Ricardo Jaramillo is a rising freshman. He is planning on majoring in Jewish Studies, because, as they say, “when in Rome.” The other day he had a really good peanut butter and banana sandwich, and hopes to pursue more such joyful combinations when he arrives at Columbia in 2020 after his gap year working for a bitcoin-funded Greek real estate startup.

Cameron Davis is a grad student at Columbia studying computational linguistics, or what he slyly calls, “the future.” He is the head Teaching Assistant for LING 8504, “Mathematical Approaches to the Language of the Moon,” and exclusively holds his office hours on a bench next to a Citi Bike station on Pier 40, because he finds the smell of fish intoxicating.

Amara presence on campus was sorely missed when she was studying abroad in Seville, Spain for the Spring 2018 semester.

Youngweon Lee (CC '20) was featured on Bwog before she even got to Columbia through a series of posts exposing the CC/SEAS ’20 GroupMe in spring 2016. Somehow, this inspired her to join the organization. Youngweon served on the Editorial Board as the site’s Social Media Editor in spring 2018, then became Editor in Chief in May after an E-Board rearrangement as Betsy Ladyzhets stepped aside to resume Managing Editor duties.

Hailing from Seoul, South Korea, Youngweon is passionate about soup, wine, Sappho, and pointing out people’s grammar mistakes. Her most notable accomplishments as EIC include [http://bwog.com/2018/11/18/classical-whines-emily-wilson-on-translation-the-core-and-more/ interviewing Emily Wilson] on her Odyssey translation, breaking a story on [http://bwog.com/2018/12/02/former-lambda-phi-epsilon-pledge-details-culture-of-hazing/ hazing practices at Lambda Phi Epsilon], and overseeing the implementation of a new website design, for which she is prepared to fly to Canada and personally fight the tech guy to ensure completion.

Elizabeth “Betsy” Ladyzhets, BC ’19 and McElroy brother enthusiast, was heavily involved in [[Bwog]], the [[Columbia University Marching Band]] (CUMB), and the [[Columbia University Wind Ensemble]]. Everything in this entry actually happened. She double majored in Biology and English because she loves trees both as tall bois and paper. She recommends that you take a class with Margaret Vandenberg and read your Allen Ginsberg.

She is always hydrated.

Betsy joined Bwog in the fall of 2015 as its Thursday daily editor. She served two semesters as Managing Editor and spent one semester as Editor-In-Chief before resuming her role as Managing Editor for fall 2018. Most notable achievements as Editor-in-Chief include the appointment of a science editor and <s>Fantasy</s> Costco snacks.

Betsy brought her skill with the clarinet to the CUMB in the spring of 2016, although she was not a fully-initiated bandie until fall 2016. She served as travel manager from spring 2017 to fall 2017. During her tenure, she fixed a bus with nothing but a menstrual pad and successfully got the band to <s>Brown</s> Cornell despite two broken buses.

Betsy is also currently serving her third term as vice president of the Columbia University Wind Ensemble (CUWE). Nothing of note happened because CUWE is as pure as Maggie the Magnolia I, may she rest in peace.

The '''Columbia University Wind Ensemble''' has, since [[1998]], grown in membership, audience, musical ability, organization, and has come to be one of the top providers of music performance in the Columbia community. The ensemble strives to play the best of the wind ensemble literature and also performs some marches and orchestral transcriptions for band. They give two themed concerts per semester, culminating in a spring concert which is chosen by and pays tribute to the members of the graduating senior class. The musicians are very involved, suggesting concert repertoire and taking opportunities to compose and guest-conduct.

Comprised mainly of undergraduate students from all schools and academic disciplines, the Columbia University Wind Ensemble strives to provide an outlet for musicians to perform the best of the wind ensemble repertoire and to meet other musicians in a social environment. The CU Wind Ensemble developed a music program at P.S. 125 called [[Making Music Matter]] which is mainly funded through the annual [[Columbia Festival of Winds]], an all-day concert celebrating wind music and music education. However, the CUWE is now collaborating with the Musical Mentors Collaborative (MMC) to provide music education to children.

== History ==

Founded in the 1930s as the Columbia University Concert Band, the Columbia University Wind Ensemble was first directed by Harwood Simmons, then the conductor of the [[Columbia University Orchestra]]. After a long hiatus, former president Kenneth Cho revived the Columbia University Wind Ensemble in 1998 under the direction of conductor Theodore "T.J." Perlick Molinari after finding that the former group had dissolved, leaving the university community with no outlet for serious wind music. Soon, the ensemble grew from a core membership of fifteen players to a full wind ensemble of almost forty musicians performing the standard wind ensemble repertoire.

In 2002, Andrew Pease entered as conductor and music director. Because of his dedicated work, Mr. Pease has increased the group's recognition throughout Columbia and New York City, and has allowed the ensemble to perform some of the most challenging wind ensemble repertoire. In addition, the executive board, comprised of all undergraduate students, continues to works hard completing the ensemble's administrative tasks and advancing the musical and social environment of the ensemble.

Recently, the Columbia University Wind Ensemble has grown to a full wind ensemble of almost sixty brass, woodwind, and percussion musicians. In 2006, the ensemble began the [[Teachers College]] Conducting Partnership, allowing a qualified TC student to serve as a guest conductor for one concert. The group has played at Merkin Hall, [[St. Paul's Chapel]], [[Miller Theatre]], [[Philosophy Hall]], [[Roone Arledge Auditorium]], and Yale's Woolsey Hall, and performed in joint concerts with other University ensembles such as the Yale Concert Band, MIT Concert Band, the Queens College Wind Ensemble, the Harvard Wind Ensemble, the Dartmouth Wind Symphony, and the Brown Wind Symphony.

In 2009, the Wind Ensemble produced two new programs: the Columbia Festival of Winds, an all-day concert promoting wind band performances, and Making Music Matter, a free music-education program at P.S. 125 funded in part by the Festival.

In 2013, Jason Noble became the new conductor and music director of the Wind Ensemble.

In 2014, the Wind Ensemble began a new partnership with the Musical Mentors Collaborative in order to mutually improve their abilities to provide music education.

In 2016, the Wind Ensemble performed at Carnegie Hall, their second appearance since 1965.

== Music Director - Jason Noble ==

Jason Noble currently serves as Conductor of the Columbia University Wind Ensemble in New York, New York. In addition to his duties at Columbia
University, Noble currently serves as Conductor and Director of the Wind Ensemble
at Scarsdale High School in Scarsdale, New York. Noble has held recent positions
at Hofstra University (Director of Bands, Visiting Assistant Professor), New York
University (Associate Director of Wind Ensembles), and the critically acclaimed
Hanover Wind Symphony (Music Director). He has served as an adjunct lecturer at
Teachers College - Columbia University, Montclair State University, and Kean

In 2004, Noble commissioned a new significant work for wind band, “Yosemite
Autumn,” by composer Mark Camphouse. Since that commissioning project, he has
also been part of consortia commissions of composers Michael Markowski and
James Syler. Noble and the Miami Coral Park High School band released a
professionally recorded CD, “Living a Musical Dream,” with Mark Custom Records
in 2003. Ensembles under Jason Noble’s direction have consistently received
national and international acclaim. Honor bands and ensembles under Noble’s
direction have performed by exclusive competitive invitation at Carnegie Hall
(2003, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016), Salzburg and Vienna, Austria (2009, 2015),

Jason Noble is in frequent and high demand as a conductor, lecturer, and music
performance adjudicator across the United States and abroad. He recently guest
conducted wind ensembles in South Africa, Australia, United Kingdom, and
China. Noble is an executive board member and adjudicator for the Central States
Judges Association (CSJA), one of the nation’s premier musical adjudication
organizations. Noble's research interests include Band Education, Instrumental
Music Education, and Philosophies of Music Education.

== Audition Process ==

Auditions for the CU Wind Ensemble usually occur during the first weekend after classes start. Musicians must prepare a two-minute selection that best represents their performance level and sight-read music from the upcoming concert. Auditions typically last about ten minutes and musicians are asked to arrive five minutes early to warm up.

E-mail wind-exec@columbia.edu for an audition slot or more information!

== Columbia Festival of Winds and Making Music Matter ==

The [[Columbia Festival of Winds]] is a daylong series of concerts to benefit public school music education. Featured New York City area music ensembles including the Columbia University Wind Ensemble, the Princeton University Wind Ensemble, the Manhattan Wind Ensemble, the Lesbian and Gay Big Apple Corp, Frank Sinatra High School Band, and Jambalaya Brass have participated in this all-day event to raise money for Making Music Matter. Wycliffe Gordon, an internationally recognized jazz trombonist, and New York Philharmonic Director of Education Theodore Wiprud, have also participated in the festival to promote public school music programming.

Proceeds from the festival provide funding for [[Making Music Matter]], a free after-school music education program founded by members of the Columbia University Wind Ensemble in 2009. With the support of the Morningside Area Alliance, volunteers from the CU Wind Ensemble work with a group of fourth grade musicians at P.S. 125. Money raised during 2008's inaugural festival has provided funds for renting flutes, clarinets, trumpets and trombones, buying music books, and supplying instrument accessories such as reeds and valve oil. The P.S. 125 Band performed for the first time during the 2009 Columbia Festival of Winds (receiving great applause for Hot Cross Buns). The program is continuing to expand, with a large donation from Ali Hard through the Van Am Award, given to her in 2010.

In 2014, the Wind Ensemble began a new partnership with the Musical Mentors Collaborative (MMC) in order to mutually improve their abilities to provide music education. The Columbia Festival of Winds proceeds now go to the MMC to help them with their programs.

== Notable Alumni and Guest Conductors ==

Notable alumni include [[Maxine Woods]], former principal bassoonist with the Toronto Symphony, and [[Armando Ghitalla]], former principal trumpeter with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Notable guest conductors have included Edwin Franko Goldman and Karel Husa. The ensemble performed joint concerts with other University musical ensembles such as the MIT Concert Band, Queens College Wind Ensemble, Yale Concert Band and the Harvard Wind Ensemble, which was a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall in 1965.

== Commissioned Pieces ==

In the past, the CU Wind Ensemble has commissioned many pieces including Michael DiGiacinto’s Soundscape (2006), Erik Jorgen Jorgensen's Chaconne (2007), and Oliver Caplan’s Reason for Hope in a Complex World (2008).

The ensemble also had the honor of the NYC premiere of Frank Ticheli’s Nitro in March 2007 and the world premiere of Dr. Edward Green's Overture in E-flat, arranged by Andrew Pease, in April 2010.

The '''Columbia University Wind Ensemble''' has, since [[1998]], grown in membership, audience, musical ability, organization, and has come to be one of the top providers of music performance in the Columbia community. The ensemble strives to play the best of the wind ensemble literature and also performs some marches and orchestral transcriptions for band. They give two themed concerts per semester, culminating in a spring concert which is chosen by and pays tribute to the members of the graduating senior class. The musicians are very involved, suggesting concert repertoire and taking opportunities to compose and guest-conduct.

Comprised mainly of undergraduate students from all schools and academic disciplines, the Columbia University Wind Ensemble strives to provide an outlet for musicians to perform the best of the wind ensemble repertoire and to meet other musicians in a social environment. The CU Wind Ensemble developed a music program at P.S. 125 called [[Making Music Matter]] which is mainly funded through the annual [[Columbia Festival of Winds]], an all-day concert celebrating wind music and music education. However, the CUWE is now collaborating with the Musical Mentors Collaborative (MMC) to provide music education to children.

== History ==

Founded in the 1930s as the Columbia University Concert Band, the Columbia University Wind Ensemble was first directed by Harwood Simmons, then the conductor of the [[Columbia University Orchestra]]. After a long hiatus, former president Kenneth Cho revived the Columbia University Wind Ensemble in 1998 under the direction of conductor Theodore "T.J." Perlick Molinari after finding that the former group had dissolved, leaving the university community with no outlet for serious wind music. Soon, the ensemble grew from a core membership of fifteen players to a full wind ensemble of almost forty musicians performing the standard wind ensemble repertoire.

In 2002, Andrew Pease entered as conductor and music director. Because of his dedicated work, Mr. Pease has increased the group's recognition throughout Columbia and New York City, and has allowed the ensemble to perform some of the most challenging wind ensemble repertoire. In addition, the executive board, comprised of all undergraduate students, continues to works hard completing the ensemble's administrative tasks and advancing the musical and social environment of the ensemble.

Recently, the Columbia University Wind Ensemble has grown to a full wind ensemble of almost sixty brass, woodwind, and percussion musicians. In 2006, the ensemble began the [[Teachers College]] Conducting Partnership, allowing a qualified TC student to serve as a guest conductor for one concert. The group has played at Merkin Hall, [[St. Paul's Chapel]], [[Miller Theatre]], [[Philosophy Hall]], [[Roone Arledge Auditorium]], and Yale's Woolsey Hall, and performed in joint concerts with other University ensembles such as the Yale Concert Band, MIT Concert Band, the Queens College Wind Ensemble, the Harvard Wind Ensemble, the Dartmouth Wind Symphony, and the Brown Wind Symphony.

In 2009, the Wind Ensemble produced two new programs: the Columbia Festival of Winds, an all-day concert promoting wind band performances, and Making Music Matter, a free music-education program at P.S. 125 funded in part by the Festival.

In 2013, Jason Noble became the new conductor and music director of the Wind Ensemble.

In 2014, the Wind Ensemble began a new partnership with the Musical Mentors Collaborative in order to mutually improve their abilities to provide music education.

In 2016, the Wind Ensemble performed at Carnegie Hall, their second appearance since 1965.

== Music Director - Jason Noble ==

Jason Noble currently serves as Conductor of the Columbia University Wind Ensemble in New York, New York. In addition to his duties at Columbia
University, Noble currently serves as Conductor and Director of the Wind Ensemble
at Scarsdale High School in Scarsdale, New York. Noble has held recent positions
at Hofstra University (Director of Bands, Visiting Assistant Professor), New York
University (Associate Director of Wind Ensembles), and the critically acclaimed
Hanover Wind Symphony (Music Director). He has served as an adjunct lecturer at
Teachers College - Columbia University, Montclair State University, and Kean
University. Noble has previously held positions as Director of Bands at Miami
Coral Park High School, Miami, Florida. Noble holds degrees from New York
University (M.A., Music Education) and University of Miami (B.M., Music
Education, magna cum laude) and is currently a doctoral candidate (Ed.D, Music
Education) at Teachers College, Columbia University.

In 2004, Noble commissioned a new significant work for wind band, “Yosemite
Autumn,” by composer Mark Camphouse. Since that commissioning project, he has
also been part of consortia commissions of composers Michael Markowski and
James Syler. Noble and the Miami Coral Park High School band released a
professionally recorded CD, “Living a Musical Dream,” with Mark Custom Records
in 2003. Ensembles under Jason Noble’s direction have consistently received
national and international acclaim. Honor bands and ensembles under Noble’s
direction have performed by exclusive competitive invitation at Carnegie Hall
(2003, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016), Salzburg and Vienna, Austria (2009, 2015),
Prague, Czech Republic (2009, 2015), Gran Canaria, Spain (2010), Barcelona,
Spain (2010), London, England (2013), at The Sibelius Academy in Helsinki,
Finland (2013), Budapest, Hungary (2015) and were invited to perform exclusively
at the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia (2004).

Jason Noble is in frequent and high demand as a conductor, lecturer, and music
performance adjudicator across the United States and abroad. He recently guest
conducted wind ensembles in South Africa, Australia, United Kingdom, and
China. Noble is an executive board member and adjudicator for the Central States
Judges Association (CSJA), one of the nation’s premier musical adjudication
organizations. Noble's research interests include Band Education, Instrumental
Music Education, and Philosophies of Music Education.

== Audition Process ==

Auditions for the CU Wind Ensemble usually occur during the first weekend after classes start. Musicians must prepare a two-minute selection that best represents their performance level and sight-read music from the upcoming concert. Auditions typically last about ten minutes and musicians are asked to arrive five minutes early to warm up.

E-mail wind-exec@columbia.edu for an audition slot or more information!

== Columbia Festival of Winds and Making Music Matter ==

The [[Columbia Festival of Winds]] is a daylong series of concerts to benefit public school music education. Featured New York City area music ensembles including the Columbia University Wind Ensemble, the Princeton University Wind Ensemble, the Manhattan Wind Ensemble, the Lesbian and Gay Big Apple Corp, Frank Sinatra High School Band, and Jambalaya Brass have participated in this all-day event to raise money for Making Music Matter. Wycliffe Gordon, an internationally recognized jazz trombonist, and New York Philharmonic Director of Education Theodore Wiprud, have also participated in the festival to promote public school music programming.

Proceeds from the festival provide funding for [[Making Music Matter]], a free after-school music education program founded by members of the Columbia University Wind Ensemble in 2009. With the support of the Morningside Area Alliance, volunteers from the CU Wind Ensemble work with a group of fourth grade musicians at P.S. 125. Money raised during 2008's inaugural festival has provided funds for renting flutes, clarinets, trumpets and trombones, buying music books, and supplying instrument accessories such as reeds and valve oil. The P.S. 125 Band performed for the first time during the 2009 Columbia Festival of Winds (receiving great applause for Hot Cross Buns). The program is continuing to expand, with a large donation from Ali Hard through the Van Am Award, given to her in 2010.

In 2014, the Wind Ensemble began a new partnership with the Musical Mentors Collaborative (MMC) in order to mutually improve their abilities to provide music education. The Columbia Festival of Winds proceeds now go to the MMC to help them with their programs.

== Notable Alumni and Guest Conductors ==

Notable alumni include [[Maxine Woods]], former principal bassoonist with the Toronto Symphony, and [[Armando Ghitalla]], former principal trumpeter with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Notable guest conductors have included Edwin Franko Goldman and Karel Husa. The ensemble performed joint concerts with other University musical ensembles such as the MIT Concert Band, Queens College Wind Ensemble, Yale Concert Band and the Harvard Wind Ensemble, which was a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall in 1965.

== Commissioned Pieces ==

In the past, the CU Wind Ensemble has commissioned many pieces including Michael DiGiacinto’s Soundscape (2006), Erik Jorgen Jorgensen's Chaconne (2007), and Oliver Caplan’s Reason for Hope in a Complex World (2008).

The ensemble also had the honor of the NYC premiere of Frank Ticheli’s Nitro in March 2007 and the world premiere of Dr. Edward Green's Overture in E-flat, arranged by Andrew Pease, in April 2010.

'''Bwog''', originally called '''The Bwog''', started its existence as the blog of ''[[The Blue and White]]'' magazine, but has since then developed a life of its own separate from the magazine. Centered on campus news and gossip, it was launched on [[January 30|January 30th]], [[2006]]<ref>[http://bwog.net/2006/01/30/you-can-take-the-soviet-out-of-russia "You Can Take the Soviet Out of Russia..."], ''Bwog'', 1/30/06 - First post to Bwog</ref>, by founding editor [[Taylor Walsh]]. The site was inspired by gossip blogs that began to be popular in New York in the mid-00s, especially [[Gawker]]. Some consider it to be snotty and elitist. Others consider it witty and entertaining. Most people read it regardless. It's generally understood that Bwog was great last year but now it sucks, regardless of the current year.

== History ==
[[Image:Bwogv4.JPG|thumb|200px|Bwog's 2012 redesign]]

Although it had already been active for months, Bwog went mainstream in October [[2006]] with its nearly real-time coverage of the [[Minuteman stage-rush]] incident, which did for it what the Gulf War did for CNN - made students realize that the blog medium, and Bwog in particular, was their most up to date source of campus news. A popular sister blog launched in [[2008]] to cover the exploits of [[Hawkmadinejad]]. The site has undergone three serious redesigns since inception, notably on [[January 1]], [[2009]] and [[September 22]], [[2012]]. Both designs were met with immediate backlash from readers<ref>[http://bwog.com/2012/09/23/looking-for-feedback/#comments "Looking for Feedback"], ''Bwog'', 9/23/12</ref>, but just like Facebook, eventually people stop complaining and continue using the site.

Elizabeth “Betsy” Ladyzhets, BC ’19 and McElroy brother enthusiast, was heavily involved in [[Bwog]], the [[Columbia University Marching Band]] (CUMB), and the [[Columbia University Wind Ensemble]]. Everything in this entry actually happened. She double majored in Biology and English because she loves trees both as tall bois and paper. She recommends that you take a class with Margaret Vandenberg and read your Allen Ginsberg.

She is always hydrated.

Ladyzhets joined Bwog in the fall of 2015 as its Thursday daily editor. She served two semesters as managing editor and spent one semester as editor-in-chief before resuming her roll as managing editor for fall 2018. Most notable achievements as Editor-in-Chief include the appointment of a science editor and <s>Fantasy</s> Costco snacks.

Ladyzhets brought her skill with the clarinet to the CUMB in the spring of 2016, although she was not a fully-initiated bandie until fall 2016. She served as travel manager from spring 2017 to fall 2017. During her tenure, she fixed a bus with nothing but a menstrual pad and successfully got the band to <s>Brown</s> Cornell despite two broken buses.

Ladyzhets is also currently serving her third term as vice president of the Columbia University Wind Ensemble (CUWE). Nothing of note happened because CUWE is as pure as Maggie the Magnolia I, may she rest in peace.

Bwog

'''Bwog''', originally called '''The Bwog''', started its existence as the blog of ''[[The Blue and White]]'' magazine, but has since then developed a life of its own separate from the magazine. Centered on campus news and gossip, it was launched on [[January 30|January 30th]], [[2006]]<ref>[http://bwog.net/2006/01/30/you-can-take-the-soviet-out-of-russia "You Can Take the Soviet Out of Russia..."], ''Bwog'', 1/30/06 - First post to Bwog</ref>, by founding editor [[Taylor Walsh]]. The site was inspired by gossip blogs that began to be popular in New York in the mid-00s, especially [[Gawker]]. Some consider it to be snotty and elitist. Others consider it witty and entertaining. Most people read it regardless. It's generally understood that Bwog was great last year but now it sucks, regardless of the current year.

== History ==
[[Image:Bwogv4.JPG|thumb|200px|Bwog's 2012 redesign]]

Although it had already been active for months, Bwog went mainstream in October [[2006]] with its nearly real-time coverage of the [[Minuteman stage-rush]] incident, which did for it what the Gulf War did for CNN - made students realize that the blog medium, and Bwog in particular, was their most up to date source of campus news. A popular sister blog launched in [[2008]] to cover the exploits of [[Hawkmadinejad]]. The site has undergone three serious redesigns since inception, notably on [[January 1]], [[2009]] and [[September 22]], [[2012]]. Both designs were met with immediate backlash from readers<ref>[http://bwog.com/2012/09/23/looking-for-feedback/#comments "Looking for Feedback"], ''Bwog'', 9/23/12</ref>, but just like Facebook, eventually people stop complaining and continue using the site.

In [[2010]], the site celebrated its [http://bwog.net/2010/04/18/overseen-mrsbo-racecars-and-croquet#comment-198189 100,000th entry comment]. That same year, the site moved from Bwog.net to Bwog.com, for unclear reasons.

== Common Features ==

*Breaking news
*Bwoglines
*Coverage of protests / major campus events
*LectureHops / RoomHops / OfficeHops / PeopleHops
*Things overheard on campus
*Student council meetings coverage that maybe 3 people read
*Event listings
*Rodent coverage
*[[Free food]] announcements, far too close to the event time to be of any use
*Internet culture features
*BwogSex
*On-campus theater reviews
*Comments, with a reputation for being caustic and asinine
*[[Senior Wisdom]]
*Actual Wisdom
*[[BwogWeather]]

Unlike [[Spec]], Bwog stays active and running during finals. They immediately regretted that decision but such is life.

==Publication==
Despite [http://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/learn/studentlife/activities what Columbia might insinuate,] Bwog is not officially affiliated with the school--the organization does not get support or funding in any form from the university. It is an independent blog that the administration (often begrudgingly) acknowledges. It is completely student-run and managed, supported financially by ad sales.
