‘concert’
Melo Cyrus
Dec. 6, 2013—Perhaps even more daunting than the prospect of imminent papers and finals was The Melodores‘ annual winter concert. The couple of weeks leading up to (even Thanksgiving break, to an extent) had been rather taxing, to be honest, and juggling rehearsals and classes was becoming increasingly difficult. I was also, however, incredibly excited. Our practices...
A Rocking Sunday in Nashville
Nov. 14, 2013—Last Sunday night, I spent a couple of hours at a bar in downtown Nashville, chatting with musicians and making full use of my eardrums. Later I found myself practically stranded across town from campus. But this proved to be a memorable adventure, all in the name of taking advantage of being in Nashville.
Exit/In Produces Ridiculous Dance Moves
Oct. 29, 2013—I like music. I mean, I really like music. Especially live music. And there's no better place for the live music-loving Vanderbilt student than Exit/In.
The Music (Wo)man
Oct. 26, 2013—After the fun and excitement that was Commodore Quake, I was a little bummed out thinking that my music-related activities would be over for a while, but BOY was I wrong! In the last month alone I’ve been to three shows, gotten two backstage passes, interviewed four different artists, and have had tons of stuff...
An ExTAYLORdinary Night
Sep. 24, 2013—Get it? Extraordinary+Taylor? I’m not very creative. But it’s ok. Anyways, last week I talked about how I WON tickets through the Vanderbilt ResEd’s Commodore Cruise program. Well, despite an Anatomy Exam the next morning, I went to Taylor Swift and had an extraordinary experience. Although the average age of everyone at the concert was...
Taylor Swift Comes to Nashville
Sep. 22, 2013—I had been waiting for last night to happen for over 5 months. Why?! Because I had pit tickets to Taylor Swift's last concert for her US Red tour! It was an incredible night, filled with plenty of red, glitter, and excitement.
Coincidence… or Fate?
Sep. 12, 2013—Something wonderful has happened. Something... magical.
Adios Seniors
Apr. 26, 2013—The end of the semester with Victory is always a bittersweet experience. We get to perform our concert, record our newest CD, and have an end-of-the-semester party. The bad part? We have to say goodbye to our seniors. :(
I love the contrasts Rites of Spring brings
Apr. 21, 2013—This weekend was tons of fun, thanks to Rites of Spring :) I loved going last year as a freshman and staying the entire time, but I think I enjoyed popping in and out more this spring. The entire atmosphere of the event is pretty relaxed, like your typical music festival—the bands perform enthusiastically, people bring coolers and sit on picnic blankets, and there are several food trucks and tables where people can buy T-shirts, drinks, or food...
