M.P. Baker Library to host Through These Eyes of Mine
Posted 2017-12-14 10:15:00	by Panola College
The M.P. Baker Library at Panola College will host an exhibit by local
artist, Katy Chance. The exhibit titled, “Through These Eyes of Mine” will
be displayed in the Fay Allison Gallery from January 8, 2018 through
February 23, 2018. In addition, an opening reception will be held Thursday,
January 18, 2018 at 3pm in the M.P. Baker Library foyer.
Katy Chance is the Residence Life Coordinator/Head Residence Hall
Supervisor at Panola College. Chance earned an associate degree from
Panola College and her BFA at Northwestern State University.
“People say that art is an expression of one’s self, a way to relate to the
masses, that we reveal a piece of ourselves without realizing it. I believe
that we wake up new every day. I will never paint with the same hands as I
did the day before,” stated Katy Chance, when asked about her artwork. “All
I can do is hope that I have done more with this God given gift than paint
a pretty picture or create an object that might sell.”
The exhibit is free and open to the public during the Library’s operating
7:30 am - 9:00 pm, Friday 7:30 am – 12:30 pm, and Sunday 4:00 – 9:00 pm.

Panola College singers perform in Dallas
Posted 2017-12-12 11:31:00	by Panola College
Members of the Panola College Chorale performed along with choirs from
Dallas-area community colleges in Daniel Pinkham’s “Christmas Cantata,” on
Sunday, Dec. 3, at Central Lutheran Church in Dallas.
Panola College was the only college outside the Dallas area that
participated, according to Sandra Bauer, Panola College Vocal Music
“We had 19 students who performed this extremely difficult music,” she
said. “It took a lot of extra rehearsal time to perfect it, and I was
pleased that my students were willing to put in the extra effort and extra
time to audition for a chance to participate.”
Panola College students joined with singers from Richland College,
Brookhaven College, and Tarrant County College-Northeast. Others performing
included the Brookhaven Handbell Ensemble, Brookhaven Choral Society, Texas
Woman’s University Chamber Singers, and The Vivace Madrigals.
Panola College singers making the trip included Ronke Ajoniloju, Nigeria;
Shelby Brown, Carthage; Meosha Brown, Carthage; Ahmadreion Casel,
Jacksonville; Loren Caserta, Beckville; Zakayla Cooper, Carthage; Afrikina
Dotson, Center; Brittany Fendall, Shreveport; Emma Harden, Tyler; Tyesha
High, Jacksonville; Madison Hudson, Garrison; Shannon James, Tenaha; Hunter
Moon, Beckville; Nichole Painter, Marshall; Kyana Reagan, Lufkin; Mia
Sartor, Carthage; Ahna Stacy, Carthage; Jame’Cia Taylor, Carthage; and
Sydnee Taylor, Carthage.
As part of the program, the Panola College Chamber Singers performed “Veni,
Veni, Emmanuel,” an ancient chant arranged by John Englert. The Singers
performed this piece at Christmas in Carthage this year. The Dallas
performance program was entitled “Sing Noel, Lessons & Carols for Advent &
Christmas,” featuring the Festival Community College Choirs and Ensembles.
“This was the first year this event has ever happened. Melody Gamblin
Bullock, director at Brookhaven, approached me at the Texas Music Educators
Association last year with the idea of combining choirs to produce a major
work,” Bauer said.
While in Dallas, the Panola College group attended a performance of the
Dallas Symphony Orchestra, which featured music from the nationally
recognized organ that is part of the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center.
“The majority of our students had never been to a symphony, much less one
as incredible as the Dallas Symphony. It was the Christmas Pops Show, so
the Dallas Symphony Chorus performed, and our students were able to hear
that choir, which was absolute perfection,” Bauer added.
Shannon James, a Panola College vocal music student, said, “Singing the
piece by Pinkham with several Dallas community colleges was already
amazing, but thanks to Mrs. Bauer, we got to experience the Dallas
Symphony. The trip was an incredible experience and I’m so grateful to be a
part of the Panola College Music Department.”
Members of the Panola College Chorale participated in a Christmas Cantata
with other community colleges in the Dallas area on December 3.
