Pasic was SO FUN….

......sooooo many cymbals that i want....

….. but as soon as pasic got over, it was work time. LOTS of work time. Writing a 53- page paper and a 10-minute speechon top of keeping up with practicing music for the percussion ensemble concert last monday monday and small group concert last Tuesday work time.

But now it’s the short thanksgiving break, and it’s very welcome.

…because as soon as i go back i have a recording session Sunday night, and i have to mix it for the next day, along with a recording from last week. Then, i have to write 3 essays for Wednesday, practice for the Wind Ensemble concert thursday, and prepare to go continue working on the Creeptone’s first CD at the Barbershop Studios next weekend…

My head is about to explode…. and i’m probably gonna get Dean’s “Fire” speech again soon…

only Rowan percussionists know what that is.

Well, time to get cracking then…

PASIC

Posted: November 7, 2011 in Uncategorized

Going to PASIC for the first time this week, and in combination with having Tuesday off for Election Day, that measn that I only have one day of class this week.

Which is Today.

And I’m done. …Well except for Percussion Ensemble, but that doesn’t count, fun stuff i don’t really consider a class.

PASIC’s gonna be awesome!

Anyway, those of you who are finding me through the picture of me playing guitar on the FPA website may wonder why i’m excited about a Percussion Festival. Or some of you might be wondering (and have just found out) what the heck PASIC is.

but anyway, I’m actually a percussionist. Professionally, i am a guitar player at the moment through the Creeptones, but percussion is my main instrument.

“Wait, that’s not a guitar!”

“Yes, this is the instrument i can actually play.”

“Oh. Can you play chopsticks?”

“…no.”

In the words of the Famous Doug Mapp: “I Digress”

Anyway, i’ll put up some pictures from Pasic when i get back.

So… ummm…..yea….
