[BHS Etree] VOLUNTEERS: Gamelan Concert/Field Trip on May 5 (Thurs)

[BHS Etree]

PLEASE do not reply to this message, contact Alan Miller 
alanmiller at berkeley.net <mailto:alanmiller at berkeley.net>

I am planning a walking field trip to see Gamelan Music at UC Berkeley 
with my sophomores on *Wed, May 4 *and am looking for 5 volunteers to 
join us.

We will leave BHS around 10:45, eat lunch on the green there, listen to 
the concert, then walk back quickly in order to be on time (mostly) for 
Period 5. I would need people available from 10:30 until 1:45 at the 
latest. Volunteers will need good walking shoes, lunch and the ability 
to urge teens to move quickly.

Please let me know if you can join us by emailing me at 
alanmiller at berkeley.net

Thank you,


Alan Miller

he continues to work with them regularly while also teaching gamelan

/A young and passionate culture-bearer, Widnyana’s in-depth knowledge 
and deep respect for Bali’s unique gamelan traditions is evident in the 
breadth of repertoire he is able to teach and perform, and in the 
historical and anthropological contexts he incorporates into his 
teachings and composition. /
