American Music Recital
Apr. 11, 2011—As you may have noticed before, I go to a lot of Blair concerts. I’m really not that cultured in the arts, it’s just that my roommate and one of my best friends are in Blair, so I’ve met a bunch of cool people from there or Spirit of Gold (the marching band).
ICCA and Lessons Learned
Mar. 20, 2011—This weekend, the Melodores traveled to the University of South Carolina to compete in the Semifinal round of ICCA. Fellow Melodore Seth Johnson wrote an article about the previous quarterfinal round at UGA, but I thought I’d beat him to the punch by posting tonight.
Let’s catch up!
Mar. 18, 2011—As I’ve been thrown right back into school after spring break, I’ve neglected to share a lot of pre-spring break events here! Here are a few things I went to that were awesome–and keep an eye out for my upcoming post on the mission trip I went on over Spring Break!
Class helped me meet a celebrity…
Mar. 10, 2011—Piggybacking off of what fellow blogger Lindsey Rothrock talked about in her post “Homework: Go to a Concert”, I have been in three music classes (American Music, African Music, and Blues) where I have had to attend concerts and write small papers on them. These active assignments encourage students to explore Nashville for what it...
Spring Awakening
Feb. 27, 2011—This past weekend, my favorite musical was in town: Spring Awakening. Being the devoted fan I am, I saw it twice in less than 24 hours. I know that sounds a little crazy/stalker-like, so let me explain.
Homework: Go to a Concert
Feb. 23, 2011—I am taking an awesome class this semester! History of Rock Music. Not only is it really fun and interesting but it also counts as part of my Liberal Arts requirements. In class we talk about specific artists ranging from the 1950s to current times including Little Richard, Elvis, Otis Redding, Grateful Dead, Lynard Skynard,...
Melodores at TPAC!
Feb. 17, 2011—After a rough start to my morning, (I slept through my alarm and missed a test…guess there’s a first time for everything), things started to shape up. I got in touch with my professor and he was more than happy to let me come in a make it up! I woke up and realized that...
Melodores District Champions!
Feb. 8, 2011—This past weekend, the Melodores traveled to the University of Georgia to compete at the International Championship of Collegiate Acapella Quarterfinals. The results: 1st Place! Where to start? We had so much fun driving down together, getting to know everyone on a personal level. It’s always great to let loose and socialize with the guys,...
Oh, this has gotta be the good life/
Feb. 1, 2011—I have 2 jobs and I’m taking 18hrs worth of classes this semester, so to say that I may feel a little stressed at times would be an understatement. Whenever someone asks me a question that causes me to yield this information I get the “oh-my-gosh-how-are-you-still-alive?!” gasp, the “I’m-in-the-same-boat-hang-in-there” empathetic shoulder pat, and, my favorite,...
Black And Gold
Jan. 26, 2011—Vanderbilt's got a new anthem. First-year student (and Vanderbilt Melodore) Nick Wells remixed and remade the recent Whiz Kalifa hit "Black and Yellow" into what I predict will be a Vandy classic: "Black and Gold."
