Marine Band

Hey Guys.
Long time no post...
there has been heaps of stuff happening

Highlights are:
  • Had about 4 exams
  • Had about 15 quizzes
  • Had my first box band games (vs Iowa-Win, vs Minnesota-Lost)
  • Lost my voice for yelling too much
  • Had a whole weekend to organise the shit that I had been leaving behind
  • Studying, studying and studying
  • French crepes are similar to the crepes Matt makes
  • Had a rotten banana and got a massive headache
  • Did some kayaking/canoing

That's about it. hehe exciting stuff.

But anyway, tonight I went and saw the "president's own" United States Marine Band. It does not play underwater (thanks dane). But it is thought to be one of the best concert band in the state. Sure was! it was fantastic. They played from the songs from the army,navy and air force to the summon the heroes. That was awesome. I was seriously close to tears because it was so fantastic. One of the things I like about concert bands is that they play march!!! So good! makes you wanna walk around for no reason :) that was a worthwhile. especially as it was free :)

One of the piece they played had a singer in it. she had a fantastic voice. she kinda reminded me of Emily someone from phantom. like opera but not too much. I liked it.

This weekend, I am going to Chicago! I am so excited :) it will be so much fun and relaxing. Going away from Lafayette is going to be cool :)

Guys in Melbourne, have fun at the nursing ball and the bendigo med ball.

oh that sort of marine, you didn't explain to me what it actually was.

What's the plan once you get to chicago? Or none yet, just good to get away?

Work hard, stay safe. Speak soon

Hey Kumi!!!

I miss you!!!! The nursing ball last night was so much fun! It was a pity you couldn't have flown in for the night. It sounds like you're super busy. I hope you're enjoying it all!!! Enjoy chicago... maybe you'll see Oprah there! xoxo
