FEATURE March 4,1992 THE CLACKAMAS PRINT Page 3 CCC jazz groups perform Vocal jazz contest held Program assists nursing students by Melissa Free Is Staff Reporter “We just want to provide an educational experience for partici pants,” said Lonnie Cline, a CCC music instructor, as he discussed the Ninth Annual Clackamas Vo cal Jazz Festival, which will take place on March 20. The Vocal Jazz Festival will include 21 vocal ensembles repre senting high schools from Oregon and Washington. The schools will be divided into two divisions. “Division One” will include A and AA schools, while “Division Two” will include AAA and Quad A schools. In addition, there will be a “Non-mixed Division,” where schools of any size can compete. Although the Vocal Jazz Fes tival is considered to be a competi tion, Cline said that it is an “educa tionally-based jazz festival with emphasis on education versus competition.” The competition will begin Friday, March 20 at 8 a.m. and will end at 6:30 p.m. At 8 p.m. on Friday, the high school finalists from each division will perform. At the end of the finals con cert, “Mainstream” and “Straight Ahead,” CCC’s Vocal Jazz En sembles, will perform. This will familiarize some of the high school participants with CCC’s music department, and, according to Cline, will help recruit incoming students. Continuing to emphasize edu cation, CCC will present an award to an outstanding vocalist in each of the divisions. The award winner will be selected by the competition judges and will receive a two-year talent grant for Clackamas. The award winners will not necessarily be members of ensembles that made the finals. Admission to the festival is $2 for the day only; $5 for the evening only; and $6 for the whole festival and concert. The Vocal Jazz Festi val will be held in CCC’s Randall Hall. photo by Nolan Kidwell by Tracy Hobbs Staff Writer Have you ever thought some thing was too good to be true?

"/ try to encourage students to get as much of the support work out of the way as they can, but to not overload them selves.” -Roberta Donaldson Assistant Dean of Science and Math, Chuck Scott, has only posi tive things to say about the nursing program at CCC. But because of unavailability as a result of Meas ure Five and restrictions set up by the State Nursing Association, for each ten students, they must hire another instructor.
