All is Good in the Melodores’ Hood
Dec. 7, 2010—Just got back from a Melodores gig at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts Center. We were a hit! We were contacted to sing for a group of adults that are part of a continuing education program through Vanderbilt University. Many of the attendees were Vanderbilt grads, others were even current professors. They really...
Cages or Wings, Presented by the Original Cast
Dec. 6, 2010—This past weekend, I attended a performance of Cages or Wings, a musical by the Broadway Revue Troupe, the Original Cast. I was blown away by the show! I’ve always enjoyed theatre, but considering I didn’t even know what a “revue troupe” was until Friday, the perfomance definitely exceeded my expectations.
1st Semester Capstone Choir Concert and After Party
Dec. 5, 2010—Tonight, the Vanderbilt Choir had our winter concert at the Richland Place retirement center. We performed a brief 30 minute set, consisting of everything from small collaborations with a singer and a couple instrumentals to full choral pieces with 30 singers. Also, because a couple of students in choir are doing the MA5 program through...
First Snow!
Dec. 5, 2010—This morning I was woken up by girls running up and down the hall screaming excitedly. Sunday mornings on campus are usually quiet and slow. I hopped out of bed because I didn’t want to miss anything. It was well worth it because it was SNOWING! The first snow of the season is kind of...
Mega Stress Fest? Heck Yes!
Dec. 1, 2010—A quick check-in… So the first semester has turned the corner and is imminently approaching its end. That means we are on the brink of… exam time. Man, I could really use a massage this Friday. I feel like it’ll loosen me up and relax me before embarking on the last week of school that...
I Won a Drawing…Finally!
Nov. 21, 2010—Here’s another example of the cool giveaways that Vanderbilt does from time to time. The other day I received an email from the Vanderbilt ITS department alerting us of the new opportunity to switch our email client from Gmail to Outlook Live for more storage etc. All we had to do was switch our email...
My 18 Thanksgivings
Nov. 18, 2010—Woah it got cold fast in Nashville! It was 75 last week, and now I’m in a sweater and boots! The Holiday season is among us… It is also the season of eating, eating a lot! During this past week I think I have had, or at least had the opportunity to have about 18...
You Don’t Have to “Go Out” To Have a Good Time on the Weekends
Nov. 14, 2010—I was able to have an awesome time in the comfort of my own dorm room last night. Just a few months ago, I purchased and set up a small studio rig in my dorm room because of a new found hobby of recording music. The screenshot above shows a mix that I spend the...
Magical Opera at Vanderbilt!
Nov. 13, 2010—Last night was opening night for the Blair School of Music’s performance of Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor in Ingram Hall. Good portions of both the voice department and orchestra were involved with making the show the truly spectacular experience that it was; not to mention the brilliance of conductor Robin Fountain and director...
A Little Taste of Heaven…Vanderbilt Dining?
Nov. 11, 2010—Right now I am nommin’ on Vanderbilt Dining’s Famous “Brookie.” It is exactly what it sounds like: a delicious combination between a moist brownie and chewy cookie. Brookies are reason enough to come to Vanderbilt. If you are one of those weighing your options between schools as of right now, put this down on your...
