B6 september 13, 2013 ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT The Western Carolinian Belcher and Friends shows off this years season Ceillie Simkiss Stafff Writer Chancellor David O. Belcher, his wife Susan Belcher and many other noteworthy Western Carolina University performers put together a collection of stunning performances on Tuesday, Sept. 3, to benefit the WCU Friends of the Arts. Other performers included Tony nominee Terrence Mann, Terry Welch, Delant Randolph, William Martin, the WCU Faculty/Student Orchestra and a group of students from the WCU Musical Theatre program. The Friends of the Arts event was free to the public, but if you donated at least $50 to become a Supporter level Friend of the Arts, you were guar- anteed two seats. Between donations and students calling in for tickets, this concert was sold out. The donation levels for Friends of the Arts range in price from $50 (Support- er) to more than $3,500 (Benefactor). Supporter level Friends get not only two tickets to the Belcher and Friends concert; they also received a copy of the 2013-14 Fine Arts Calendar and recognition on the supporter list. In the future, they will also receive e-invites to ob- serve students in masters classes, chances to attend dress rehearsals of WCU performances and get timely reminder notices Swank Wee aaa Laura Odom Staff Writer Great music coupled with charismatic men doing gravity-defying flips caught the attention of upwards of 300 people in the University Center Plaza on Tuesday, Au- gust 27. The event began with the men doing a series of flips, spins and kicks that captivated the audi- ence. At the beginning of their performance, they said they have performed in places like Guantanamo Bay, Japan, Cuba, Italy and all over the world. According to their website, Sideswipe is about all WCU art events. The first two songs on the program, Opener from Stop! Look! Listen! and Where the Music Comes From, were per- formed by Susan and Da- vid Belcher. Martin, who sang with Susan Belcher during their respective graduate programs at Northwestern, then joined them to sing Make Be- lieve from Showboat. The next piece was a hilarious performance by Welch, complete with won- derful facial expressions and body language. The Altos Lament is one known to almost anyone with knowledge of show business, as many of the parts written for the altos in the choir, and their show pieces are boring in comparison to that of the sopranos and the tenors. Next, Welch joined Susan Belcher, who had | changed dresses into one that Welch lovingly teased her for looking like a disco ball. Together, they sang Bosom Bud- dies from the musical Mame, which was also absolutely hilarious. The entire crowd was roaring with laughter at the barbs that the two threw at each other, saying, Only a bo- som buddy could tell you the truth. Susan Belcher and Welch were then replaced by members of the WCU Musical Theatre program in an impressive perfor- mance of the title song from 42nd Street. The illustrious Mann propelled by the en- ergy and talent of the most skilled martial art performers in the world, Sideswipe combines mu- sic and choreography to bring a whole new feel to sports entertainment. And, this held true throughout the per- formance. Any form of activity in the moun- tains can be difficult when you are not used to the elevation, but these men were able to perform their best. The group explained that they all studied under the same teacher, Matt Mullins, when they were younger. The majority of their act had been work- ing together since they The entire cast of Belcher and Friends. then took the stage with Takin it to the Streets. Saxophonist Delant Randolph and backup vo- calists Will Bryant, Alex Hairston, Jeffrey Mack and Anastasia Teel joined | him for this performance, and the backup vocalists joined him again for his performance of John Len- non and Paul McCartneys In My Life. The students of the Musical Theatre program then took the stage again to perform a medley from their upcoming show, Next to Normal. This were adolescents. They are currently based out of Los Angeles, Calif. Because of the brother- hood that was so bla- tantly obvious between the members, there was an easy give and take between the men. Toward the beginning of the performance, the group explained the basics of what they were doing to accomplish their routines. Due to this explanation, the following routines were easier to follow, and the audience had the ability to connect the move- ments with what they had learned. This idea of high en- ergy levels and compan- show featured Tierney Leigh Cody as Diana, Joshua Farrar as Gabe, Paul Thiemann as Dan, Claire Van der Linden as Natalie, James Hendley as Henry and Brian J. Gay as Doctor Madden. It was followed by another medley from another upcoming show, Les Misrables. It was a medley of At the End of the Day and Master of the House, and featured Hendley, Van der Linden, - Mann and Welch as solo- ists. ; The featured perfor- ionship is perpetuated by their website which states, .. with martial arts woven into the fiber of just about every form of entertainment, diver- sity is the key to creat- ing the strongest and most memorable perfor- mance. As the performers worked to show their many talents, they took the time to create a con- stant interaction with the crowd; they were consistently discussing the moves and routines with the audience, creat- ing a sense of camarade- rie and conversation. They took this com- panionship a step far- ther by introducing audi- mance of the concert was David Belchers and the | orchestras performance of George Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue, which lasted 10 minutes and received a standing ovation by the entire audi- ence. The rousing finale of the night was a performance of One Day More from Les Miserables that in- cluded all of the perform- ers from the concert, in- cluding the WCU Faculty/ Student Wind Orchestra. Based on the performanc- es that I saw, I expect an ence members into the routines. The first was a comedic routine that incorporated student Austin McKinnon, In the routine, the members of Sideswipe trained McKinnon in breaking a board with his head. This was the second instance where they paid homage to the Karate Kid and used a female audience member as the love interest. Through- out the hour of routines, the group constantly looked for the audiences participation in cheering and clapping along to the music. The energy was high and fun-filled. McKinnon stated that he thought the show was All Photos by Ceillie Simkiss/STAFF absolutely fantastic season from the School of Stage and Screen, and I cannot wait to see the shows that were previewed at this concert. Next to Normal will be performed in Hoey Auditorium from Septem- ber 25-28 at 7:30 p.m. Other shows that are coming this season are Zombies on Campus! A Slaughter- Pocalypse! in November, A Dolls House in Febru- ary, Les Misrables in April and the Controlled Chaos Film Festival in May. eswipe really funny and cool, while Megan Carlson thought the show was amazing and really interesting! Micah Karns, a mem- ber of Sideswipe said, Being here at Western was pretty cool. Every- one was sweet, and your campus is awesome! Another of the mem- bers, Kyle Potter, com- mented that .. the cam- pus is really awesome. It has the whole sunset behind the mountains beauty to it. This event was hosted by Last Minute Produc- tions. Check out the WCU Events Calendar online for more exciting opportunities like this.
