In Search of The Light...

So, I got caught up in my ranting that I forgot the other reason I was posting...sorry. This semester I am playing the tuba more than the past 2 years combined! Our studio recital is this coming Tuesday and I'm all over the program, lol. I am playing a solo, Nocturne, which is going to be awesome if I may say so. My sound has changed so much since I first came here, and it makes me happy. That and me and Tharp are the powerhouse of tuba/euph. :D. Oh, and me having the biggest tuba helps. Speaking of Tharp, me and him are doing a duet also, The Wonderland Duets, just for you Chris. And I have to say they are going great, yay atonal music! And then the program is closing with our quartet, which is comprised of Josh Mallory, Mark Webster (who's from NKU), Josh Tharp, and me...with our powers combined we are the Mystic Cat Quartet! That's right, we are all brothers, Mark pledged at NKU last fall, in-fact I was at his ritual, kind of creepy ain't' it? But we are playing 3 songs at the end...we have now become the top quartet. LB's quartet was top, but after our first gig Dr. Baker decided to take Matt Kimmons out of the group, we don't really know why, but we believe it's because Matt is changing majors and is going to leave Morehead, but who knows. So, Dr. B put Marc Najjar in his place, and then James Hay dropped out of school, so David Brock another freshman was moved up. Now both are great players, but Marc is still learning CC tuba, and he is playing 1st tuba parts in ensemble and 2nd in quartet's. So now our quartet is the one who has to pull all the slack, which is cool in away but doing it all alone stinks. So hopefully that recital will go great, and then Thursday is our 00-tubafest which will be hilarious most likely. And then this past Thursday was Octoberfest at the One-on-One with us playing...wow that was the most rowdy performance I've ever been in or seen! Well, I really need to go to bed, take it easy!
