Members nothingstock Posted March 25, 2013 Members Share Posted March 25, 2013 OK, I had a great time this past weekend. I teach high school art, but have been playing since I was 14 (now 61). I don't play in a regular band but I still play a lot, sitting in with local groups and jamming with friends. My high school students performed Grease this past weekend and I was #1 Guitar, with one of our seniors as #2. What a great time. Some of the younger students didn't realize I played, and those that knew were pleased to have me there. The kids were great, the music fun and the other orchestra members were very accomplished local musicians. One was a verteren of the show "Sing-Off" with the Dartmoth Aires (SP?). Lots of fun.

Members Special J Posted March 25, 2013 Members Share Posted March 25, 2013 Cool, man. I've played drums in a couple of pit bands, and it was lots of fun. I've always wanted to play guitar for Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted March 25, 2013 Members Share Posted March 25, 2013 I watched the Sing Off, and the Dartmouth Aires were great! Also, I've done this while I worked at a small school, playing drums and guitar in their productions. Lots of fun, I agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nothingstock Posted March 25, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2013 One of the parents said to me years ago that I was demonstrating to the kids that playing music was for life, not just something you do in school. I always felt good about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitzilla Posted March 26, 2013 Members Share Posted March 26, 2013 That's great.I'm doing my first pit ever next month for a college production of Xanadu. I'm actually the music director for the band. I sequenced all of the keys and we will be playing to a click track. I have some problem solving to do. It has already made me grow as a musician. I'm figuring out what I'm going to use for my rig this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
