The Big Band Era: BEDSY Day 140 (Thur. Apr. 19th, 2012)

I'm watching The Big Bang Theory. I'm convinced Kuuthrapali is gay.

On another note...It's been a really long week. I've been mostly preparing for Saturday. Saturday is our big fundraiser for band, our Big Band Dance. The jazz bands play for a few hours and we have a silent auction to raise money for trips and other things (instrument repairs, etc.). We play for a few hours, but we have to set up in our school's commons, and that usually takes a few hours. Basically, it's a really long day. I'm excited about getting to play with the jazz groups, though. We get to play old 30's/40's jazz music from Glenn Miller and people like that. (If you don't know who Glenn Miller is, then shame on you...also go look up "In the Mood"...probably one of the most noticeable jazz tunes out there). But it's also my last BBD. I've done three of these already in the past few years. After that, only one more jazz concert and our parades and our final, three-hour concert at the end of May (seriously. It's a marathon). And, then...it's all over. In some ways, the end can't come soon enough, but in other ways...I wish it wouldn't.

Days 'til graduation: 35
