There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it.
The trips, the people, the music.
I miss senior year completely, I miss Touring Guitar. :c
I mean I didn't know I could miss being tortured by Yancey for hours upon hours.
Yancey was my guitar teacher. :) He is gay and bald! Thought I would let you all know. He was so fun to be around . . . yet scarry and intimidating.
This would be the oh so great James Yancey! (Yancey pants, swagless butthole, etc.) Our nicknames for him were endless. He loved them all. He supported our craziness and went along with most of our jokes as well as our pranks. :)
This is what we did after practice, instead of going home it was "ultimate trust fall time!"
The wheels on the bus go round and round. This is how we traveled. :) In some other occasions . . . in smaller buses.
Our school stage.
Snow?
New Mexico was our first real trip. The thing I miss the most about traveling with these people are rooming with them in crappy little motels. :/ x)
This is what actual practice looked liked. For hours. In this position. Yes. Okay I should probably explain. There were two ensembles. Illuminati and Carpe Diem. Carpe Diem went to Peru. I know lucky them. :/ Anyways the last picture was them at the airport waiting for their flight, a two hour wait turned into a two hour rehearsal.
Yes lucky them. . . they got to go to Machu Picchu! (and all these other places!)
Then came Washngton D.C. <3 It was beautiful! We learned a lot and walked a lot. Literally everywhere we went we walked. Yancey would pick someone and tell them to take us to our destination. We ran as well . . . we looked like a pack of goof balls.
This year they got the chance to go to Hawaii. Actually they are probably almost arriving back. I say they cause well. . . I'm no longer in it due to graduating. I say that like it was a disease. Haha well nostalgia is one too!
This is quite old, we now have Cordobas and Sophias. Way better than Ovations!! But this video gives some insight.
This was about two years ago. The guitars we . . . they use now. Ahh let's tango !
Illuminati
Carpe Diem
The end. For now . . . I need to go do something with my life before I go crazy. LIke my food paper. Yep I haven't started it.
Till next time. xoxo
Rosa--Your entries continue to be engaging and interesting. You have good writing flow and thoughtful analysis. Your visual appeal is good too. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteYancey uuuuuy strict teacher but was very nice. I was thinking about taking Jazz choir with him but everyone would complain about how he would make some students cry. So I thought about it twice. Haha. good post I liked it a lot!
