Welcome toAustin,

Texas! I canhardly believeit’s time forPASIC 2006already—it reallydoes seem asthough it wasjust yesterdaythat we were inColumbus, Ohiofor PASIC 2005, our 30th PASIC. This31st PASIC is sure to be just asmemorable in the city that bills itself asLive Music, Live Action, Livin’ it Up! Inaddition to all the awesome live musicwe will present at PASIC in the AustinConvention Center, I know you’ll enjoythe many fine restaurants and musicclubs that Austin has to offer.

PASIC is our society’s annual 4-daycelebration, where you’ll witness clinics,master classes, presentations andconcerts by many of the world’s finestpercussionists, demonstrating andperforming in a wide variety of musicstyles. Each PASIC includes a largenumber of exciting and motivatingmoments, and I know this will again betrue this year.

In order for any PASIC to work aswonderfully as it does, PAS is indebtedto the work of many people, some ofwhom are “behind the scenes” whileothers are clearly visible. Several timesover the next few days I know you’ll seemany of our hard-working logisticspersonnel pushing, carting and carryinginstruments throughout the AustinConvention Center. It takes a small armyof volunteers to get all the necessaryinstruments where they need to be andon time, and these folks are dedicated tothe successful operation of PASIC. If youhave a moment, I encourage you tothank them as you pass them in the hall.

PAS relies on local professionalpercussionists to help organize theconvention over a one-year period priorto the date of the convention. We havemany good friends in Austin and aroundTexas and the United States who havehelped to make this year’s PASIC asuccess by virtue of their hard work anddedication. I extend my sincere thanksto all who made time in their busyprofessional schedules to volunteer onbehalf of PAS and PASIC 2006.

One of the most exciting parts of anyPASIC is visiting the exhibits. ThePercussive Arts Society is proud of ourpartners in the percussion industry, thePAS Sustaining Members, and thesecompanies and corporations are here thisweek for you to check out all the great

pas president’s welcomeproducts, publications and services theyhave to offer. In addition to all the reallycool stuff you’ll see on the floor of theexhibits, keep in mind these industrypartners help support the mission of thePercussive Arts Society by supporting thehundreds of clinicians and performersyou’ll witness during PASIC. I hope youwill make the time to visit each and everybooth to discover all the wonderfulpercussion-related instruments and itemsour Sustaining Members have to offer.They are here for you, and I encourageyou to take advantage of that opportunity.

There is one person in particular whowe all need to thank for making PASICso special, and that is Jeff Hartsough, thePAS Director of Event Production andMarketing. Jeff is a great person,drummer and organizer with a passionfor bringing all of us the finest conventionexperience possible. Through yourattendance at PASIC 2006 here in Austinyou will witness the wonderful results ofJeff’s dedication to PAS and PASIC.Thank you, Jeff!

PASIC 2006 is the second and finalPASIC held during my term as Presidentof the Percussive Arts Society. During myPresidency, it has been my distinctprivilege to work alongside the othermembers of the PAS ExecutiveCommittee and our Board of Directors.Additionally, I am indebted to and gratefulfor the great work of the PAS office staff,all of whom do terrific work for all PASmembers. My job has been made so easyby the vibrancy and dedication of theseindividuals, and my hat’s off to them forhelping to make my two years asPresident so special.

Please remember that all of us inleadership positions within PAS do whatwe do for you, the members of thePercussive Arts Society. Being a memberof PAS means many things, and for methe most important of those is the abilityto make and nurture friendships andprofessional relationships that will last alifetime. As we celebrate and becomemore motivated through the many eventsof PASIC 2006, let’s remain committed toeach other, to our passion for percussion,and to the Society that brings ustogether.

108 percussive arts society history

During the late 1950s, it became obvious to many professional per-cussionists and music educators that a national percussion organi-

zation dedicated to education was needed. This need was discussedby leading percussion performers and music educators whenever theyhad the opportunity to gather at regional or national music conven-tions, such as MENC or the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic heldeach December at Chicago’s Sherman House. During the spring of1960, Robert Winslow, a professional percussionist and North Holly-wood band director who served as an educational advisor to RemoBelli, wrote to leading percussion educators requesting their assis-tance in establishing such an organization. Among the stated goals ofthe organization contained in these letters were: “to bring up to datethe present standards in our solo and ensemble contests,” “to stimu-late a greater interest in percussion performance and teaching,” and“to promote better teaching of percussion instruments.”

While at the 1960 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, Remo Belli,an exhibitor at the convention, invited a group of interested percus-sionists to dinner at the hotel’s restaurant to discuss the formation ofthe organization, and at which time he was given a mandate to namethe organization. In January of 1961 during the SW-MENC in Albuquer-que, New Mexico, a meeting was held at the Sundowner Hotel whereJim Sewrey suggested the name “Percussive Arts Society” to RemoBelli. Others present at this meeting, in addition to Mr. Belli and Mr.Sewrey, were Fred Hoey, Frank Arsenault, and George Frock.

Pictured above are several of the fourteen founding members of theSociety. (left to right, near side of table) Remo Belli, Jack McKenzie,Don Canedy, Mervin Britton, (left to right, far side of table) HughSoebbing, Vern Reamer and Sid Lutz, and Kenneth Leisen.

Following this meeting, Mr. Winslow sent a letter proclaiming: “Weare underway. The Percussive Arts Society is open for business,” andin September 1961, the Society sent its first publication, PercussiveArts Society Bulletin, printed on a mimeograph machine donated byMr. Belli, to the membership. The fourteen originating members listedin the first Percussive Arts Society Bulle-tin were: Remo Belli, Warren Benson,Mervin Britton, Robert Buggert, DonCanedy, Rey Longyear, Charles Lutz,Jack McKenzie, James L. Moore, VerneReimer, Jim Salmon, Hugh W.Soebbing, Charles Spohn, and RobertWinslow.

After three Bulletins, a determina-tion was made to transfer the ad-

ministrative and publication duties of theSociety to Professor Donald Canedy,who was the percussion instructor andband director at Southern Illinois Univer-

sity. In April of 1963, Mr. Canedy, withthe advice of a distinguished editorialboard and an able group of contribut-ing editors, published the new PASjournal, Percussionist (in later yearscalled Percussive Notes Research Edi-tion) in its familiar booklet form. Mr.Canedy served as de facto presidentthrough 1964, when, at the DecemberPercussive Arts Society meeting inChicago, a constitution was adoptedand regular officers were elected. Gor-don Peters became the first Presidentof PAS; Jack McKenzie took the posi-tion of First Vice-President and Mr.Canedy continued as Executive Secre-tary. 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 percussionissues and making policy decisions that would result in important con-tributions to all areas of percussion.

An important expansion occurred in 1967 when James L. Moore’salready successful Percussive Notes became an official PAS pub-

lication. Another milestone was achieved in 1969 when the Societywas incorporated in Indiana as the Percussive Arts Society, Incorpo-rated, a status it maintained until 1985 when it was reincorporated un-der the laws of Illinois.

Beginning in 1971, performances and clinics called “Days of Per-cussion” 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 atNorthridge. It was hosted by Lloyd McCausland and Joel Leach (CSU/Northridge) and the PAS California Chapter, David Levine, chapterpresident. The PASNC evolved into the Percussive Arts Society Inter-national Convention that we know today as PASIC. The first PASICwas held in 1976 at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY,and was hosted by John Beck, the Eastman School and the New YorkState Chapter (see next page).

It is important to note two significant awards presented annually bythe Society. First, since 1972, PAS has inducted some of the most

important people in percussion into its Hall of Fame. Secondly, since
