few friends and an old flame or two to dinner and don this captivating caftan. To complete her look, our heroine has chosen ivory espadrilles and swung her hair into a French twist (all the more to stay cool under increasingly hot circumstances) and a gold wrist bangle. Oh, and some more peach lip gloss - just in caseMr. Had It And Lost It requires akiss-off. So make this dress and create your own dramatic and Divine Dinner dress.

Heels or Esparilles?
Dine out or stay in?
Style or comfort?
One bangle or three?
Silver or Gold?

Answer:

Make TWO Divine Dinner Dresses.
One short, one long.

Now, wasn't that easy?

Tutorial

1/4" Washable Wonder Tape

The single most fantastic sewing notion. Ever.

The sample Divine Dinner dress was made from a sheer poly mesh (Hancock Fabrics) so required a lining.Awhite tricot purchased from Britex in San Francisco was used.The tricot lining altered the back opening facing construction only. Instead of a separate facing, a 1" stip of bias organza was laid along the back opening seam lines only instead of an interfaced facing. The stitching of the center basting lines, 1/8" of either side of same, the bottom point, turning right-side outand understitching remained the same as above.

Once the back opening was completed,the side seams sewn and turnedright-sideout, the two layers were treated as one and thegarment was completed as the instructions above. However, the mesh and tricotbeing quite lightweight, some seam stabilization was needed to aid in constuction both running the fabric through the machine and to keep selvages from stretching out of shape.

First, Sullivan's Fabric Stabilizer was sprayed along all the selveges - twice - letting coats dry in betweenapplication.

Second, Washable Wonder Tape was used to bastethe neckline and armsyces selvages together instead of a traditional basting stitching. You will see it used belowin photos of the dress neckline, armscyes and neckband.

Working on a flat surface, finger press the tape onto the fabric then run your nail along the first inch or so to help separate the tape from its white base.

Peel off the white base

For the neckband inside edge, roll over at the basting stitch and finger-press down. For the fashion fabric and lining, finger-presstogether wrong side to wrong side along neckline and armscyes. The dress pieces are now stabilized and ready to be sewn as one layer into the neckband.

A note on stitching the mesh: On the conventional machine,a size 9 ball point needle was used, alternating a 1.0 zig-zag width, 2.5 length for stitch runs beween the neck band corner pivot points; thena 2.5 straight stitch when both re-inforcing and stitching the pivot points. Side seams were serged but the above zig-zag would work too. Mesh does not ravel.

Enjoy!
