Jazz Band Camp

Yeah, I finally got to go to band camp! :) It was a week-long Jazz Workshop at the Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Worden) Spent an exhausting week in workshops, listening to faculty perform and ourselves perform. Food was bad, accommodations were sparse (tiny dorm-like rooms with shared bathrooms). Here’s some pictures. Went up with Bob, who also attended (he’s the guy in one of the pictures). There’s a picture of the corner of the dorm/barracks I stayed in with the ocean in the background. The trombone faculty member was Wycliffe Gordon – an amazing player (www.wycliffegordon.com). He’s the large black guy in one of the pictures. There’s also a picture of me during our public performance. Great fun! Learned a lot.
