I just got back from the gig that I was a part of in San Francisco tonight. It was a pretty awesome experience, I must say. I completely enjoyed myself throughout the duration of the time, nothing was to be worried about, and it was just all together something I'm very thankful I could be a part of.

The afternoon started off with Lucas, Taiki, and ( Read more... )

Today had a few significant highs, and a few significant lows. The highs included sounding awesome at the mini-tour today with the marching band; the lows included feeling lousy at rehearsal today and dissatisfied with my performing. Nonetheless, it's proved positive overall.

The first thing that I heard was recorded on 6-13-2005; it was my jazz sight reading class. That was such a good summer 2005 memory, you have no idea. Just being in the environment of college/ ( Read more... )

Right now, I'm very content with the how the day has ended up. For the most part, I found it to be a great day with lots of different activities and things to do. I have a better understanding of how I'm going to go about doing certain things in the immediate future, and things are slowly progressing on the scale to more maturity, to say the least ( Read more... )

Here I am in the St. Paul Public Library in--well, you guessed it--St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm logged into one of their many web browsing computers just because I don't really have an obligation to meet up with the rest of the gang any time soon. I just finished seeing the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra in the Ordway Center, downtown St. Paul. It was ( Read more... )
