Lesson One, exercises 1 and 2.
Hand lettering is rarely used anymore, thank goodness, as I always hated doing it. If I had to, I would print out type and trace it. Have to admit though, it does have a certain 1940's hand made wobbly quality that has vanished from most artwork.
What I have learned is that it requires tons of practice, its a big mistake to think you can attempt to do it freehand, and
my spacing here is crap.
Yet to do exercise 3, lettering a 'film title', which apparently used to be a job once. But you get to choose or invent any kind of lettering for that. Woo - hoo!

Pandora staffers volunteer once a month at a local school, teaching music lessons.
Here is Steve, our Music Operations Manager, with a drum he made from cardboard tubing, and that shrinkable plastic wrap you can blow-dry tight around your windows. (in this case, it makes an excellent drum head.)
He and the volunteering gang will assist our 3rd graders in making, decorating, and playing their own drums. We'll also do a basic lesson on time signatures, rhythm, etc.
Drum instructions, per Steve:
Supplies:
Cardboard tubes cut to size (we used shipping tubes, but this could even be an oatmeal container)
Squares of that shrinkable plastic for winterizing windows
Double sided tape
Packing tape
Black Duct Tape
Glue sticks
Hairdryer
Stickers, markers, crayons, construction paper
Long pencils with erasers (drum sticks)
Thin but sturdy rope (optional)
Making the drum:
1) Put a ring of double-sided tape around the cardboard drum shell, about 1/2" - 1"
below the rim.
2) Carefully lay one plastic sheet across the top of the drum shell. Press the plastic
against the double sided tape at any spot around the ring, making sure it's relatively
centered. Pull the plastic somewhat tight (it will be tightened later with the hair dryer)
and press the plastic against the double sided tape directly opposite the first spot. Next, push the plastic against the tape at the spots 90 degrees from the first two. Then work your way around the drum and stick the rest of the plastic against the tape, being careful not to get too many wrinkles.
3) When the first drum head is fully attached, repeat step 2 with a second drum head over the first, for more sturdy drum head.
4) When both drum heads are attached one over top of the other, wrap one layer of packing tape around the drum, taping down the loose edges of the plastic sheets to the cardboard.
5) Use the hair dryer to shrink the plastic tight over the drum. Maybe stop a few
times and tap the drum to see if you can hear the pitch rising as the drum tightens.
6) Once the drum head is sufficiently tight, and the drum sounds AWESOME, pick the desired color of construction paper, wrap around drum (may need 2-3 sheets glued end to end), and attach to cardboard with glue sticks and black tape around the top and bottom rims.
7) If you want to the drum to be wearable around the neck, make two holes in the sides of the drum and thread the ends of the rope into the holes. Knot the rope inside the drum to hold the rope in place.
8) Decorate the drum (stickers, markers, crayons etc...).
9) Bang on the drum!
(Above, Steve is using the eraser ends of unsharpened pencils to bang on the drum, but I believe he also tested the drum with regular drum sticks.)
Big thanks to Steve (a pianist by trade) for dreaming up this idea, and for leading the lesson at the school. I'm guessing his three-year-old son is going to inherit the original model shown in this photo. : )

Mosquitoes and God
Bible school helps children squash malaria, learn lessons
By Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth

CAMP CASEY – Mosquitoes and God may not have too much in common, but they were what 86 children learned about at this year’s Area I Vacation Bible School held at the West Casey Chapel July 23-27.
“Vacation Bible School is about character development and spiritual development,” said Jessica Clark, the coordinator for the school. “It is a place where kids can come and learn about God, and to also learn some positive moral values they can take with them every day of the week.”
Helping others is one of those values that the 3 to 12 year olds learned.
“The most exciting thing is the mission project that we are doing,” Clark said. The children are learning about the African country of Mali and how children there are dying from malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease.
The Area I Vacation Bible School students are taking part in Operation Kid-to-Kid’s worldwide effort to squash malaria in Mali. According to the Operation Kid-to-Kid website, malaria is a leading cause of death of children under five, with more than 2,000 children dying every day. The Area I children donated 94 nets, which will protect three children for up to four years. Operation Kid-to-Kid has raised almost $291,000 to purchase mosquito nets for Mali’s children.
“The project really engages the children, because it talks about mosquitoes and that is something that every kid can understand, they have all been bitten by a mosquito,” said Clark. “And they are also helping other kids and they like that too. They can say “hey there is a kid in Mali who is five like me and they are worried about mosquitoes and I can help them to not worry about mosquitoes anymore.’”
Throughout the week they played games to help them understand about the malaria and how the bed nets would help the Mali children. For one game, a couple children were chosen to be mosquitoes; their bite was simulated by tossing rolled up socks at the rest of their classmates. Once those classmates took refuge under a parachute (which represented a mosquito net) the “mosquitoes” bite wasn’t felt.
Those games carried over into learning to trust God, the theme for this year’s Bible school.
“The theme is no matter who you are, no matter how you feel, no matter what – trust God,” said Sgt. Amber Harris, the chaplain assistant for 1st Brigade Special Troops Battalion. The daily lessons also included no matter what people do, what happens or where you are. “Tuesday we did ‘no matter how you feel.’ Whether you are sad, whether you are hurt, whether you are happy, no matter how you feel God is truly there for you and no matter what you can truly trust in Him , because He will always be there for you.”
Although this was “Bible” school, the children didn’t open books to learn their lessons.
Instead they visited such places as the Imagination Station, where they did “sciency fun gizmo experiments and got to be little mad scientists doing all these cool experiments that reinforced what they learned,” said Clark.
“I like the fizzy flyers that we did on Tuesday,” she said. They had to put a tablet in a solution and then watch it explode and rocket up high in the sky. We were learning that no matter how we feel we can trust God”
Clark said the experiment allowed the kids to see that no matter how out of control or unsure they were of an outcome or how apprehensive they felt about doing something – that they can always trust God that he will be there for them.
In the Wild Blue Bible Adventures, Chaplain (Capt.) Bruce Duty, 1st BSTB, acted out with the children Jesus’ last week before his crucifixion. On Wednesday, they prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, and then hid as the Roman soldiers came for Jesus. They then counted out the 30 pieces of silver that Judas was paid for identifying Jesus to the Romans.
“I love Vacation Bible School because I get to learn even more about God,” said 11-year-old Jacob White . “And, if I trust God then I don’t have to be alone in my life.”
