started their band, so they understandably were not sure what to expect in terms of money. According to McLean, "I don't exactly recall the exact amount that it was, but we were on a weekly per diem that we were living on, just for like food during rehearsals. I was living on the McDonald's diet for the better portion of probably six or seven years of our career." Number Eleven: They Are the Best-Selling Boy Band of All Time. Having sold more than 130 million copies of their albums, they beat…
extended visit to Beijing. The daughter of one of my father’s friends invited me to the new Beijing National Olympic Stadium, i.e. the Bird’s Nest. Her mother was participating in a pre-Olympic track and field event at the Nest, basically a dress rehearsal for the Olympics. The stadium along with its dramatic lights is quite impressive. As we walked on to the stadium grounds, with its open roof and early summer breeze, athletes were pole vaulting, hurdling, throwing discus and javelins. In the…
There are certain circles within the music world that hold firm to the belief that this art form is of the purest and most abstract, and should remain so, while others think music should remain open to as many people as possible. Within the context of the 21st century, the later positon has become increasingly important to adopt, not only for the continued success of this art form, but to inspire and motivate positive change in the world. The current project under consideration, titled Divided…
Small group practice time forces students to present their ideas and rehearse the speaking situation before evaluation. I also like having a rehearsal day as it allows me to check note cards, gauge how much work has gone into the presentation prior to its due date, and also encourage students in a smaller setting, too. This practice also empowers students to watch critically and develop an understanding…
autonomous learning. When working of each skill, sport psychology techniques such as mental rehearsal, goal setting, confidence and self talk played a big factor. Distribution training where one one hit was made and then improved by feedback, adjustments to the shot and videos taking a up a few minutes to make ten shots(give or take). From watching videos online I had a certain visualisation and mental rehearsal of what a good drive looked like and what it would will look like when hit well.…
is set in a random Victorian British village. Victor Van Dort, and Victoria Everglot, are engaged by their families to marry. When they meet up each other for the first time, they felt good. After meeting, inept Victor ruin a wedding practice, he rehearsals his marriage vows in a forest , placing the wedding ring on what seems like a tree branch. The branch, in fact is the finger of a dead bride who is so excited by the vision of wedding that she rises from the grave and take Victor to the Land…
Avedon photos were a sensation at the time, and Nureyev's rule breaking disdain for norms and unbelievable sexual charisma were a big part of his persona; you bet he made people uncomfortable. But actually--scene after scene from the dress rehearsal posted on instagram does not seem to feature this full frontal photo. Maybe it does play a key role in much or all of the ballet, we don't know really.....but that is also not the point. For that matter, maybe the ballet is a piece of crap. Also…
I do not know how you have felt about this situation, but the state of affairs in terms of percussion has been tormenting my thoughts for the past several months. As Tyler and Patrick are graduating, and rumors of Harley, Ana, and Chase not participating in the program circulate, it is evident that we are going to have a shortage of percussionists in the marching band when we want to further expand the roster. Because of this, I do not feel comfortable in influencing your decision of my…
the show very much. After watching the show I went and tried to watch the movie version and I never quite finished it. However, I got pretty far into it and the way these high schoolers were able to perform such a great musical with only so much rehearsal time is amazing. I envy what the members of the show were able to…
