Terrific Tuesday - Elijah Rock - Jester Hairston

I love this song.  We used to do it in another SATB choir I belonged to years ago.  Do you think we should try this one ETS?  Okay, now I have your attention, just try to keep still as you listen. 

Terrific Tuesday - "Piano Lessons" Comedy By Chonda Pierce

If you need a giggle or two today, this is the video to watch.  Chondra tells some funny stories about piano lessons and her mother's expectations and her realities.  We can all hear a little of ourselves in this sketch.  Notice that although she self-deprecates, she is truly talented.  Just have fun with this one. 

Terrific Tuesday - University of Florence: Rossini Flash Mob

When we were in London, U.K. a while ago we came across a college orchestra practicing in the atrium of their college.  They played Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.  They had a quartet of strings instead of the whole string section and a bass drum instead of timpani. It was so well done.  

This university group does their concert a bit differently. I sure hope they timed this so it wasn't a study time for important exams although the faces of the audience seem to say they are quite happy to be disturbed.  I know I would have been.  How about you?

Terrific Tuesday - The Exam - Percussion Ensemble

We have all written an exam of some kind.  This is one we wish we all could have experienced.  What talent!
