‘Music on Campus’
Homecoming Block Party
Oct. 22, 2011—This week is Homecoming for Vanderbilt, so there have been a bunch of fun activities going on, like the Block Party at Kensington Place last night!
Home for the Weekend: Lotus Festival
Oct. 5, 2011—This weekend marked my first and only trip back home (the wonderful Bloomington, IN) until the end of the semester. And what a great weekend it was: international music, dancing, and home-cooked meals! Oh my!
Rites of Spring
Apr. 18, 2011—This past weekend was Rites of Spring. “What is Rites of Spring?” you may ask. Only the biggest, funnest (look it up, it’s in the dictionary now) concert held at Vanderbilt each year. It lasts for two days and features multiple artists of different genres.
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.

There were parts where a few singers were pitchy, or...
Scrambling before the year ends…
Apr. 28, 2010—The year winds down for the Melodores. NOT. After a crazy successful spring concert last week, we look ahead…to the very near future. NBC’s “Sing Off” auditions are imminently approaching and we are getting ready for them. We are in the process of trying to coordinate everybody from the group to come back to Nashville...
Post-Concert update on the Melodores
Apr. 23, 2010—This was the big week for the Melodores. We had rehearsal every day leading up to our concert (which was yesterday). Hours and hours of practice finally paid off during our concert, entitled “The Meloship of the Ring.” Many asked if our concert had anything to do with Lord of the Rings and it really...
March Madness – On and Off Campus
Mar. 24, 2010—Off campus – the week in review: Everyone’s bracket has been completely destroyed. Who would have called some of these upsets? Vanderbilt basketball… oh well. All is not lost. Yea we lost our chance at playing Kentucky and finally handing their rear ends to them, but in talking with the team last night at Sigma...
