I got to sleep in today because I don't have class on Friday besides Symphonic Band, everything else is Monday, Wednesday or Tuesday, Thursday. To top off my normal sleeping in, we didn't have rehearsal today because our director is out of town. However, on Wednesday we did receive a Stravinsky piece for our next concert. It has six freakin ( Read more... )

Its been along week for a lot of people down here this week and I am definitely one of them. The symphonic band concert went fairly well on Wednesday night. We screwed up a little bit but it wasn't terribly bad or anything. My mom flew down here for the concert, which I thought was very a nice of her. She came to the Kappa reception after the ( Read more... )

The title pretty much says it all. I survived Valentine's Day. Ate pizza with Miki, Antonio, and Joe for dinner. Not too much sappiness to endure I guess. I am sure I would feel much different about the holiday if I wasn't single but I am. Events and circumstances have made this so for the meantime. Sometimes it feels like God and the world ( Read more... )

This week went a little bit better than last. I have fought through my cold, which compared to what some other people around here have been getting wasn't too bad at all. The music for symphonic band is coming together nicely. Our concert is on Wednesday and I think that they we will do quite well. Classes are keeping me busy with plenty of ( Read more... )

Its just been a bad week, thats the only way to put it. I have had a pretty nasty head cold all week, homework is piling up, yikes! I have to write a 4 page paper tonight on the composers whose music we are performing in Symphonic Band. Our concert is a week from Wednesday! I don't understand the homework in my economics of regulation class, I ( Read more... )

This week has been busy, so it has gone by really fast. I just have symphonic band left today. We have a playing test for our director next week, so I am really going to need to practice for that! I am looking to a fun and productive weekend. My economics of regulation class is a little frustrating because I found out I did the homework that ( Read more... )

Well, classes are going to keep me busy this semester that's for sure. Once basketball season is over, that will free up some time though. We have rehearsal for the basketball band on Thursday and our next game is on Saturday. Speaking of our men's basketball team, they stink! 25 in a row losing streak in conference games away from home. Two ( Read more... )

Classes started on Tuesday and have been going well so far. It definitely looks like I will be quite busy with homework this semester. Although I don't like getting up at 7:30, but hey its better than high school when you had to get up at 6. We had our first symphonic band rehearsal yesterday. It will take some practicing but I think I will do ( Read more... )

I will start with the Kappa retreat. That was Monday through Wednesday up in the northern mountains of New Mexico. It was a lot of fun and I think we really bonded as a chapter. We stayed at a Hostel, which I guess means a house/hotel. I had never heard of such a thing, but it suited our needs well enough I guess. Tuesday was the most fun, as ( Read more... )
