Glendale Community College is a community college in Glendale, Arizona, United States. GCC opened its doors in 1965. Programs include associate degrees, certificate programs, industry-specific training and university transfer. GCC is a part of the Maricopa County Community College District, one of the largest community college districts in the United States. The main campus is a 147-acre (0.59km2) site located at 59th and Olive Avenue in Glendale.
GCC has grown with the communities it serves by expanding facilities and programs at its main campus and by offering classes in various sites throughout the area. GCC North, in Phoenix, at 57th Avenue and Happy Valley Road opened in fall 2000 with 839 students from the northern part of Maricopa County. Financial backing donated by New York Architect Ron Elsensohn allowed for a major expansion of the north campus which unveiled in the fall of 2008. GCC also offers the first two years of general education requirements at the North Valley campus of Northern Arizona University located at 15601 N. 28th Avenue (I-17 & Greenway), in Phoenix and select classes at other sites like Valley Vista High School in Surprise.
The college was founded as Glendale Junior College in 1927, to serve the Glendale Union High School District which at the time included La Crescenta, Glendale, and Tujunga. From 1927 to 1929 classes were held in the buildings of Glendale Union High School at Broadway and Verdugo in the City of Glendale. In 1929 the junior college moved to the Harvard School plant of the Glendale Union High School District where it remained until 1937. In this year a new plant, part of the present one, was completed and occupied. The year before, in 1936, the Glendale Junior College District was dissolved as such and became a part of the new Glendale Unified School District. The name of the school was changed to Glendale College in 1944. On July 1, 1970 Glendale College became a part of the Glendale Junior College District. On April 20, 1971 the Board of Education adopted a resolution changing the District name to Glendale Community College District.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912. It was previously part of the territory of Alta California in New Spain before being passed down to independent Mexico and later ceded to the United States after the Mexican–American War. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
"Arizona" is a song written by Kenny Young and recorded by former Paul Revere and the Raiders member Mark Lindsay, with L.A. session musicians from the Wrecking Crew, in 1969. The single was Number 10 on the Hot 100 on 14 February 1970 and was awarded a RlAA Gold Disc in April 1970.
Overview
The song is about a man telling his hippie girlfriend, referred to as Arizona (it is not clear if this is her real name or a hippie pseudonym) to stop acting like a teeny bopper and follow him instead. Lyrics in the song mention the girl to "get rid of her hobo shoes, rainbow shades, and Indian braids", plus Robin Hood, the Count of Monte Cristo, the Countess May, and Aesop. The song was also recorded in 1969 both by Clodagh Rodgers (an Irish singer who was arguably Kenny Young's muse), and the Family Dogg. In addition the song was later covered by French singer Eddy Mitchell.

the single-reed conspiracy:
From 1996-2014, EDMUND WELLES was transmuting many musical styles into bass clarinet quartet form. The single-reed conspiracy has at its disposal the following devices culled from the world of heavy metal music: a thickness of tone, a density of texture, absolute rhythmic precision, and the extreme use of dynamic contrasts. The bass clarinet: a synergy of designs from all saxophones and clarinets, themselves the culmination of hundreds of years of single-reed instrument evolution. A four-and-a-half octave voice, multiplied into four equal parts and breathing together to create a dense, pulsing sound capable of expressing and reflecting the full range of human emotions.
There was no precedent for a wind-based ensemble such as this attempting to build these massive bridges between avant jazz, new music, black metal and classic rock.
Cornelius Boots short bio:
Cornelius Boots established himself as a woodwind panstylist and hardcore creative composer-performer in the 1990’s and has performed in most types of ensembles, at international festivals and up-close for goats with big horns. He has written, recorded, and released over a dozen albums of his compositions and teaches his full-blooded, signature style to the curious and dedicated around the world. He is a three-time graduate of Jacobs School of Music (BM Classical Clarinet ’97, BS Audio Recording ’97, MM Jazz Studies ’99) and has received multiple awards, grants and commissions. Beginning with gospel arrangements in 1996, Boots initiated the bass clarinet quartet as a viable, robust chamber music modality, and has created substantial new composition catalogs for both bass clarinet and shakuhachi. He spent nine years as a progressive rock electric bass clarinetist and bandleader in Chicago and San Francisco, then began exploring primeval nature as a core influence. He started studying shakuhachi in 2001 with Michael Chikuzen Gould, from whom he earned the name Shinzen 深禅 in 2012, a Shihan in 2013 and a Dai Shihan in 2022. From 2016 onward, Boots has played only jinashi shakuhachi with an emphasis on big bamboo (Taimu) and original nature blues. He is the founder of Black Earth Shakuhachi School, and the leader/composer of the Wood Prophets, the world’s first bass shakuhachi group. He lives in Pennsylvania.
