Hola Familia!
I'm typing this from a coffee shop in Carrollton, Texas as I wait an hour to do a junior
high flute masterclass for a school a friend of mine teaches at. I'm sipping on a matcha latte which is my other favorite beverage other than coffee. Saturday is area marching contest! It really feels like marching season really has come and gone. I hope our band makes it to UIL Texas State Marching contest. The weather is against us this weekend. Normally I would wish for rain, but hopefully we don't get any! Anyway, ENOUGH about marching band! Unto the music for this Sunday!
Let's get to it!
BAND-MAID Sunday:
"Rock In Me" is next! No music video or official live video for this one, but that doesn't matter to me! There have been so many suprises within this album that I am wondering what this song will be like. I looked up the lyrics to get an idea of what kind of energy I am going to be infused with, and it looks like these lyrics are just what the doctor ordered.
PATREON Extras:
Sohyang - "The Song Begins" (feat. Jinjoo.L of DNCE)
In my last reaction to Sohyang here on Patreon, I asked if she had any original songs that she has done. I am excited to check this out even if it is just (I use this word loosely) fun pop song! I had no idea her sister in law was the guitar player for DNCE...and apparently The Jonas Brothers are in this as well? ...like, what? I like The Jonas Brothers...don't judge me!
Scandal, Nemophila, Gibson Replays (feat. Asaka of TRiDENT, Kaho of Faulieu, Chloe from Aimi Vader & Moe Hirakawa from Little Glee Monsters - "Don't Say Lazy" from the anime K-ON!
If you are keeping up with anime reactions on my Patreon, this reaction might be for you! I would say that this reaction suggestion is STACKED. Great musicians from other bands coming together to recreate anime greatness; before we jump into all these performances, we will be checking out the OG performance of this song by the voice actors first and then we check out and compare all the other versions from each band and group of artists to hear what their take on the song is. I cannot wait because this song gets STUCK in my head after each time I watch an episode!
BAND-MAID - "Rock In Me" live performances from World Domination Tour, Zepp Tokyo & Yokohama Arena Live
Unfortunately we don't have a score for this one, but I was informed that there are good live performances for this one! We will be checking out both performances from Zepp Tokyo and Yokohama Arena, comparing them to the album version and then comparing them to each other!
ANIME Reactions:
Sound! Euphonium - Season 3, Ep. 1
The new school year has begun and I am excited to watch Reina, Kumiko and Shuichi lead their new bandmates to their goal of gold. In this episode, the trio are trying their best to attract new members to their club. They gathered a big new team of 90 new students, but at the end of this episode we are introduced to a mysterious new euphonium player...!
The Apothecary Diaries - Season 1, Ep. 6
The garden party was off to a good start and nothing seemed unusual. While the Emperor and the Concubines watched the live music and dances, the ladies in waiting argued who's Concubine was best. As their meal was served, the food tasters checked for poison. Maomao found poison in her food and was almost too excited about it, so much so that she wanted to continue eating the poisoned dish! Who's trying to poison the Concubines?!
K-On! - Season 1, Live House!
We ended the first season with an experience the girls will never forget! The opportunity to play in a live venue was too good to pass up so the band took it! They had the chance to meet members of other bands that have been doing this gig long enough to help them figure out their set and their lights. This was such a lovely act to see! I can't wait to see what season 2 has in store for the light music club!
I'm hoping the weather is clear enough for the students to march their best. Rain is really bad for woodwind instruments, not so much for brass, but we also have tons of electronic equipment that mics up our front percussion and soloists. Either way, the kids are ready to take the field and give their best. I know they will do their best today and no matter what happens, I'm proud of them and their hard work.
Also, I can't wait for my brother to visit!
I hope your week was good and you are well!
Con Amor,
💜NittPicc💜
