CLASSES R OVER: So whats next? & USU CHAMBER SINGERS

Hey Aggies! It's Me again, Ya Boy, Ya Harlem Knight, Ya Homeboy: T.J. Coming at you with another post to set off another week.

So let me just start off by saying CLASSES ARE OVER!!! Yup I just said that in a blog post! I am so excited because I thought this week would never come, but let me assure you we are not out of the woods just yet. A darker villain approaches with quick haste, and an unruly swift judgement. Yes I'm talking about Finals week so be on the look out during Finals Week and we shall see who will come out the VICTOR (me of course but I don't wanna give it away)


This last week of classes was great (even though I spent most of my time indoors with my head either in a book or a pillow ;) but the highlight of my week is happening this Saturday night at the performance hall @ 7:s0pm. I probably should've mention this earlier but the Utah State Chamber Singers have been invited to China for an International collegiate Choral Music Festival in Beijing!!!! This sat. night we will be performing our 50 min. concert of songs that we will be taking to China!!! It will be great we have some Samba, we have some Spiritual, we have some Masses & we have some gospel!!! So come one come all and please support us in this matter. Its been a hectic last few weeks of the semester but at least I can always look toward the horizon and hope for the best because this summer will be awesome!

Be Encouraged!

Dancing with A Symphony Orchestra

WHAT'S GOIN' ON MY AGGIES? IT's Me Ya Dancer, Ya Music Lover, Ya Music Major: T.J. Coming at you with another post! Check me out!!!

I hope this post is reaching you well. With TWO WEEKS left in classes I still can't believe that summer is right around the corner but right now is not the time to get reminiscent. I have Tests, tests, and more TESTS coming up not to mention Finals! There is always something else going on up here on campus so you can find me either on the stage performing or in the audience watching it all go down!
This week has been a none-stop roller coaster. As always my life never gets boring even in Logan. By the way The Step Show last Friday went great. All the groups that performed are all on youtube. I am soOoOo proud of my bros and all who performed! Moving foreword to this past Tuesday I was on the Kent Concert Hall stage as a guest artist/ choreographer! It was USU's very own Dance companies Vilociti, Full Circle & My Bad Crew performing in their Annual Spring Show. It was such a great show, and I had a great time coming up the choreography for Vilociti! The audience was packed and I was so excited! After the show I have decided that next year I seriously want to get more involved as an actual member. These dance companies hold an audition in the beginning of the Fall semester and they accept anyone who wants to audition, so if your gonna be going to school up here next semester hopefully i will see you at the audition.

This Thursday will be another event. The Utah Symphony Orchestra will be bringing their annual Spring tour to Logan performing "Classically Charged" I am throughly excited for this upcoming show. I love what comes out of my radio as much as the next AGGIE but every now and again you "gotta get back to the roots"Classical music is the best kind of genre. Its very sophisticated, and its always a treat when you have a orchestra of this caliber to come up to perform here at the Cain College Of The Arts! So I hope to see you in the audience tonight!

Other than that I hope all is well don't forget to continue to study hard in these last few weeks and go into the summer with a blast!
Be Encouraged!

Not too long ago was the FESTIVAL of COLORS!!! Every year to bring the new Spring Season people from all over Utah come together at the Kirsha Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. A lot of Aggies attend this event every year. I spent most of that afternoon covered in colorful chalk =). Everything was so unexpected, but none the less an experience to remember!

This Friday I am co-producing the 12th ANNUAL SPRING STEP SHOW!!!  We will all of USU's BEST Greek Organizations all colliding on one night to bring you a show of humor, wit, and straight up entertainment! This year we will have some returning favorites such as the Sigma Chi, Kappa Delta, & Alpha Chi (just to name a few). We also have USU's very own Black Student Union, & the dance company Velociti!!! So this will be an event you won't want to miss. It happens every year and it only gets better and better, so tell your friends and everybody CUZ IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN!!!
(*The show is actually April 6th)

Be Encouraged!!!
