Kicked out of night club...
and the Third Coast/PRX party, YNN resorts to some craaaaaazy antics in room 405 of the swanky Hotel Orrington. Which we were also kicked out of because we got a little too loud. But it was fun while it lasted. Right now, we are attempting to order ice cream from room service, but it sounds like all there is is cheesecake. It will be here in half an hour. Now, we are going on a barefoot scavenger hunt for some unsuspecting youth groups in hopes that we can get our own party started. (Posted by Lena, Adrian, Erick, Mya, and Maria from the luverly little town of Evanston, IL...which is not really Chicago, but what are you gonna do? Did you know, that the cool place to be at midnight on Thursday in E-town is...BURGER KING?)

YNN pride
I got the fancy haircut to represent YNN in style at the Third Coast Audio Festival.
p.s. those are sound waves in case you're not total audio geeks like we are.

Third Coast
Youth Noise Network has been awarded a generous scholarship to attend the Third Coast International Audio Festival, October 25-27, 2006. We are one of a handful of youth radio projects selected for this honor. In attendance will be Erick Villeda, Mya Hunter, Lena Eckert-Erdheim and Adrian Boyes along with YNN coordinators Tennessee Watson and Maria Francesca Braganza.
Mya Hunter and Lena Eckert-Edrheim will be presenting their work during the "Teens with Mics" break out session. We are very proud of them and excited to hear what they have to say.
So on October 25 we're headed to Evanston, Illinois. We're going to learn a ton and have lots of good stuff to share when we get back to Durham.

Passionate Citizens
Youth Noise Network doesn't post much because we are constantly working so hard. But we are going to try harder to be active bloggers in the future.
Right now we are in the midst of the Passionate Citizens project--a documentary audio and photography exploration of civic engagement in Durham, North Carolina. That means Lena, Manny, Swati, Mya, Erick, Adrian, Liliana, Anya and Kiah are all working on 5 minute profiles on civically engaged Durham community members. The final pieces will be compiled along with photographs and written reflections about the project onto a DVD to be distributed to local high school civics and social studies classes.
We will unveil the pieces on Saturday December 9th, 2006 at 10:30am at the Center for Documentary Studies.
Come check us out!

Young Drivers
Emmanuel Watson: Young Drivers
In Durham, North Carolina, like elsewhere around the country, teens get into accidents which often result in fatalities.
Roll on a journey with Riverside High School junior Emmanuel Watson as he talks to brand new drivers. They tell him what they learned in drivers' ed, how their parents feel about them driving, stereotypes of teen drivers, and what are the main problems with teens driving.
Everybody has something to say about this, including a member of law enforcement, a drivers' ed teacher, and parents of teen drivers, including his own mother, who tells Emmanuel, "I'm going to have faith that you can drive."

Jordan Marching Band
Swati Rayasam: The Inner Workings of a High School Marching Band
Ever since I was little I've always dreamed of being in marching band. Being at a competition and hearing them announce, "Now on the field. C.E. Jordan High School Marching Falcons. Director, David Robinson." Under all the lights, the stadium being packed, people cheering for you. It's always been a big dream of mine. Not your usual dream, I know. But, I'm not your usual person. Finally I get to be IN the band instead of watching it.
This piece goes into the "inner workings" of the Jordan Marching Falcons. You learn alot about what everyone does and what the "legendary" band camp is all about. Jordan is one of the few real marching bands left from the DCI days. They haven't become Show Style and given up on trying to win just with the marching and music, relying on their colorguards and props to get first place. The only props you'll see with this marching band are the flags, rifles, and sabers. That's why I'm disappointed that lately, the judges have started to just judge on props, and that's not cool.
Interviewed in this piece are two marchers, a colorguard, and our well-known band director. It rids (I hope) marching band of all, or at least most, sterotypes produced by television or movies. Enjoy!
This Piece is Dedicated to Mr. David Robinson who is leaving Jordan after 20 years. We Love You DR!
Vocab for Non-Geeks like myself
DCI- Relies on marching skills to win competitions
Show Style-Relies on props to win competitions
Guard- The girls (and sometimes boys) who do the dancing part of the marching show while the band plays
Rifles(guns) Sabers(swords)Flags(flags)-Three basic things the guard uses
Drum Majors- The students who conduct the band while they are marching
Music-"Escapade" Performed by Jordan High School Marching Falcons 2003

Flea Market
Laura & Gabbi: Flea Market
This piece was created when Laura and Gabbi ventured through their local flea market in Raleigh, North Carolina. They fished through the goods offered by many different vendors and found both treasures and trash. They were at times successful exercising their flea market skills of bargaining and hunting for the right item at the right price!
You'll hear what can and cannot be found on a typical saturday morning at the local flea market.
