...For the second concert report I attended a rendition of the 1812 Overture, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, performed by the Utah Symphony in Deer Valley on July 18th. There were several other pieces played during the concert, including Capriccio Italien (Op. 45), also by Tchaikovsy; Rhapsody in Blue and Porgy and Bess, written by George Gershwin; and selections from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein. It was an outdoor concert and took place at the Deer Valley ski resort.

The United States occupied the Islands in 1898 until 1946, and introduced American blues folk music, Rock &Blues, and rock and roll became popular.

Up until the 1970s, popular rock musicians began writing and producing in English. In the early 1970s, rock music began to be written using local languages, with bands like the Juan Dela Cruz Band being among the first popular bands to do so. Mixing tagalog, and English lyrics.

...Social Media & Music PR A public relations approach to the music industry: raising brand awareness through two-way communication and transparency Social Media & Music PR A public relations approach to the music industry: raising brand awareness through two-way communication and transparency Elyse C. Tan Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA Abstract This textual analysis of social media and its role in music public relations investigates North America’s largest outdoor music festival, Bonnaroo, and explores online coverage of the festival’s public relations tactics. I uncover some of the elements employed in its Internet-based social media and online journalism that facilitate interaction between the publics and Bonnaroo to help increase brand awareness and cope with crisis. A key question I aim to address is whether social media, Twitter and Facebook in particular, can give greater utility to influence the processes that create, reflect and transmit awareness via the Internet.

...Serial killers tend to be white heterosexual males in their twenties and thirties. While it is impossible to predict who will become a serial killer there are traits that appear to be similar in all killers. These behaviors include cruelty to animals, bedwetting, lying, drug and alcohol abuse, and a history of violence. According to Robert Ressler et al., "serial homicide involves the murder of separate of separate victims with time breaks between victims, as minimal as two days to weeks or months. These time breaks are referred to as a cooling off period." Because homicides involving multiple victims is gradually becoming more commonplace, and to facilitate an understanding of the aforementioned definition, it is helpful to differentiate serial murder from other types of murder, such as mass murder, which involves,"four or more victims killed within a short time span," and spree killings, which Ressler et al. defines as "a series of sequential homicides connected to one event committed over a time period of hours to days and without a cooling off period." Ted Bundy is one of the worst serial killers in history. His antisocial personality and psychotic character made him feared across the country. After all was said and done Ted left behind a trail of bloody slayings that included the deaths of 36 young women and spanned through four states. The biggest question in many people's mind was how could someone as intelligent,highly accomplished, and praised as Bundy...
