Motivated: Huge gig!

[AggieDave 6]

Yup, its just about 0500 here and I'm wide awake. Well, I did just get back from the girlfriend's place, but I'm too motivated about today to go to sleep, so I thought I'd share.

We're (tamu jazz band) playing for a special event at Reed Arena here on campus, for something like 7,000 people at noon today. No, that's not anything like a Metallica stadium concert, but its the largest gig we've ever played as a group.

That being said, since I'm Lead Trumpet, I have something like 5 solos and all the scream trumpet parts, so I'm getting really excited.

Skydiving is the only thing I've found that can compare to the rush of performing music to a crowd. There is truely nothing like it.

Dude, get out there and BREAK A LEG!!!!

As your friendly neighborhood guitarist, I can empathize with the playing for the crowd feeling...it is a rush when you realize that they are listening and jamming and just plain getting down what you are doing.

So one more time....BREAK A LEG

I know what you mean... I never played to a crowd that big though. Have a good one!

Definitely!! I used to play in a few bands and I've often compared my "after skydive rush" to that of just finishing a gig; and I think the largest crowd I played for was 300. What a thrill, have fun Dave.

Break a Leg!
7,000 is a good sized crowd! It has to be a great buzz, sharing your music with that many of your closest friends!
Hope the show goes off without a hitch! Enjoy the buzz, man!

Easy Does It

The icing on the cake would be if you did a demo jump onto the stage and then played!

*looking outside*

I don't think theres going to be any jumping in this part of Texas today...

sure right about that ... or tomorrow either from the look of it ...

Sure hope the performance went well Dave ... football team kicked BUTT today ... new offensive coordinator is sure making a difference!

As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?
