| The Millers to Play The Center for Performing Arts at ... - Broadway World Posted: 26 Mar 2010 11:30 PM PDT
The Millers, a family band of three talented brothers and their father, perform at The Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University for a night of cabaret-style entertainment Saturday, March 27 at 8 p.m.This live concert event features Clayton on guitar and vocals, Cole on drums and vocals, and 16-year-old blues harmonica extraordinaire LD, along with their dad Larry on bass. As the second place winners on the first season of NBC's hit show "America's Got Talent" and opening for blues legend B.B. King at The Center in February 2007, The Millers make a triumphant return for the final cabaret show of The Center's 2010 series. Single tickets are now on sale, priced at just $37 and available at centertickets.net or by calling The Center Box Office at (708) 235-2222. The Millers are the final show in the new 2010 "The Cabaret at The Center" three-part series that allows audiences to enjoy the experience of sitting on The Center's stage with the band as it is transformed into a 1940s-style cabaret club complete with table seating for 250, full cash bar and snacks available for purchase. Although they had been singing around the camp fire together for years, The Millers were officially born after Clayton left the alternative band he had been the front man of since the age of 15. Following the family's passion for blues-infused rock, Clayton, his brothers and his father started playing together in 1999, and they have been touring together ever since. Each member of this family-band is blessed with extraordinary talent. Brothers LD and Cole just finished headlining at the Tropicana in Las Vegas for 10 months, and The Millers have shared the stage with artists including BB King, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, John Popper of Blues Traveller, Keb Mo, Kanye West, India Arie, Ziggy Marley, Joss Stone, Joan Jett, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Walter Trout and Ricky Skaggs. The band has also appeared on a slew of popular shows such as "The Ellen Show," "The Today Show," "The Tonight Show," "Extra" and "Access Hollywood." The Millers were even selected for the Blue Deluxe Radio Program, which is aired on 100 radio stations across the country. The Millers are in good company on the exclusive program, nestled between BB King and Bob Dylan. The Millers perform in the 2010 "The Cabaret at The Center" series at The Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University Saturday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. Single tickets and subscriptions for The Center's 15th Anniversary 2009-2010 Season are currently on sale.

| Tight budget forces cuts in field trips - Hawk Eye Posted: 27 Mar 2010 08:20 AM PDT published online: 3/27/2010By PHYLLIS COULTERand M.K. GUETERSLOH The (Bloomington) Pantagraph BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- About 600 third-graders from various McLean County schools will learn April 14 about composting from the "worm lady," meet creatures from Wildlife Prairie State Park and try dozens of hands-on activities at Conservation Day in Bloomington. But about 400 third-graders from Normal-based Unit 5 won't be there. Some school districts reeling from delays in state transportation payments have slashed spending on buses for field trips. For organizations that offer the destinations of those trips, those cuts may mean readjusting their budgets, schedules and how they carry out their educational missions. "It has a big impact," said Paula Wager, education coordinator for the McLean County Soil and Water Conservation District, which sponsors Conservation Day. For her agency, it means an increase in the per-student cost of Conservation Day, which has a $3,000 price tag regardless of attendance. "It is disappointing because field trips are an excellent way to enhance our curriculum offerings," said Joe Adelman, Unit 5 director of operations, after the school district halted a majority of its field trips for the school year. For geographically compact Bloomington District 87, busing costs are less, and students often are able to walk to some attractions, said Teresa Hill, assistant superintendent of curriculum. That means their trip schedule has not changed much, she said. At the David Davis Mansion State Historic Site in Bloomington, attendance from District 87 schools has picked up when most Unit 5 schools have stopped visiting, said Jeannie Riordan, assistant site manager. In Clinton, school visits to the C.H. Moore Homestead museum have dropped this year, but home-school groups increased, said resident manager Larry Buss. When students can't come to the attractions, sometimes the attractions can pack up and go to them. Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington has its Zoo-to-You program, which brings animals to classrooms, said Zoo Superintendent Jay Tetzloff. The Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts in Bloomington and the Children's Discovery Museum in Normal also offer programs they can take to classrooms. Beyond that, they have worked to dovetail their programs so schools can combine visits to each destination in one trip, said Joel Aalberts, BCPA manager. Still, the performing arts center has had to curtail its student-oriented offerings, he said. Typically the center has scheduled about a dozen performances geared to field trips, but that will be cut to about eight this season. Even the conservation district, smarting from not seeing Unit 5 students at Conservation Day, expects it will be taking its mobile classroom, Earth Express, to more schools this year, Wagner said.
