concerts and juries

hello everyone,

just a short update for you this week. basically i've just had concerts and dress rehearsals out the wazoo. 4 nights last week and 2 this one, followed by juries. it is really hard to stay motivated but i'm just going to have to push myself for the next few weeks. luckily, i love performing.

this is a short vid of my partner and i about a week before the RixStix concert, this number went really well :) i only got my finger jammed on stage and didn't get hit in the face.

These are pictures of my drum line after the concert. I'm acting president this semester, and Randy and i get to run it together. Randy and i wrote the piece we performed this semester and it was a huge hit (i wrote basses he wrote tenors mostly). there's a vid on youtube of it, but it focuses in on the tenors mostly. it's still really cool if you want to see the visuals: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DT0DukkLmjR8&h=0e2c79dd89684a371ca4a140333bf2be

This is a picture of our poster for the semester- i was lucky to be on it :) our percussion groups are awesome

Brahms Requiem- This was a huge event in the music department. This GLORIOUS piece of music hasn't been performed here before, and hundreds of students were involved. it was a fun-filled evening for all of us.

camille (best friend from high school) and I- she did my hair and make up for my b4 the concert

kimsy and me!

we gots our choral faces on :)

Speaking of drums, this is probably the coolest thing i'm doing currently. a band needed a bass line for the concert next week, but with the lack of people, we're improvising and i'm playing all 4 :) soooo much fun

This is a video of a practice session for my solo to be judged this friday. i'm going to be picky and say it's not ready yet, but it anyone wants to catch a glimpse at what i do, here it is. actually i'm not even sure if all of you have seen a marimba :) i love this instrument.

also...i make a two second appearance in this video in the snow building :) if you know anything about solfege you'll appreciate this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kRlssgJEcs
