Successful Jazz Concert! (I think...)
Friday night went so well. I was tired though. Really tired... I'll list the songs we played and the soloists:
1) You Too - Victor C. on Alto Sax
Bryant E. on Vibes
Doug O. on Piano
2) Cherry Point
3) A Night in Tunisia - Doug O. on Piano
Robert D. on Alto Sax
Mike S. on Trumpet
4) St. James Infirmary - Mike S. on Trumpet
Richard S. on Tenor Sax
Victor C. on Alto Sax
5) She's Gone Away - Mike R. on Trombone
6) Such Sweet Thunder - Doug O. on Piano
7) Syeeda's Song Flute - Mark L. on Alto Sax
Me on Trumpet (Yay! But I could do better...)
8) Channel One Suite - Mark S. on Drums
Richard S. on Tenor Sax (Yay for Super Mario Cadenza!)
Victor C. on Alto Sax
"Little" Joey on Bari Sax
Tina T. on Bass Trombone
I give my thanks to "Big" Pat, who kept our band alive for the past few months, Bryant for "giving me a solo" on this concert, and Rich, who player Super Mario 2 as his cadenza. THAT WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME (and unexpected too)! After playing, we decided to go and hang in Appleby's (Yes, Appleby. Inside Chess, now Jazz Band joke!) It was kind of hilarious to hear our group called:
Waiter: "Angel, party of 3."
(20 Mins. later) "Harry, party of 5."
(Another 20 mins.) "Charles, party of 2."
(5 Mins.) "Ali, party of, wow, 14."
(30 mins. Later) "Huh? Jazz Band?!, party of 27!?!"
Jazz Band: *Laughs and rushes in*.
Yup. We occupied a nice part of the place. After eating, we kinda got drunk and Dutton finally drove us home. What a night it was. Yesterday, I was forced by family (Mostly Mommy.) to go attend some Bingo. It wasn't that bad. Played "Wingo" with Kristina and others. Grr... I never realized how much I hate Bingo. I have added it to the list that brings out the worst in people, such as Uno, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. It was kinda boring waiting for the raffle, so Kristina and I attempted to reach banners and wander in total darkness. I was a little afraid of the dark though. The Heartless can get you, you know. After I went home, I played more Devil May Cry 3. I can never get enough of that game. I can still feel the pains of the first and second one. This weekend turned out pretty good.
