Santa Clara Vanguard. Phantom Regiment. Blue Devils. Easily one of the best shows of my life. As important as marching band was to me in high school, I rarely think it it now. These rare flashes, however, come with large bouts of nostalgia. On one of those a few weeks ago, I fired up footage […]
I think my heart skipped a beat when I found out that the Marine Band has recording you can download off of their site: http://www.marineband.usmc.mil/audio_resources/index.htmApparently I’m a bigger band nerd than I thought.
Okay, I lie about the 2nd part. I don’t have a life, but if I did, I’d be working on it.So pretty much immediately after I got back from Austin, I began summer band, which was kind of bad since my procrastination has created backup in the other stuff I need to do, but I […]
I could say how it feels like only yesterday that I was arriving at New Marcher’s Fundamentals, and how the last 3 years have been a breeze. But that’s been pretty much a lie. To say that high school so far has been that little is giving a lot so little credit. A lot of […]
So the other day, during band, we were doing a recording session for graduation. If you ‘member, we recorded P&C last year because the Merrell Center wasn’t going to hold an orchestra as well. This year, they decided that P&C is much too boring to play in and out, so on the way out, they […]
I propose, that in honor of randomness, that we make this Thursday “Speak in Song Day”. During this day, all day, whenever you have something to say, you have to say it in song. Regardless of whether you can sing or not, everything must have a beat and a melody to it. It’s likely that […]
Life has been interesting as of late. This being jr year, I feel obligated to say something about the workload, and in the end, all I can say is that it’s a lot more pressure than actual work. And in the midst of the insanity, there’s always time to relax. And TV and video games […]
So that was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done. I hate to recount events like what shall follow, but it seems to be the easiest, most inclusive way to do it. Before I even get into the actual events, a humongous hugs and thanks to my group for being a lot of […]
Olympics, CS, Solo So I’ve been a bit too busy to write, which basically means I was addictively watching the Olympics these past 2 weeks. Sure, a lot of the events aren’t worth watching, but there’s stuff to do in the breaks. I have other concerns, however. I’m sure enough of my manhood that I […]
Calm, you say? Well, I’m not planning on watching the Superbowl this year: don’t care much for the teams, and I can just watch the commercials on the internet. Besides, it’ll feel good to avoid it.Yesterday was pretty awesome for waking up at 530 to go to a Science competition. Even though I hadn’t planned […]
