Staff Writer -
Fame, even silent fame, is
something most people only dream
about, and it usually ends at just
that- a dream.
Today, Tandy Sturgeon is liv
ing that dream. After nearly a
decade of intense dedication and
practice, one can find Sturgeon as
a trombone player in the Portland
Youth Philharmonic.
A second year student at
Clackamas, Sturgeon also performs
as a vital member of the Jazz and
Concert Bands.
Sturgeon dedicates extreme
amounts oftime to his music, seven
hours a week minimum practice
for the Youth Philharmonic. This
is not including private practice,
individual lessons, Clackamas band
performances and Philharmonic
performances.
Sturgeon hopes to pass his
skills on by majoring in music
education, “eventually out of
state,” at a small four year institu
tion, which has not yet been deter
mined. Sturgeon plans to audi
tion for a music scholarship at
various colleges in the next few
months.
His long-term goals are to get
a job teaching music and to “keep
practicing until I can get a steady
gig...”. Preferably, adds Sturgeon,
“in a big orchestra.”
Besides playing his trombone
and attending classes at Clacka
mas, he is “just starting to get into
cycling”.
He adds that cycling is a sport
he truly enjoys but, “there are only
24 hours in a day.”

MOVIE REVIEW
Crumb teams up with Nikki
Downing, played by Shawnee
Smith, the sister of the kidnaped
victim. They follow her step
mother everywhere, believing it is
she who is the kidnaper.
While Harry Crumb is fol
lowing Mrs. Downing, so is Drai-
son. Draison is in love with Mrs.
Downing and has planned the
whole kidnapping for her. He
believes if he could pull off the
kidnapping, he could also get Mrs.
Downing to be his wife.
After
John Candy gets stuck in a tele
phone booth, he realizes he has to
get to the airport to stop the kid
nappers before their plane leaves.
Everybody finally ends up at the
airport, with Harry Crumb com
ing out as a hero.
John Candy does an outstand
ing job as Harry Crumb, keeping
the audience laughing and guess
ing whom he will dress up as next.
