Super Jazz Ensemble!

January 31 2006

So today the faculty jazz ensemble from Cumberland Univserity came and played for us. They were so cool! You could tell the drummer and the sax guy were jazz musicians. The drummer had dreadlocks (sp?) and he would randomly yell Yeah, that's hot! during the music, it was funny. The sax player had a shaved head with a really long goatie, like 4 inches, I was jealous. He played the alto and tenor saxes at the same time, it was really cool. His quote was "save a gig for jazz" for the iPod owners, lol. It was interesting listening to them talk about what influenced them.


Prof. Mueller from UM called today because he wants to bring the brass quintet up from Memphis and play for us. That's exciting...lesson with Dan (if there is time)!


I went with Maegan after school to look for a bird. It was fun, she's funny. Her dog is dumb.


I talked with Brad (this short, half-Jewish clarinet player from SCMI last summer) today. He's a fun dude. We talked about music and how short guys who don't tan were the hottest things ever (because we're both short and don't tan well). Ha. It's kinda not fun that we didn't hang out while we were there, we just kinda looked at each other all the time, lol.


Do you like the music on my blog (and profile for myspace users)?


I'm job shadowing Mr. Kinney on Thursday, it will be fun. I get to dress up and feel pretty in the clothes I baught last week. I also get another lesson with Radu (that's right, two in a row!) to make the 3rd movement sound better. I'm nervous about my audition Saturday, but not really. Mr. Rhody told Prof. Mueller that I was weird, lol.


Right now I'm watching Ellen and she's too funny. I think she's prank calling people right now, it's funny. I kinda want to call the band directors one day and pretend I'm the IRS or something, lol. That would be funny. I should roll the office one day...but then I'd have to clean it up. Just kidding.
