Sounding The Chord Still Images
This documentary project is not only producing moving images for you to investigate and enjoy, but we also have plenty of still images with captions and pertinent information for you to explore. We've separated sets of pictures into related galleries below. As we interview each subject and find out about people that we plan on interviewing, we'll post pictures here. This will also be an archive for many images from University City's past and present. We'll also post stills from past of the University City schools and events that were held there. And finally, when we have events to support this research and project, we'll make galleries that show pictures as well. So, like most of the rest of this entire site, this is a living, breathing document.
The total number of pictures currently in the galleries is to the right of the gallery title. As the project continues to grow, we will be taking and uploading even more still images. So checking back here frequently for new galleries and pictures will give you new insights into the project.

Future Interviewees for Sounding The Chord (49)

On The Set/Behind The Scenes (29)
Throughout the course of preparing the documentary project, there will be moments where pictures or moving images will be taken that don't necessarily fit the other categories, but we think should be shown. They could be from the shoots or random events that pop up involving U. City folks. We'll put those pics here. -

UC in NYC Before DC Event Pictures (53)
These are pictures from an event organized in Brooklyn, New York by director Rod Milam on January 18, 2009 (two days before the inauguration of Barack Obama). The goal was to attempt the largest gathering of U. City people outside of the St. Louis area ever while having some great U. City musicians play for the group. The event was held in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at Huckleberry Bar, owned by U. Citian Stephanie Schneider. More than 25 U. City people (in addition to some of their significant others) showed up on a very cold and snowy night. UCHS graduates from classes ranging from 1979 to 2002 came out from 6 different states (as far away as Virginia and Vermont). Many had never met each other before, but a great time was had. The success of this event was a key inspiration to start this documentary project only 2 years later. Here is a link to a video that was made to promote the event: http://www.milamnyc.com/ucdoc/2011/1/24/welcome-to-the-u-city-musicians-documentary-blog.html
