Baltimore's Marching Ravens
NFL's Largest Musical Organization
 Baltimore's Marching Ravens is the NFL's largest musical organization, and filled with tradition. It's a direct descendant of the Baltimore Colts Marching Band, which was founded in 1947 and which stayed together not once, but twice, when the city lost its football team. We profile two of its saxophonists, one brand new and another's who's very seasoned. Baltimore's Marching Ravens have open auditions Wednesday's at 7:30 at the Ravens Training Facility in Owings Mills. Call band president John Ziemann at 410-557-8335 to learn more.

"Evita" at the Hippodrome Theater
"Evita" has come to Baltimore via the Hippodrome Theater now through November 6th. That amounts to 16 performances of the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber Tony award winning pop opera. "Evita" is the epic story of the rise and fall of Eva Peron, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Peron. Eva captivated the working class and charmed a nation. Baltimore will have more than Independence Day to celebrate next July 4th. That's also the scheduled opening of Baltimore's new Entertainment Museum. Comic entrepreneur Steve Geppi will open the 16-thousand square foot museum at Camden Station, next to Oriole Park and it will chronicle American history through pop culture by displaying an array of toys, collectibles, cartoons and other items. Some of the exhibits will include Brownies, Yellow Kid, Mickey Mouse, Superman, Howdy Doody, Batman, The Beatles and Star Warsıand of course a large assortment of comic book memorabilia. We look forward to the grand opening in July 2006. And local arts supporters Sylvia and Eddie Brown are jump starting a long stalled effort to convert Baltimore's historic Bromo Seltzer tower to artists studios. Under a new agreement, the city would sell the building for one dollar to a newly formed company that would transform the 15 story tower into artists studios. The sale would pave the way for construction to begin early next year on the 1-point five million dollar renovation.

Michael Sprouse
Salon Artist
 This week's Salon Art is by Michael Sprouse. This is his first solo show at the Light Street Gallery in Baltimore. Michael Sprouse has garnered nationwide recognition and has established himself as an important fixture on the Mid-Atlantic and National "contemporary-realism" art scene. DCONE Magazine describes Sprouse as "one of the most important young artists" in the Mid-Atlantic who knows "the joy of creating something new and original with canvas, paints and loads of talent". Modeled after the empyrean facial expressions found in the subjects of vintage portrait photography, works by artist Michael Sprouse can be found in private and public collections across the United States, Europe, Canada, and South America. The neo-romanticism of Sprouse's work has been called "hauntingly beautiful" and "mesmerizing" by art critics and collectors around the globe. The exhibition runs through November 26. Light Street Gallery is located at 1448 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland. For more information, call 410-234-0047.
