Spring 2008 Episode 1 ~ Campus Events (Mar 03, 2008)
Assignment: Radio's new student reporters for the Spring 2008 semester present their first stories about events going on around the OU campus. Grace Fredrickson visits the OU Percussion Orchestra as they prepare for their upcoming concert. Through its commissioning series, the OU Percussion Orchestra and Ensemble has stimulated composition for the percussion ensemble, resulting in the addition of numerous works that have quickly become mainstays in the repertoire. Cara Bailey heads over to the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History for the Masterworks of Native American Art exhibit. More than 150 works spanning 100 years are currently on display; pieces ranging from traditional paintings to textiles, sculpture, and pottery. Ashley Southern talks with members of Contemporary Dance Oklahoma as they rehearse for an upcoming show. Ashley also explores whether or not dance is a lost art form, and speaks with members, and the show's choreographer about the passion and dedication involved with dance. And Lisa Janssen investigates what there is to do in Norman as Spring Break approaches for both OU and Norman Public Schools. The Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau has a program that hopes to entertain its participants as well as save money.
