‘Music’
Guest Blog: Blair Salon Series
May. 1, 2013—At least once a month, Dean Wisclo, the Dean of the Commons who literally lives on the Commons, hosts "Dinner at the Dean's Residence." My friend Matt Lammers, a violinist, thought, why not bring Blair to the Commons? Here's his take on founding an initiative called the "Blair Salon Series":
Guest Blog: I Hear Music in the Wind
May. 1, 2013—“I hear music in the wind” is the opening line of a cliché choir song I sang in middle school. Despite the cheesiness of it, I always thought it was a beautiful idea—I never imagined it would become my reality. Walk down Broadway on any night of the week and you will hear live music...
Rites done Right
Apr. 21, 2013—Anyone at or around Vanderbilt this time of year can tell when it’s the weekend of Rites of Spring. The sky gets a little clearer, the music gets a little louder, and the good times get even better, which, at a school as fun as Vanderbilt, is a tall order. It being my first Rites...
Art from the heart…
Apr. 18, 2013—This weekend, with my wonderful fellow pre-nursing society members, I volunteered at Gilda’s Club. Gilda’s Club is a cancer support society that offers families and friends, who have been affected by cancer, a safe haven to build relationships and recieve social support. We helped them set up for their art award ceremony. It was for...
The Write Stuff
Apr. 15, 2013—Before I admit that this super creative title was actually stolen from the company that made school supply packs for my elementary school, I have to apologize for not getting anything up here in a while. I’ve been SUPER busy with a whole bunch of things, including, but not limited to: doing my Econ homework,...
Breathe!
Mar. 27, 2013—Yesterday I was fortunate enough to participate in Breathe--Sigma Phi Lambda's night of prayer and praise. Victory has been invited to perform there since I was a freshman, mostly because we share several members. However, last night's event was so much more extensive than any night of prayer and praise I have ever attended. It was a campus-wide inter-denomination praise event, and I think it really encapsulated the interfaith (or in this case, interdenominational) nature of Vanderbilt's campus...
It’s Beginning to Look a LOT Like Spring Time!
Mar. 16, 2013—I cannot WAIT to tell you all about my Spring Break, but I am still waiting on a few pictures so just expect it in the near future. Until then, let me just say that it is DEFINITELY beginning to look a lot like spring time here at Vanderbilt!
What I’m Looking Forward To
Mar. 12, 2013—Well, spring break is over, and it’s time to finish the last few weeks of classes before summer vacation. While the end of the semester is just around the corner, there is still so much to do at Vanderbilt and in Nashville. Here are a few things that I am looking forward to in the next couple of weeks:
Bringing the Music to Music City
Mar. 11, 2013—With a few tricks up my sleeve, I managed to score the gig of a lifetime for my next three years at Vandy.
Reflections and Prospects (Spring 2013)
Mar. 4, 2013—There’s something exquisitely comforting about a sitting room with a grand piano dominating one side and a heap of quintessential American snacks in the center, ringed by a ragtag bunch of musicians and one Lebanese kid. This is the second night I spend in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and while cheese puffs, Chex Mix, and Ale81...
