I have never been to a steel band performance before so this was pretty cool for me. Some of the band members actually composed their own songs or did arrangements of some famous songs. So cool. Aside from the entertainment aspect and going to something new, I picked up on the body language of the members. In our darkroom this semester Linda often mentions how meditative photography can be and how you use your body to make the work. I found this to be the same for these performances. Every single person was using basically their entire body to make the music, count beats or move along to the tune. I mainly thought about that the entire show and somehow finally realized that maybe that's why I'm so interested in music and mesmerized by people who make music. I know this course is over but I hope to push myself to go to more of these concerts or similar shows at the krannert because I feel it helps me to meditate on my own practices plus its nice to get away from reality for a couple hours and listen to some awesomely talented students.
OH and can I just say... This event also helped make it click in my head about how happy i am to be at this school. It is filled with so many intelligent, inspiring and talented people - so why not go support others with these campus events.
