Vespertine Formations

This is a music-themed blog by The Man Octave (themanoctave.tumblr.com). I can't follow you back on this blog, but if I like your blog I'll follow you on my main.

I'm a Junior in college studying Instrumental and Vocal Music Education, with a primary on trumpet and an intended Jazz minor. My passion lies in Marching Band/Drum Corps, Jazz, and worship music, but I understand the importance of teaching all disciplines and all musical concepts. You can also view my online teaching portfolio by clicking the world icon below.

This blog will serve as a place to express my thoughts and share my love of music throughout my endeavors as a musician. Mostly, you'll just see pictures of instruments, but I like to post education related things as well. Enjoy!

What was truly XtraordinarY about XtraordinarY?
Upside-down tenors? Split mallet runs? Trumpet screamers? Planking basses? Awesome visuals? Guard? Upside down trumpets & DM’s? What really was the best part about XtraordinarY?

To me, it was not any of the above.
To me, it was this.

Mr. Mallets stares into your soul.

I laughed at this much harder than necessary.
