Well the Britt Jazz camp was soooo much fun!! I learned alot and made lots of new friends. The instructors were the best, they were from all over the country some as far a Tennessee and Kansas!! the kids were from all over the west coast!! one from Fresno, CA a bunch from Washington state and of course Oregon. myself and three other people were the only ones from our high school but that made for alot of meeting new friends. we were each in a combo bad, witch is a small band made up of 3-5 people. Mine was alot of fun. the main focus for these groups are soloing, mainly improv. and then for the whole camp there was two big bands. they were alot of fun. If you have Facebook I have pics up of us preforming on the Britt stage!! we had full sound and lighting and were treated like true professional musicians!! we had catered dinner, security guards, and personal dressing rooms!!!! It was a great experience.
The night before our performance we got to go to a Chris Botti concert!!!! Chris is a mainstream pro trumpet player and someone I have listened too for years. he has the most amazing sound and a really great personality. and we were all but 4 feet from him in a backstage room!!! ahh summer is turning out great!!!!!!!!!!
