As I am the director of the Fredericton Concert and Marching Band (as of this past June), I was going to be involved in the Remembrance Day parade and ceremonies whether I really wanted to be or not. As a member of the band from about age 12-19, I’ve sure participated in my fair share [...]

Love me Some Chris Martin…
by heather
Yeah, I love Coldplay. For a whole number of reasons.
First, their music is actually good. It’s thoughtful, it’s well-composed, it’s interesting. It’s not just bubblegum pop, cookie-cutter rock, same-old new punk. It’s intelligent, from a musical and lyrical perspective.
And this is coming from someone with a Master’s Degree in Music. I ain’t no slouch, people. [...]

Whoa… Opportunity knocks

My mind is blown. I’ve just been offered a position that would be an incredible opportunity. I won’t give details right now, since I have no idea whether or not I’m going to accept.

by heather
Sometime between, oh, around 1995 and this past summer, I learned to play the trombone.
Let me clarify. I’ve been playing the trombone since I was 10 years old. When I was 12, I joined the City Band. I played all through high school. I played in the jazz band. And when I went to Acadia [...]

Christmas Luck

Several blogs I’ve discovered recently had Christmas-themed contests, and I entered a few.
I just found out that I won one of them, and I’m pretty sure it’s the first blog contest I ever entered! I won a CD of Latin Carols from Classical Academic Press (ooh, they have Latin primers for children… tempting!!!)
Especially since I [...]

Life sometimes has its own plans
by heather
Well, it’s December and I’m still not really any closer to having a business ready to go. I’ve got some ideas for a mei-tai style baby carrier, I’ve got some pants patterns almost ready to go, and I have some lovely fabric. But I haven’t made any jewelry in months.
Things have just been so busy, [...]
