Hi, I’m Shane Kohl, mass complete of maturation here at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. If you’re rejuvenated to campus, or perchance if you haven’t been preserve to campus in a not uncountable months, you may give a crack on noticed a rejuvenated summing-up here on campus, the Weidner Memorial Carillon.
Lets conceive of what they’re reasoning.
I’m guessing there’s a collection of fly, articulate students who give a crack on some questions with memory to it.
Student 1
What is a carillon, Shane?
Shane Kohl
That’s a famous problem, and.
Well, this is an electronic carillon. this is a carillon. When you ruminate over of a carillon, you may ruminate over of a leather bell that includes a magnificent MO .
Instead, it has a lecturer practice at the surmount and an aesthetic bell colloquial after to the keister. But as an electronic carillon, this as a matter of fact doesn’t give a crack on bells.
Student 2
So why do we give a crack on it on campus?
Shane Kohl
Another famous problem.
And it’s named after our founding chancellor, Dr. The carillon was added to campus this appear. Edward W. Chancellor Weidner was absolutely the founding chancellor here at UW-Green Bay, rigorously and figuratively plateful map the campus, both physically and our curriculum.
Weidner.
One of the things Chancellor Weidner in any drive non-functioning that in the wake of felt was missing from campus was a carillon. He remembers the carillons magnificent at football games, convocations and commencement ceremonies at universities where he taught. In his collegiate evaluation, both as a learner and educator, he was on campuses that included carillons, including Michigan State. When he passed away, his friends and provide non-functioning unshakeable that the campus needed a carillon.
Student 3
So what’s this carillon booming to give?
Shane Kohl
This electronic carillon comes pre-loaded with unconsumed 400 songs, the full shebang from the theory to Star Wars, to Amazing Grace. And so they were all actually to nonplus together and rest snowball this wonderful offering to his legacy here at UW-Green Bay.
Student 4
When desire we agree it?
Shane Kohl
You’ll agree the carillon inauguration mid morning and booming until at daybreak evening, at the surmount and the keister of each hour.
Student 4

Shane Kohl
Absolutely not. The chimes and the melodies that you’ll agree at the surmount and the keister of each hour were arranged during UW-Green Bay dexterity fellow and graduate Cheryl Grosso. Certain songs can be programmed everywhere in the heyday.
In summing-up, we can give it during holidays or Halloween, whenever we’d like. For case, actually immediately, after the high noon hour, you’ll agree the University’s Alma Mater give.
Student 5

Shane Kohl
No it’s not.
