#gothams street performers

LIVE

Ok, so I tried out for the Gotham Orchestra and lemme just say, a good half of the orchestra are a tad of snooty rich folks and the other half are some students or some chill folk.

Not as bad as I expected, although the bd (band director) clearly favours the richer players. (They all gettin first and main parts.) Although, I ain’t complaining. I honestly don’t mind playing second or third Clarinet. Second and Third is almost as important as first as Uncle Clerry’s said. Ur adding more layers to the melody, evening it out and balancing with harmony.

The bd said we finna do Swan Lake because the Gotham ballet company is planning to do it. But other then that, he said we might do Rite of Spring.

Ayyy it’s actually a chill day today. Even tho it was hella nippy out, I still jammed on the street. Some gal on the Bone, a kid on the sax and a trumpet dude joined me at one point. We rocked ‘On Green Dolphin street’, ‘The Girl From Ipanema’, “‘Round Midnight”. Later some others joined in and ended up having a whole group so we got the chance to perform ‘Get Up Offa that Thing’ and “Superstition” . Honestly had a blast today!

Now, here in Gotham, I usually like to do random jam sessions with my buddies on the streets. We of course do Jazz, as it’s one of the most easiest ones that can easily be improvised. (Plus, its the creator of improv lol) So, we were doing some street jazz when the KING himself, The Signal drops by and jams out on the kit.
