Segue

A segue ⁱ/ˈsɛɡweɪ/ (Italian pronunciation: [ˈseːɡwe]) is a smooth transition from one topic or section to the next.

The term is derived from Italian segue, "follows".

In music

In music, segue is a direction to the performer. It means continue (the next section) without a pause. The term attacca is used synonymously.

For written music it implies a transition from one section to the next without any break. In improvisation, it is often used for transitions created as a part of the performance, leading from one section to another.

In live performance, a segue can occur during a jam session, where the improvisation of the end of one song progresses into a new song. Segues can even occur between groups of musicians during live performance. For example, as one band finishes its set, members of the following act replace members of the first band one by one, until a complete band swap occurs.

In recorded music, a segue is a seamless transition between one song and another. The effect is often achieved through beatmatching, especially on dance and disco recordings, or through arrangements that create the effect of a musical suite, a classical style also used in many progressive rock recordings. The songs may further contain a lyrical connection or overall theme as well.

Segue (band)

Segue is a band composed of mostly musicians from Berklee College of Music, run by Ryan Garrett Greenfield; Indie/Jazz/Rock/Pop.

Segue has a rival band: Segue (pronounced SEG-way) is a San Francisco Bay Area-based rock band. Formed in January 1994, in San Rafael, California, Segue blends rock ‘n’ roll with blues, pop, country and funk. They have adopted the sounds of artists such as The Black Keys, R.L. Burnside, The Mother Hips, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Black Crowes, and others.

The band’s debut album Segue was released on Trip ‘n Spin Recordings in 1998. The single “Move On” was featured on San Francisco radio station 104.5 FM – KFOG.

The second album Escape Without Injury was released on Seguesounds Records in August 2002. The single “Hot Tonight” is featured in the Second Set Media film Ripple Effect, released in 2001. The film contains footage of the best pro surfers in the world competing at the Quiksilver Pro Surf Contest in Tahiti. The song is played during the film’s final and most climactic pipeline scene.

Council

A council is a group of people who come together to consult, deliberate, or make decisions. A council may function as a legislature, especially at a town, city or county level, but most legislative bodies at the state or national level are not considered councils. At such levels, there may be no separate executive branch, and the council may effectively represent the entire government. A board of directors might also be denoted as a council. A committee might also be denoted as a council, though a committee is generally a subordinate body composed of members of a larger body, while a council may not be. Because many schools have a student council, the council is the form of governance with which many people are likely to have their first experience as electors or participants.

A member of a council may be referred to as a councillor, or by the gender-specific titles of councilman and councilwoman.

In politics

Notable examples of types of councils encountered in politics include:

Local councils of the Boy Scouts of America

The program of the Boy Scouts of America is administered through 273 local councils, with each council covering a geographic area that may vary from a single city to an entire state. Each council receives an annual charter from the National Council and is usually incorporated as a charitable organization. Most councils are administratively divided into districts that directly serve Scout units.

Councils fall into one of four regions: Western, Central, Southern, and Northeast. Each region is then subdivided into areas. The total number of councils depends on how they are counted:

Organization

The council level organization is similar to that of the National Council. Councils are headed by a collective of three people known as the 'Key 3'. The Key 3 consists of the Scout executive, a paid employee who administers a staff of professional Scouters; a council president, a volunteer, serves as the chairman of a volunteer board of directors; and a council commissioner, also a volunteer, coordinates the efforts of trained volunteers who provide direct service to the units (Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, etc.).
