I went and saw BLAST! this afternoon- it's like a broadway type show, kinda... don't really know how to describe it. At first I thought it would be a Stomp rip-off trying to fool the onomatopoeically challenged or something, but fortunately I was wrong. It was like... marching band on steroids or something- mixed with some dancing. Maybe I'm just swayed to think so cuz 2 of the numbers in the show were pieces that I actually played in my marching band days. But yea, they did some really nifty "tricks." I think the show was supposed to mainly show off the percussionists, but I thought the brass really shined also (no pun intended, seriously).

*Man, I've been having problems with my alarm clock left and right. I woke up this morning at 9:09 (without the alarm), completely missing my 8 o'clock class. Man, I don't know what happened, I coulda sworn I switched it on, but it was in the off position when I woke up... weird. Maaaaaaaaan, if I'd known I wasn't gonna wake up for my class, I woulda gone out clubbing the night before. Blaaaaaahhhh...
