what to blog about...
our music group has been working together very well. unexpectedly well in fact. our last practice, which had the intend to show individuals within the group, was entirely successful. at least in my humble opinion. instead of having a bunch of solos, we decided to have sections that featured the different instruments. this idea bonded better to the direction we had been going in. i look foreward to playing for the class on tuesday to see what they think. also, with this new direction, we have started to develop music with more of a stable beat mixed into the chaos. i am enjoying this hybrid. at first i was very much about having the absence of a solid beat, but when combined with some kind of solid ground, it pushes the chaotic parts to an extreme by comparison.

p.s. steve, is there money in the budget to buy a hi-hat stand? and possibly a second cymbal stand? it would be extremely helpful to have a full drum set. thanks.
