Dress Rehearsal pre-World Percussion Concert
Friday, March 18th was the CSULB World Percussion Concert.
Here are some pictures of the World Percussion Group rehearsing before we set up the Steel Drum Orchestra.
-
- This piece is called Kpomegbe. People are being pulled from the audience to come up and dance. It’s pretty easy so they’re literally learning it on the spot. Later, I get called up and I bring my camera along.
-
- Danny must have been pretty tired. Everyone else was on stage singing and dancing or drumming and he slept through all of it.
-
- These shots were from right before the concert. We were waiting to start playing pan for the first half.
-
- Nick and I were making an infinite nesting of pictures within pictures to kill time.
-
- Jake is sharing chocolate with (almost) everyone.
As I was looking through these pictures, I realized that I only have two, TWO, more World Percussion Concerts at CSULB as an Undergraduate student. But only 4 years ago, I was on the other side. I was in the audience. And at that concert 4 years ago, I distinctly remember thinking, “I want to be up there doing that.”
I’ve been part of every World Percussion Concert from that point up until now, and I’ve photographed every single one except for one! The Fall 2008 Concert was the only one I didn’t photograph because I was performing throughout the whole concert and I hadn’t discovered the wonders of remote cameras yet.
So enough reminiscing about the past, stay tuned for pictures from the performance.
Go to discussion.
