‘Music on Campus’
Spotlight and VPB Palooza
Aug. 25, 2012—My first Friday night back at school was full of school-sponsored activities. First, my friend and I went to Hillel for the Welcome Back Shabbat Dinner. Then, we went to Spotlight, where we met up with the rest of our friends. The night ended with VPB Palooza.
The Blair Necessities
Aug. 7, 2012—Fun advice about Blair, your home away from home (Commons) away from home (parent’s house), with a few recommendations by some of your future colleagues.
Rites of Spring 2012
Apr. 24, 2012—This year marks my second year of going to Rites of Spring at Vanderbilt. Even though I didn't know any of the artists coming super well, I love the atmosphere of Rites and the awesome meal plan food options (like The Grilled Cheeserie). Here's a summary of my experience that weekend:
Facing Empty Spaces
Apr. 15, 2012—In addition to attending The Liar (and organizing the talkback!) last weekend, I also saw the latest Original Cast show!
ESPN Gameday Part 1
Feb. 10, 2012—In case you haven’t turned on ESPN within the past week, I’m here to let you know that College Gameday will be filmed from Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gym this Saturday, for the first time in school history! As your unofficial sports blogger, I hope that you know me better than to think that I would miss...
Scrambling before the year ends…
Apr. 28, 2010—The year winds down for the Melodores. NOT. After a crazy successful spring concert last week, we look ahead…to the very near future. NBC’s “Sing Off” auditions are imminently approaching and we are getting ready for them. We are in the process of trying to coordinate everybody from the group to come back to Nashville...
Post-Concert update on the Melodores
Apr. 23, 2010—This was the big week for the Melodores. We had rehearsal every day leading up to our concert (which was yesterday). Hours and hours of practice finally paid off during our concert, entitled “The Meloship of the Ring.” Many asked if our concert had anything to do with Lord of the Rings and it really...
March Madness – On and Off Campus
Mar. 24, 2010—Off campus – the week in review: Everyone’s bracket has been completely destroyed. Who would have called some of these upsets? Vanderbilt basketball… oh well. All is not lost. Yea we lost our chance at playing Kentucky and finally handing their rear ends to them, but in talking with the team last night at Sigma...
Competitive Singing – Not just on American Idol…
Mar. 24, 2010—Big week. On Friday comes the collegiate NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) competition where many students from a variety of colleges will be competing against each other in the category of classical voice. Intense, it will be. In pretty excited, I must say, to display my collegiate year’s work in an audition setting...
Every Story has Two Sides
Mar. 22, 2010—Vanderbilt is a campus of wonders and amazement, but we are a very two-faced campus when it comes to certain things. The weather and music scene are two of the more meaningful and important dichotomies that exist on campus!
Hip Hop at Vanderbilt?
Dec. 21, 2009—When I decided to come to Vanderbilt there were a lot of things that attracted me to the school and to the city of Nashville. Music was not one of them. I love hip-hop music and even though Nashville is known as Music City, it’s not exactly the type of stuff you’ll find in my...
