saturday is chill



i'm soore today from working out and i'm likin it =) i need to work out my pecs hahaha! so when i work out now i'm going to really focus in on the pecs cuz thats what makes you look big. for guys i'm talkin about XD

today was fun. i had to go to school at 6:30 am which wasn't the fun part. it was for esperanza jazz festival. the jazz 2 band sounded fine. they won first in their division. good job! and jazz 1 we had some disturbances in the force as mr. stone said but we did well nontheless. we got 2nd by .3 but who cares about scores when it comes to jazz bands honestly. i'm considering it as a gauge of our progress rather than how we do against other schools. i got to hear some heavy class jazz bands. westlake has an awesome band. they played cut n' run by gordon goodwin which has a crazy lick in the beginning for saxes and they played it and it had a lil bit of clarity issues but its definitely better than what we could do XD.

before awards there was a combo playing which was composed of the fullerton jc faculty. they were AWESOME! they're some serious pros mann. they played so in tune to each other like their ideas and what they do. it would take a while to explain so just ask me what i mean later haha! the alto sax guy was amaazing. actually everybody was in that combo. thats the level i would like to reach someday. to be able to improvise and write music like that MAN!

very inspirational performance for me =) now i'm home just chillin. i got a letter from CSULB saying i got a scholarship for lessons. so it will come in the form of a waiver fee from private lessons. its worth from $550-1100 a year. i was hoping for something that was worth more... but its better than nothing. and so far APU even with all the scholarships they gave me, would still cost me 25 grand. i still believe theres more opportunity at CSULB though. i'm gonn have to talk to Mr. Stone and my teacher, ray, about my final decision.
