College Update

SO...I have now had every class I will have this semester and participated in each sooooooooooo I'll give you a run down of my life away at college!
Classes - English -- Not too hard, a basic composition class...not too much to say
Music theory -- Probably one of my hardest classes...But key signature study parties make it all worth while...*cough* C Sharp 7 sharps slut *Cough*
State and Local Government -- I really like this class + the professor brings in food all the time so thats a good bonus
Studio -- Studio is going to be one of my favorites...a certain group of students perform one piece they are preparing for juries, then we write critiques on thier performances! Super cool...
Piano -- I suck at playing piano...
Sight Singing/Ear Training -- Boring...just typical sight singing and rythym writing...
Performance Classes/Groups That I get a Grade for
Chorale -- Select Singing group of about 20-25 people I believe...Nothing too interesting yet...
Chorus -- A general chorus open to anyone...one of the two large ensembles, a requirement for me...
Applied Instruction -- Private Voice lesson with Mr. Matthew Ripperre...Very cool!!
Performing Groups/Clubs/Shows
Night Owls -- WSCs A Capella group...19 singers and vocal percussionist...ask me about my audition story...SO FUN!
Guys Dont Talk About Love/G-Love/MTG -- Musical Theater Guild, one of the oldest clubs on campus is doing an original show written and directed by a student (Jess Torone) and its super phenominal!! I can't believe a student wrote it to be honest!! My characters name is Jim.
Broadway Comes to Westfield -- A musical review for parents day. Im singing the roles of Chip Tolentino in The 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee (Opening Song, and Pandemonium) as well as the role of Ryan in High School Musical (What I've Been Looking For and Bop to the Top) also we are doing songs from Avenue Q and Wicked (4 from each of the 4 shows) This is for parents day in a few weeks...
