The first concert of the school year for the Shoreline Concert Band is Tues., Dec. 1 at at 7:30 p.m. at Shorewood High School Performing Arts Center at 17300 Fremont Ave N, Shoreline, WA 98133.

This special concert features three bands and a guest soloist. The Around the Sound Concert Band directed by Michael Alstad will begin the concert; then a special treat for concert band lovers, the University of Washington Wind Ensemble will play. This outstanding group is directed by Timothy Salzman. Now in his 29th year at the U of W he has become world famous as a conductor and teacher. He travels to Asia many times a year to guest conduct.

Finally the Shoreline Concert Band under the direction of Ken Noreen, in his 22nd year in that position, will end the program. The theme of the evening is “Pacific Rim Notes” and will feature several interesting pieces with this theme in mind. Richard Brown is a nationally known composer and has given the band the challenge of his new work, “Fantasy on a Chinese Theme.”

The guest soloist is Jeff Kashiwa who is currently teaching at Shoreline Community College. Kashiwa is a former student of Ken Noreen from when they were both at Shorecrest High School.

Noreen said, “Out of most 10,000 students, Jeff was one of the top five as a person and musician.

Kashiwa is a jazz saxophonist native to Seattle who became known on the music scene in 1989 as a member of popular contemporary jazz group The Rippingtons.

In 2004, Kashiwa created a new group called,”The Sax Pack” along with fellow saxmen and friends, Steve Cole and Kim Waters. Along with being cohesive musically, the trio share a unique and comical camaraderie on stage.

Kashiwa plays soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, flute and the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument). Kashiwa currently teaches online Music Technology and various ensembles at Shoreline Community College.

All of this entertainment has no admission charge, but you will be offered the opportunity to contribute to the Music Scholarship.

Advising & Counseling Honors World AIDS Day, Tues., Dec. 1

November 30, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Tues., Dec. 1 is World AIDS Day, an opportunity for people to work actively and collaboratively with partners around the world to raise awareness about HIV and help us move closer to the goal of an AIDS-free generation. This year’s theme, “The Time to Act Is Now,” calls us to act with urgency to implement the latest high-impact, evidence-based HIV prevention strategies” (CDC 2015).

Please pick up your  free RED ribbon at the Advising and Counseling Department, Room 5229 to support HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention.  Also please encourage your students to pick up a RED ribbon.

HIV/AIDS The Basics (NIH)

Facts (CDC 2015)
Approximately 2 million new cases of HIV in 2014 world wide.

Approximately 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States, and 1 in 8 don’t know it.

15 million people living with HIV were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) as of March 2015.

An estimated 1.2 million people died from AIDS-related illnesses in 2014.

39 million people worldwide have died of AIDS-related causes since the epidemic began.

HIV/AIDS Prevention
“There’s no vaccine to prevent HIV infection and no cure for AIDS. But it’s possible to protect yourself and others from infection. That means educating yourself about HIV and avoiding any behavior that allows HIV-infected fluids — blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk — into your body” (Mayo Clinic 2015, Lifelong AIDS Alliance 2015, CDC 2015).

Success Coaching Statement for Syllabi

November 30, 2015 by Leave a Comment

As we are wrapping up fall quarter we as Success Coaches would like to thank you for the collaboration experienced in supporting students and their success. We look forward to continuing to partner with you!

Faculty have requested a statement about Success Coaching to be provided on their syllabi and we thank you for this opportunity! Please feel free to use the following statement:

Similar to coaching programs used by entrepreneurs, CEOs, and professional athletes, Shoreline Community College provides students with Success Coaching to help you develop your academic skills. Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that works with you on study skills, goal setting, time management, balancing life’s priorities, and organization. Coaches also help you identify and connect to other resources. Coaching is not counseling, advising, or tutoring.

For more information or to schedule an appointment:  www.shoreline.edu/advising/success-coaches.aspx

Thank you,
Erin Wilson and Nicki Sunwall
