I’ve been involved with drum corps for most of my “banding” career but I’ve never been to Dayton, Ohio to compete in the Winter Guard International (WGI) finals championships. This year, I joined the BU Winter Percussion Ensemble and had the chance to go to Dayton and compete. This was the culmination of months of [...]

We’ve all been there: “Oh my god, I have so much work to do! I can’t do anything until it’s all done” This is usually where I’m at on a Sunday night or the night before an assignment is due. So what do I do? Find a place where I can feel like I’m getting [...]

Being a band nerd is rough times. My parents would frequently claim I was obsessed with band while I was in high school. Part of the issue was that (as current and ex-bando’s will acknowledge) it takes so much time out of your schedule to just to be able to be a part of the [...]

On Facebook this week, there’s been lots of sharing, liking, and commenting on Seth MacFarlane’s offensive remarks throughout the course of the 2013 Oscars.

There was a group of about twenty students and a half a dozen professors from the WGS [...]

Every once in a while, you get a professor or three per semester that just… grinds your gears. He or she knows exactly what you hate and what’s worse is that they DO IT! One of my professors this semester had me and my classmates sign a contract stating that we’ve read the syllabus. Easy [...]

I had a group meeting today with some classmates from my Communication Research class. Firstly, I would like to say that I can already tell this class is going to suck up all of my time. Have you ever just had that feeling in the beginning of a semester? Like “this is going to be [...]

Coming home yesterday and being able to set aside my textbooks, close my browser tabs, and exit all the word document windows was freedom. For now, at least. I have a final on Tuesday. I know what you’re thinking! “YOU ONLY HAVE ONE FINAL?! STOP COMPLAINING!” I’m a COM student, what can I say? But [...]
