Hey you all. How is everybody doing? I know I'm something of a ghost these days, but bare with me. To everyone that knows me, hello and sorry I haven't been here. To everyone who doesn't, hello and nice to meet you :)

I have recently entered a scholarship contest to Musicians Institute of California. Full Tuition payed + $10,000. You don't have to, but it will mean a hell of a lot to me to anyone who has the time to create a fan account and vote for me.

http://fullride.mi.edu/contest.php?sid= ... &aid=71659

I'm the one on the far right. I composed, recorded, and produced the song. I also play the drums and played the keyboards for the recording. You can hit Visit Backstage to view more info :)

The account doesn't take long and is free. But thank you to anyone who can do it.

Lots of love, and will see you soon maybe :)

Look at my ridiculous facial expressions.

Also this was the Percussion Quartet that we performed. Straight superiors in that too. I'm on the timpani :)

Why thank you :)

Also I don't know if the State Competition of that solo was ever posted. But here you go.

Of course the contest is judging me on playing full set, but I was playing full set before I learned marching snare, and practice it more. So yeah :D

I would upload a video of me playing set, but I don't have a video camera anymore :/

Thanks MasterM. I'm also primarily a set player, only been focusing on this sort of stuff for the past 4 years.

I won't win. Theirs tons of insane musicians that are getting hyped way more. But it doesn't matter. The more I get, the more the college will notice me. And if I apply for a scholarship there, it will help loads.

That's pretty much what I'm going for.

3. Click vote
4. Click OK dialog
5. Close page
6. Unmute :P
Nothing against the song, only I heard it enough times already. I wonder though, as a drummer why pick a song where you don't stand out so much (and no video for that matter)?
