Downers Grove(suburb)

i love it here only thing is equipment is like double the price... and its not easy to get hold of certain things! surprisingly im not black either. came as a surprise to me to.

I spend two weeks in Whiting every summer, my grandma lives there (off of Indianapolis)... Hear about the two guys that got murdered in Hammond? she is two blocks away, and I got there the week after... I didn't sleep too well knowing people got shot that close...

I don't know if I mentioned I was joining my college's jazz band, but I just found out the bad news - there won't be any jazz band. :(
Only four people signed up so the class was cancelled, but on the plus side I'm being placed into the Concert Band, which is going to comprise of whatever musical group we can assemble ourselves into. I know there is a pianist/baby sax player and guitarist, and myself on bass among others. Maybe we can come up with an interesting group, at least I am hoping.

You could make some really good stuff with that ensemble, wish I had a good group....

My group in concert band is going to suck.

[QUOTE=ScorpSath]So how many of you have started school already?[/QUOTE]

I start school a week from now. I'm going to the Jazz festival before I go back though. :cool:

I can't play Sax in Jazz Band this year, I'll have to try out for bass... so sad :lol:

I have to try out for Concert band. What pieces should I do? I was thinking of doing a little medley...

im in the honors band on clarinet , 2nd chair , but only because they wont let me play bass in orchestra , what jerks

Whoa. Chicago people, there's going to be something this sunday at the Jazz festival called "Bass is the Place." :D

I wish I could get a ride up there for it.... I missed the Jazz Festival that was in Indy

i would so make it out there for that , but my band has practice sunday

Would be bada[size=2]ss[/size] if they did some Jaco...

yeah it would , be pretty good if they had some good bassists there too , whose playing?

one of my four (I don't know how it happened, but I'm in 4 bands...and I am not all that good...hell, who am I kidding? I suck....) bands is practicing then I think, but I'd rather go to the Jazz fest.........

[QUOTE=Left Shoe]yeah it would , be pretty good if they had some good bassists there too , whose playing?[/QUOTE]
