“That screening was the first time the entire band watched the film together,” Kemp says. “It was uncomfortable viewing at times.”. That’s understandable. “Soul Boys” is anything but a glossy, sanitized highlight reel of a band’s career. Director George Hencken’s film covers the entire career arc, celebrating Spandau Ballet’s many accomplishments — from topping the U.K. charts to performing at Live Aid — while exposing the egos and issues that led to the band’s original demise. The story feels real — and the players seem very human — which is likely why this is the rare rock doc that appeals to viewers outside of the fan base.

And for more than 30 years, The Banjo Man — aka Stacy Samuels — has been making his way through the stands, playing his banjo and wearing a propeller beanie. The players have their own eccentric rituals. The congratulation handshakes they give each other get more involved and lengthy as the season progresses. After a game is won in walk-off style, a player is being interviewed on television can expect to get a whipped cream pie in the face. Given some of the other recent headlines, Oakland can definitely use the good news and good feelings engendered by the A’s success.

At daybreak on the merged tribe, Dara, Neal shows Aubry an infection on his ballet jewelry set, ballet necklace set, ballet bracelet set, dance jewelry, recital gift, dance recital, dance bracelet, kids j knee (foreshadowing?) and Delusional Deb walks up to Tai, says she likes him and wants to invite him into the Brain’s alliance, Tai cautiously says, uh, OK, and Delusional Deb announces that she has him, She then asks Nick if he’s in, and he says yes, She says they have Michelle, too, but Neal whispers to Aubry that there’s no way Michele is in on it, Michele, however, doesn’t really care for Brawn, so she’s not against joining up with Brains, The Brainiacs, meanwhile, are not very happy with Delusional Deb, Nick tells Aubry that he really can’t stand Deb, and Aubry can’t believe Deb is acting like she is running everything..

“I never thought we wouldn’t make it,” says Andrew Bales, the orchestra’s founder and president, as well as its public face. It is Bales who steps onstage before every performance to greet the audience and, with input from musicians’ committees and guest conductors, selects and shapes programming. It is also Bales who decided nearly a decade ago that this orchestra would operate without a music director. Typically, an orchestra is built around such a director — a steady presence on and off the podium, crafting the group’s musical personality and direction. Examples abound in the Bay Area: Joana Carneiro with the Berkeley Symphony, Michael Morgan with the Oakland-East Bay Symphony, and, of course, Michael Tilson Thomas with the San Francisco Symphony.
