The Sussex Mummers' Christmas Carol Percy Grainger (1882-1961) Grainger's settings of The Sussex Mummers' Christmas Carol have existed in many forms. Originally composed for solo piano in 1911, Grainger later published a version for solo cello (or violin) and piano in 1916. At the time of his death in 1961 there was only an incomplete sketch of the tune orchestrated for Wind Band. In 1965 Edwin Franko Goldman published a "completion and scoring" of the work that is based upon Grainger's sketch, but varies considerably from the original composers length and harmonizations.

Being a counselor would be a meaningful experience for me. I attended Show Choir Camps of America in 2013 and 2014 and it was the experience of a lifetime. The skills, inspiration, and friendships I made while at Show Choir Camps of America will be a part of me for the rest of my life. I would feel privileged to be a part of giving that same experience to others as they become a part of the Show Choir Camp of America family. I would be a positive role model to the attendees and would lead by example, by being respectful to others, hardworking, and having the ability to give positive encouragement to the campers.

The snare drum helped transition the piece as it came in between many measures. The ensemble used very nice amount of bows and the combination of

As a musician I want to learn as much as I can in order to excel in music as a trade after college. I have recently been accepted to the Interharmony Music Festival in Acqui Terme Italy to sing and collaborate with other young musicians. I would like to be considered for the Fort Dodge Choral Society Scholarship because it would allow me to grow as a musician by helping me to afford the program tuition in Italy for summer music study. I believe this music festival will greatly enrich my musicianship and further prepare me for graduate studies auditions in the coming year.
Critical thinking is a self-guided and self-directed mental process, which enables us to develop an in-depth analysis. The purpose of this paper is to use the concept of critical thinking, and explain how the Counterintelligence (CI) field could benefit from using a different approach to newly graduated agents from the Counterintelligence Special Agent Course (CISAC) when it comes to the probationary period, training, and assignments. I am using information based on research and personal experience as a CI Special Agent. I will also discuss contributing factors to this issue as well as actions required to encourage a positive change that will help the CI field and new agents. Ultimately, the current probationary period program for new CI agents needs to change in order for proper and effective development.

At Camp Gray, I experienced many forms of science. Whether it was from the nature around me, or the weather that kept us indoors, science was everywhere at Camp Gray. But specifically, I’m going to focus on gravity. Gravity is invisible force that occurs between two objects, it’s what keeps us on the ground. The reason why we stay on the ground is because the gravitational pull towards Earth’s center. At Camp Gray, we all were affected by gravity in the activities we did and many more
