Well, it's about halfway through spring semester.  I'm taking more theory and aural skills, conducting, and carillon lessons, among other things this semester.  For those of you that might not know, the carillon is the bells up in Tillman Hall.  I'm working on an arrangement of "Stay Awake" and "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins for the carillon.  I'm also taking an arranging class, so for that I'm working on a marching band arrangement of Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move." That's really cool for me, because I love Carole King's music.

I'm also putting together a jazz combo with some other people.  We practiced a lot towards the beginning of the semester, but we're taking a little bit of a break now, because everyone is so busy.  We'll probably start up again around the end of the semester, and we really want to do a lot over the summer.

Probably the biggest news is that I auditioned for Clemson's production of As You Like It.  They were looking for musicians, but I'll have a couple of speaking lines, too, as a forester and Sir Oliver Martext.  I'm really excited because I've never really been involved in a play or acted before.  It will definitely be a new experience, and I'm hoping to learn a lot about theatre and what goes on behind the scenes.
