As You Like It, Arrangement, Summer!
Posted by Cayce Wilkinson on Sunday, July 3, 2011
Well, as always (since I don't update very often), a lot has happened since my last post!
As You Like It has finished up - I had a great experience, and made a lot of new friends. I feel closer to the people in my own department, and I definitely learned a ton about acting and how a straight play operates. I also got to try my hand at some composition and different instruments, like melodica! I'm very grateful for the opportunities I had to work with Jayce Tromsness and all the awesome people in the cast and crew.
I'm also putting the finishing touches on my arrangement of Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move." It's turned out way better than I expected, and I can't wait for Tiger Band to play it this fall, although I have to admit that I'm a little nervous. Hopefully it goes well!
That brings us to summer - I'm working with Clemson's Summer Housing Programs as a night hall attendant. I sit at the desk of a youth summer camp building from 11 pm - 7 am and basically make sure nothing goes wrong. I love the staff, and it's a pretty good job. I've also had a few gigs, including playing background music for a Clemson Class of '39 Social. Now that I've done that, I'll feel a lot more confident about taking other gigs like it.
Now I'm just looking ahead to the fall! I'm sure I'll be very busy - I've been selected clarinet section leader and assistant uniform manager for Tiger Band - lots of work to do before fall even starts! I am SO ready for football season to start already!
