Ready? I am a geek. I will ALWAYS be a geek when it comes to music, learning, and especially learning about music. I LOOOOOVE being a student! My grad class this week (so far) has been amazing. And I am PUMPED about tomorrow...one of THE best conductors/teachers/arrangers/professors ever will be here (H. Robert Reynolds...look him up!). Today we watched a youtube vid that is of a truly OUSTANDING brass group called The Mnozil Brass. They look like a bunch of "misfits" but are taking the music world by storm! My prof, Dr. Menghini, went to see them live in the Chicago area recently. Who pulled up in the car next to him? The one and only Christopher Martin, principal trumpet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Menghini asked him what he was doing there. Chris' reply? 'These guys are some of the best out there! Even us brass players need to have some fun sometime!' Aside from fun...they blew me away! Check them out and let me know what you think!
