Marching Bands, Theatre, Jazz and More Coming to Tulsa
The award winning Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band will come to Tulsa for the opening night home game of the Tulsa Talons on April 22 at the Tulsa Convention Center. Henry Primeaux and Paul Ross, owners of the Talons, along with vice president and General Manager Bill Paddock, are thrilled to have this outstanding marching band in Tulsa for the home opener. Paddock says, “We are very excited about Grambling’s marching band performing at the football game and we are happy to partner with the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in their outreach to provide music education for the youth of our community. This is a tremendous chance for the youth from all over the city, to not only come for the music workshop, but also come along with their families to enjoy the football game, and the well-disciplined Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band. So mark your calendars for the entire family to attend the opening home game for the Tulsa Talons with Grambling State University Tiger Band performing at half time. Also make sure to get your children down to the Tulsa Convention Center to participate in the Grambling State University Band’s Music Workshop.
Mardi Gras a Bittersweet Experience in New Orleans
Jane and I were very excited about returning to our hometown of New Orleans for this year’s Mardi Gras. Though we had a good time, we realized that Katrina has left the city devastated, beyond even what the media have tried to show and explain through their various outlets.
The Inside Scoop
Music is always on the menu here in Green Country, and in the coming weeks the Inside Scoop will be snooping around to see who’s performing, what bands are “rockin’ the house” and what’s on the agenda in the art world. Even now there are some dynamic musical happenings for Tulsans to enjoy, taking place in Brookside, Cherry Street, downtown and out South.
Letters
Salvation Appreciation
Without the media coverage that your newspaper has provided, The Salvation Army would not be able to get its message to the community. Your help and support was instrumental in the success of every project and campaign during the 2005 Christmas season. I want to express my appreciation for your responsiveness and assistance in all that we do.
The greater need that Tulsa area residents have experienced during this 2005 Christmas season has manifested itself in many ways. It is due to the journalistic efforts of your publication that community awareness was raised to enable the more fortunate to help the less fortunate. I am truly thankful for the tremendous effort your personnel have made in assisting the Salvation Army this past Christmas.
The Big Easy is Rising; We’re Headed to the Mardi Gras!
I am happy to report that our Web site, www.bigeasyrising.org, is up and running to help support our nonprofit 501©(3) Oklahoma foundation, Big Easy Rising, Inc. Please check out this site to learn more about our nonprofit organization and the need to help small businesses impacted by Hurricane Katrina and the resulting flooding.
Tulsa’s Art & Music Scene Growing
Now that the holiday parties, shopping, carol singing and gift giving is behind us, we look to the coming warmer months with promise of entertainment, fun and cultural enrichment for all of us to enjoy. From the Brookside and Brady districts, to Cherry Street and downtown Tulsa, the Inside Scoop will offer you a real cool mixture of music and special places to visit and relish.
Let’s take a look at the scene on Cherry Street or 15th Street, as it is commonly known. One of Tulsa’s most popular restaurants, Camarelli’s, features savory Italian cuisine and sumptuous music to boot. On every other Thursday, Camarelli’s features two outstanding musical acts—Ruby’s Begonia (blue grass and a little bit of everything else thrown in) and the wildly popular and Tulsa Spot Award Winner, Susan Herndon, strumming her guitar and singing popular hits of the day. For those of you who want to enjoy a nice Sunday dinner (try the Seafood Ala Vodka or the Chicken Tequila), stop by Camarelli’s and enjoy the versatile guitar and mandolin stylings of Mark Bruner and Shelby Eicher. You can never go wrong with this wonderful restaurant and the music is always a lovely complement to your dining experience.
If you are looking for another type of musical experience, take a ride over to Boston’s on 18th and not only enjoy American cuisine (burgers, fries), but check out the full calendar of music each week: Mondays, Midwest Kings; Tuesdays, Open Mic; Wednesdays, Tom Skinner Project; Thursdays, Phil; Fridays, Larry Arnet; and on Saturday kick back and enjoy Rewake. Music begins around 9 p.m. each night – for more info, call 583-9520.
Small Businesses Forgotten After New Orleans Flood; Tulsa Fans Ready to Follow Hurricane to Liberty Bowl
Big Easy Rising
Over the past months I’ve tried to communicate to you many of the attributes that will make your business or personal career flourish. When the unexpected happens you must put all of your resources into play. Hurricane Katrina has done this for me. Watching the horror play out day after day I was struck with the reality that one day soon the “news” would be old and the people affected would be left to help themselves. Sure enough… Katrina is now back page news to most. Much money has been collected but bureaucracy is involved.
Downtown Tulsa will be Musical During the Holidays
It’s that time of the year where we all get wrapped up in the holiday spirit—parties, last minute Christmas shopping, holiday cookies, cakes, gift-wrapping and our favorite beverages to celebrate the biggest holiday of the year—Christmas. One can also enjoy the beautifully lit homes all around Tulsa, Utica Square’s tree-lined holiday display of Christmas lights, downtown Tulsa’s decorated streets, and of course the Rhema Christmas light tour in Broken Arrow—one of the most amazing displays of Christmas ornaments and lights in all of Oklahoma.
Holiday Season Brings Cheer, Family and Fun
This is always a great time of the year, not just because November is my birthday month, but also because the air is so crisp, the leaves are beautiful, and football is in the air!
Remembering ‘My Buddy’ Ray Siegfried at Fight Night
My heart goes out to the Ray Siegfried II family and his friends. We have lost a great citizen, businessperson and sportsman in the passing of this fine gentleman.
Katrina Impacts Oklahomans; Honoring Gary Trennepohl
My heart goes out to all of the people along the Gulf Coast who have suffered from Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. My wife Jane and I were raised in New Orleans, and we still have many friends and relatives who were there when the Hurricane hit. Jane hasn’t heard from anybody in her New Orleans-area family since the storm, and it has been a hard time for everybody with ties to the Gulf Coast.
