Happenings this week! :D

Hey Guys!

Well well had quite a hectic busy week so far!!! On sunday Rhythm Wave had 2 gigs outside of Wetherspoons for the re-opening after the refurbishment! It was really enjoyable to do an outside gig again, and the rain thankfully kept off for us! We also enjoyed a meal altogether in Wetherspoons! :D On Monday we had our second Music Theory exam and also our results from the last re sit! In which i am proud and SO happy to say i passed! And got every single question right! Wooo hooo! Haha. So now just waiting on the results next week for this weeks exam on chord construction and cadences!

Ive also progressed further with my Daw project and now have all instruments bar vocals for Iggy Pop- The Passenger! :) Monday night was dedicated to a cleaning spree as we had our final halls inspection on tuesday determining whether we get our £250 deposits back! Tuesday was band practice today however with out creative project bands we had our recording session in the studio to lay down our original swing song! It all went well and it only took about 2 to 3 hours, vocals was the last to lay down and i got mine done first take, we then double tracked it all and got to have a wee listen after, it sounded really good, so was very pleased with it! We then had the rest of the day to practice with our stagecraft bands ready for our gig on thursday, however now being wednesday have just found out, the gigs in Dundee have been officially cancelled due to a mix up at the venue! So quite disapointing, however on the plus side we all get more practicing time, and will hopefully get a replacement gig re scheduled as soon as possible! I am pleased for the extra time, as our band recently scrapped two songs and replaced them, therefore it would suit us to get those two songs tighter and better rehearsed, so that we can feel more comfortable with them and altogether perform them better, as are being assessed on stagecraft!

Tuesday evening we had Rhythm Wave practice in the union as Ali Pibworth's musical was set to be taking place at 7pm in the Goodlyburn Theatre! I was so so excited for it, being one of the last performances and long awaited! The show was absoultely fantastic! I had such an awesome time, and that wasnt just because there was a free bar in the goodlyburn! :p haha the whole britrock musical was so cleverly put together and the relaxed atmosphere from the cast rubbed off on the audience and everyone enjoyed themselves, i was having a blast and singing away to all the songs, LOVED it!! The cast were ahmazing and certainly know how to entertain, causing huge amounts of laughter throughout the show as well! :D So a huge well done goes out to Ali Pibworth, and the whole cast!!! The after party was also much enjoyable! Haha we all had a big celebration and it was great to hang out with everyone and just have a good time, after all the hard work!!!

Things i have also got done for graded unit this week are: 2 recordings via video camera now posted on facebook! Of 2 of my original songs! As a result of lack of time, and recording availability i have made a few changes and decided to video record more of my songs for my aims and put them on facebook and youtube! With the help of Bob Holis we managed to ahieve 2 songs over the weekend! So a great big thank you to him for his help! :D

As for the rest of the week, now wont be travelling through to Dundee, i shall be going to theatre instead!

Until next update
