FANFARE
1997
A Celebration of
the Arts, Humanities and Sciences
September 26 to October
30
Southeastern Louisiana University
Hammond, La.
What
is Fanfare? According
to Webster's Dictionary, "Fanfare" is "a flourish of trumpets,
a showy outward display." At
Southeastern Louisiana University, we say it is a year's worth of culture
and entertainment in just one captivating month.
Fanfare
happens every October at Southeastern,
traditionally swinging into action with a flourish of trumpets -- the trumpets
as a cool jazz band playing for picnickers in a picturesque downtown park.
The horns herald a special season
of entertainment, a year's worth of culture and fun marching quick-step
across four dazzling weeks. Southeastern
and the College of Arts and Sciences designed Fanfare as a salute to the
arts that enrich our souls, thrill our hearts and challenge our minds.
Through Fanfare's astonishing array
of events you sense extraordinary drama, hear delightful sounds, consider
thought-provoking ideas and observe beautiful images.
In a panoply of charm and wonder for all ages, performers and performances
parade across Fanfare's stages with academia's pomp and wit, Broadway's
shine and glitter, and Carnival's merriment and show.
