going to miss a step or humiliate myself on the football field. I took my time to stay calm and pray that I would have the confidence to perform. By the time I got on the field to perform, I was imagining being a stage like I’ve done at my dance recitals. I had to best time participating color guard because it showed how self-confident I was throughout the…
Monday by Phillip O. Paglialonga Concert Review I attended Phillip Paglialonga’s performance on September 12th. I was really glad that I am able to enjoy the music after a day of study, especially on Monday. It was my first time attending this Monday recital session at Squires, and I am hoping to attend more because of the high quality this performance. Beginning with a classical string quartet with the clarinet, I was attracted by the ensemble of the first violin, the second violin, the…
precious and valuable practice rooms are having a fatal effect on the students who use them. Imbecile trespassers are taking up available spaces that students could be using to clock in those hours that they need for that crucial competition, recital, or audition that could make or break their reputation or make a name for themselves! There has been one small-minded undesirable who “closed” a piano by resting half of the lid on the music desk…twice! There have also been many…

He himself…
requires an audition. Though presently I am not a member of any orchestra, I would like to participate in a high school orchestra. I volunteered for the SF Food Bank program since I was nine. I would go two Sundays a month, but with the amount of recitals and fencing tournaments that has lessened. I also volunteer for the SF Parks and Recreation with friends. Two years ago I spent two weeks in Thailand volunteering at an elephant sanctuary north of Chang Mai. I fence saber competitively and am…
having a second baby and concludes that she was overthinking the situation. She states that women feel obligated to go to work then come home and do the cooking and cleaning, she states in the article that the topic of working moms is a tap-dance recital in a minefield. Fey expresses that people underestimate her parenting style by asking her various of rude questions such as “How do you juggle everything?” or “Are you going to have more kids?”. Growing up, she was taught not to talk about…
recruitment process over again. Many employers also become frustrated with women who come back from leave and expect the same pay and level of authority, but also the flexibility to work fewer hours and to leave early for soccer games and ballet recitals. Some employers have even admitted that there is a temptation to avoid hiring young…
Berklee stayed at its unique area at 284 Newbury Street from its establishing in 1945 to 1966, when it moved into the bigger 1140 Boylston Street assembling, the previous Hotel Bostonian. Starting in 1972 a period of more quick extension started with the buy of the Fenway Theater and the connecting Sherry Biltmore Hotel at 150 Massachusetts Avenue. The theater was revamped and opened as the 1,227-seat Berklee Performance Center in 1976. The previous Biltmore Hotel gave extra classroom and…
Growing up I was one of the few kids that actually loved going to school to learn. Weird, I know. Unfortunately the same place I loved to be at was also a place of my worst nightmares. At a young age I was antisocial and unable to start let alone hold a conversation with anyone. I got bullied for awhile, only had a couple of friends, and was always excluded from groups. I’ve never blamed anyone but myself. I believe children that grow up doing some type of outside school activity tend to be…

The recital was at 7:30 tonight and i was still…
