Time for my adventures

First of all! I GET TO GO SEE CAM ON FRIDAY! YAY!

KT here, since Cam has been posting so much I though it would be my turn! Just got back from a music education conference in Providence RI which was a blast. I had to drive the van down there and let’s just say I have never driven a 10 passenger van in my life so that was quite..uuhh..interesting.. the conference was amazing though. Spent the first two hours of friday morning in a West African drumming class, I also took an Indian/Native American style frame drumming class and a bunch of other classes that were amazing. I did try a few tech classes but both of those were horrible classes and I left both of them early because I couldn’t stand it anymore. (One was a Band in the Box one and another was audio visual equiptment one).  I took a couple of other classes on saturday about Gospel music, Jazz literacy, American Folk, and Music of the Pacific Islands. We stayed at the swanky Hilton Hotel (which really was not that swanky when we explored it but it was still a pretty nice hotel) and Saturday night the whole group of us that went decided to go to Fire and Ice for dinner. For those of you who don’t know about fire and Ice: http://www.fire-ice.com/ . We also saw the Boston Brass in concert that night http://www.bostonbrass.com/live/ and those guys are always amazing. All and all it was a pretty great trip and I came home with some amazing books from GIA Publications and a brand new Bodrhan!
