Jazmin Band marches on
by Lanita Duke
Grassrool News, N. M — The Jaz
min Community Marching Band is
stepping out in 1984 with a $25.000
Fred C. Myers grant.
Band Director Evelyn M . Crews
said the grant represents musical
life-blood for one year. "W e can
keep a portion of our base alive.”
: The infusion of capital will be tar-
getted towards new instruments and
a musical computer clinic.
The Jazmin marches to the south
ern marching band style. Their
stride is quicker and they use a
“ high step’’— lifting their thighs
higher.
This 40-picce marching band has
brought a fresh, new beat to Port
land. Crews said she has even seen
some of their ideas pop up in some
of the more conventional settings
throughout the city
In 1981 the Jaimin Community
Marching Band was just a desire,
when the gap in musical education
became intolerable.
Crews said, "W e got out and
proved everything by doing. W'e
won awards and provided an outlet
for the time and talent of youth in
our community.
"W e will produce a ’someone’
who will make a name for himself.
Why, we plan to produce several
‘somcones.’ ”
Crews also credited the Jazmin
with creating a community-based
music program that is open to all.
The bulk of their support has
come from businesses and private
donations. But the Jazmin has yet to
see support from Portland’s tradi
tional arts and music communities.
She attributes their apathy as being
inflexible.
“ This is a basic kind of a city.
Some people are not going to
change. With them you just have to
press harder.”
At any given moment in the com
munity, a member of the Jazmin
Community Marching Band can be
seen riding his tuba on his bike,
practicing a step while walking
down the street, or running on the
back of a city bus.
Crews said among the positive
changes the Jazmin has brought to
the city is the influence the band has
had on its members.
"They
have
become
more
thoughtful. We have enhanced their
relationship to one another and are
creating decent human beings."
The Fred Meyer's grant is just the
beginning of a series of fund-raising
experiences that the band needs to
go through just to keep stepping.
Crews said the future may hold a
Jazmin Community Marching Band
building. She expects the band
members to sell tickets and engage
in other fundraising events. “ When
we approach you, please support
us.”
But for now. Fred Myers has
helped strike up the hand and they
will be stepping high this spring
The event, which begins with
registration at 9:00a.m . in the third-
floor ballroom of Smith Memorial
t enter, is being held in cooperation
with PSU faculty, staff, several mi
nority student organizations, as well
as the Portland Public School Dis
trict and the State Migrant Educa
tion Center.

"There were people lined up al

January 5th." said Barbar Taylor.
Health Educator for the Mult-
nomah County Health Department,
speaking of its newest service to the
community, an American Red Cross
blood pressure screening clinic.
The new clinic brings a total of
seven locations in the city where Red
Cross free blood pressure screening
and health counseling/referral are
available on a weekly basis. The
program began two years ago when
budget cuts forced Multnomah
sure screening services, and the Red
Cross developed a program to pro-
vide the service free using a group of
volunteer RNs.
The Red Cross volunteers also use
a check-back system for those pa-
tients who seem to drop out of sight,
The danger in having high blood
pressure is that people don’t feel
bad and are inclined not to be con-
cerned About high blood pressure,
The Red Cross volunteers work
closely with Multnomah County
Health to refer patients either to a
private physician or to a County
