Eternal Addiction or Love Poem No. 2

The Internal Externalized or Love Poem No. 3 [Typecast/Poem]

IMEA Audition Nervousness...

Today were IMEA (Illinois Music Educators' Association) District VII auditions. I play clarinet, and was anxiously waiting for my turn to audition. While in the warm-up room, I wrote a little poem on the whiteboard.


Here we sit
In nerve-wracking anticipation
Hoping, at its end, for 
Glory and congratulation
But...that is far too far
Into the future to see
Currently, I merely seek
Just ONE GOOD REED!

Marching Band!

Yep, well I'm still on a break (sort of) but in the meantime I'd like to show you a vid of our marching band here at Niles West. We're an all voluntary group with 40 winds--a small band.

Here's a video of our performance at the St. Rita Marching Band Competition, where we took first in our division.

Enjoy! The music is from Cirque du Soleil.

Semi hiatus

Hi readers,
Well I knew I would have to do this
sometime and that time has come. I am now officially succumbing to the fact that I simply do not have time right now to post meaningful content on this blog, so I'm taking a little break.

I'll probably be back in a month or so, with a couple mini posts in the middle, should I find an idle moment.

Goodbye for now.
