PAS President’s Welcome
W
elcome to PASIC®
2000! We know that
you will find your experience
to be rewarding, exciting,
and educational. On behalf
of the Executive Committee,
Board of Directors, and
members of PAS, I would
like to thank Michael Varner
and his committee for their
time, effort, and commitment
to presenting this event. Until
you have been “in their shoes,”
one does not realize the level of
involvement that takes place in
the production of PASIC. A
special thanks must go to
Mike’s wife, Marilyn, and their
children, as the host’s job
requires not only great skill and
time management, but also
great understanding and
support from families and loved
ones.
We celebrate two events in
particular at this PASIC that I
find very significant. First, we
are presenting our Wednesday
evening concert featuring
Amadinda Percussion Group
with Robert van Sice in the
Morton H. Myerson Symphony
Center, which marks a major
commitment on the part of PAS
to present a concert of this type
in a major, first-class concert
venue. Second, we welcome
the return of our friend,
colleague, and PAS Hall of
Fame member Gary Burton to
the PASIC stage Friday
evening. As you may know, a
medical emergency required
Gary to cancel his PASIC ’99
appearance. We are honored
that he is with us this year.
Finally, be sure to thank PAS
Executive Director Randy Eyles
and his staff for the spectacular
work they do to administer and
produce PASIC. It is more than
a full-time job, and Randy has
assembled a world-class staff
to assist in every facet of the
event.
Thanks, and enjoy PASIC
2000!
work and enthusiasm to make
this the best PASIC ever. I appreciated knowing that I could
call on them for any help that
was necessary. I especially
want to thank Randy Eyles, PAS
Executive Director, for his advice, expertise, invaluable insight, and overall support. I
also want to express my sincere
appreciation to all of the PAS
staff, who have worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail of the next few days has
been handled.
Apart from the PAS Staff, the
convention runs on volunteer labor. I want to thank Karen Hunt,
who organizes the logistics
team each year, and all of her
volunteers. Such a huge undertaking as this would not be possible without her organizational
skills and energy. Behind the
scenes, the percussion industry
deserves special recognition.
This is a huge financial undertaking, and without their willingness to go the extra mile, we
could not make this convention
happen. I also appreciate the
local Dallas music stores for
their willingness to answer calls
for everything from instruments
to transportation of music
stands. Bravo one and all!
Finally, I would like to thank
my family—Marilyn, Devon, and
Allison—for their endless patience in picking up the extra
load while I was telephoning, e-mailing, sound checking, and working out PASIC
details.
Welcome to Dallas! While
you are here, I encourage
you to take a little extra time
and savor all the experiences our city has to offer.
We have included a restaurant guide in this program.
Texas has a tradition of hospitality and we want you to
enjoy all of the food and ambiance of the “Lone Star
State” while you are here.
I sincerely hope you have
a wonderful and memorable
time!
PASIC Host’s Welcome

W
elcome to the Lone
Star State and PASIC
2000! The planning of this
PAS International Convention
has taken several years and
reflects the combined vision
and efforts of many people.
Percussion is unique in the
field of music in that it embraces a world diversity that
transcends borders and cultural boundaries. PASIC is a
gathering of percussion enthusiasts from around the
world, ranging from exuberant, novice beginners to the
most legendary professionals.
The experiences you will
have over the next few days
will be savored for a lifetime.
PASIC offers the opportunity
to exchange ideas, meet
new friends, renew old
1 5 – 1 8
friendships, listen to great performances, and be inspired by
the finest talents the world has
to offer. As you study the program, you will see that it is broken down into areas such as
Drumset, Marching Percussion,
World Percussion, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion/
Timpani, Electronic Percussion,
educational sessions, and concert events. In addition to attending sessions of your
particular area of interest, I encourage you to sample each of
the other areas in order to truly
gain an appreciation for the enthusiasm and endless possibilities in the field of percussion.
I would like to thank the
PASIC Host Committee and the
PAS Executive Committee, as
well as the officers of the PAS
Texas Chapter, for all the hard

“For me, when all is said
and done, sound is the
determining factor for
marimbas. Although I’ve
been impressed with the
many improvements in
design and construction
of marimbas over the past
few years, it is the sound
of the Marimba One rich, dark, open and
sonorous - that sets it apart
from other instruments.
Marimba One’s high level
of professionalism and
pursuit of excellence sets a
benchmark that more
percussion manufacturers
should aspire to.”

The DART Light Rail System runs trains through
downtown every 5–10 minutes during peak times
(morning and evening rush hour) and every 1020 minutes during off peak times. Both the red
and blue lines run through downtown, so you can
hop on any train. (If you are planning to ride all
the way up to Park Lane to go shopping at
NorthPark Center, make sure to take the red line).
The train stops at every station so you do not
need to signal the driver. Once you purchase
your ticket, keep it handy on the train as you may
be asked to show it to a fare inspector during
their random checks. The closest rail station to
the Hyatt Regency is at Union Station and the

PERCUSSIVE ARTS SOCIETY HISTORY
D
uring the late 1950s, it became the custom for a
small group of percussionists and interested music
directors to gather informally and discuss percussion
problems during the Mid-West Band Clinic held each
December at Chicago’s Sherman House. During the
1960 Clinic, Remo Belli, a member of the group and an
exhibitor at the convention, invited the others to dinner at
the hotel’s restaurant, and during discussion, they
developed the idea of forming a percussion organization.
in its familiar booklet form. Mr. Canedy served as de
facto president through 1964, when, at the December
Percussive Arts Society meeting in Chicago, a constitution was adopted and regular officers were elected.
Gordon Peters became the first President of PAS; Jack
McKenzie took the position of First Vice-President and
Mr. Canedy continued as Executive Secretary. Also
elected were a Board of Directors and an Editorial
Board. With this solid structure, the Society became
increasingly influential, expanding its committee activities to address important percussion issues and making
policy decisions that would result in important contributions to all areas of percussion.
A
Pictured above are several of the fourteen founding members of the Society. (left
to right, near side of table) Remo Belli, Jack McKenzie, Don Canedy, Mervin
Britton, (left to right, far side of table) Hugh Soebbing, Vern Reamer and Sid Lutz,
and Kenneth Leisen.
W
hen Mr. Belli returned home to California, he
enlisted the services of Robert Winslow, a professional percussionist and a North Hollywood high school
band director, to carry out the details of forming an
organization. In early 1961, Mr. Winslow sent a series of
letters concerning membership to interested parties.
Among the stated goals of the organization were: “to
stimulate a greater interest in percussion performance
and teaching,” and “to promote better teaching of
percussion instruments.”
In May of 1961, Mr. Winslow sent a letter proclaiming:
“We are underway. The Percussive Arts Society is open
for business,” and in September, the Society sent its first
publication, Percussive Arts Society Bulletin, printed on a
mimeograph machine donated by Mr. Belli, to the
membership.
n important expansion
occurred in 1967 when
James L. Moore’s already
successful Percussive
Notes became an official
PAS publication. Another
milestone was achieved in
1969 when the Society was
incorporated in Indiana as
the Percussive Arts Society,
Incorporated, a status it
maintained until 1985 when
it was reincorporated under
the laws of Illinois.
Beginning in 1971,
performances and clinics
1965 PAS Logo
called “Days of Percussion” were held in conjunction
with the yearly business meetings. In 1974, the first
Percussive Arts Society National Conference (PASNC)
was held in Anaheim and at California State University at
Northridge. It was hosted by then-California State
Chapter President Lloyd McCausland and Joel Leach of
CSU/Northridge. The PASNC evolved into the Percussive
Arts Society International Convention that we know today
as PASIC. The first PASIC was held in 1976 at the
Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, and was
hosted by John Beck, the Eastman School and the New
York State Chapter.
A
fter three Bulletins, a
determination was made
to transfer the administrative
and publication duties of the
Society to Professor Donald
Canedy, who was the percussion instructor and band
director at Southern Illinois
University. In April of 1963, Mr.
Canedy, with the advice of a
distinguished editorial board
and an able group of contributing editors, published the
new PAS journal, Percussionist
(in later years called Percussive Notes Research Edition)

The first Hall of Fame awards were presented December 16, 1972. Three of the
five recipients are pictured here. Roy Knapp, Haskell Harr, William F. Ludwig, Sr.
PERCUSSIVE ARTS SOCIETY HISTORY
I
t is important to note several significant awards
presented annually by the Society. First, since 1972,
PAS has inducted some of the most important people in
percussion into its Hall of Fame. Secondly, since 1974,
the PAS Composition Contest has encouraged the
production of hundreds of new works, many of which
have become part of the standard percussion repertoire.
During the 1990s four additional annual awards were
implemented to recognize PAS volunteers and their
importance to the society: PAS Outstanding Chapter
President Award; Outstanding PAS Supporter Award;
PAS President’s Industry Award; and Outstanding PAS
Service Award.
Thus, the Percussive Arts Society, which began in
1961 as a group of fourteen concerned percussionists,
Year
City
has grown to more than 6,000 members worldwide, with
significant influence on percussion performance, education, composition, publication and manufacturing. Today,
the Percussive Arts Society is headquartered in Lawton,
Oklahoma, where the administrative offices and its
museum of rare and unusual percussion instruments are
located in the Society’s new building in Elmer Thomas
Park. Construction of the building was funded by PAS
members and by the McMahon Foundation in Lawton.
The grand opening was in August 1992. Phase II of the
building project involved the expansion of the museum
and was completed in 1995. Phase III of the building
project will conclude late this year, finishing nearly
11,000 square feet of beautiful museum, library and
office space.
