She stops singing and tries to push the cat slightly out of the way, but on her next cue the cat starts meowing before she can sing. The woman starts laughing as the cat continues meowing to the music, as though it was singing as well. End ID.]
How do you listen to music?
What streaming services do you use for classical music? Do you own physical copies of recordings? Do you attend live concerts? Etc.
i love you singers whose vocals sound desperate i love you musicians who sound like if you don’t get this song out you’re going to explode i love you songs that sound like they’re dragging the vocalist with them 80 miles per hour down the highway tied to the back of a truck i love you voice cracks in emotional songs i love you unique voices i love you music that disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed

the most base human desire is just to do stuff with strings. weaving. cooking spaghetti. quantum physics. embroidery. uhh lacing your shoes to go on a run. a lot of instruments. knitting
headphones are an epic invention. like yes i am in my little bubble listening to music that you can’t hear
I am shielded from your thoughts AND mine
music teachers: i'm going to simplify the terminology for these teenagers so they're not intimidated by a swarm of italian and french
dance teachers: if these 7 year olds don't know it's called a pas de bourrée pas de chat fouetté plié en deuxième coq au vin what's the point
dance: our naming convention seeks to maintain and honour tradition and live the ancient beauty. perhaps if we speak the same language as balanchine we can achieve his greatness
music: it called oompah cause it go oom and then it go pah

#This is so good and so pure #Marching bands are a gift to this world and im so glad they can help and do such good things in this time of crisis #Music heals #Also whoevers idea it was to create an lgbt marching band is a genius
not that you really asked, but that would be jon sims, a music teacher and leader in the san francisco gay community who founded both the first gay marching band and the first gay men’s chorus in 1978!
Sims is best known for founding the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Marching Band and the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus. In 1978, he decided the local Gay Freedom Day parade could use more music. He posted fliers around town, ultimately gathering together a few wind and percussion instrumentalists to form a marching band.
In June 1978, a block of 70 musicians led by a skinny music teacher in jeans swung onto Market Street playing “California, Here I Come.” The crowds along the length of the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade went wild as they passed by. They knew a radical act when they saw one. Jon Sims and the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Marching Band & Twirling Corps stepped out of the closet and into a tableau of Americana by marching down “Main Street” in their community’s parade. The headlines that year were filled with stories of Anita Bryant campaigning against gay rights, and in California, the Briggs Ballot Initiative threatened to ban gay teachers from California classrooms. At a time when losing your job or your children for being gay was a given, and gay rights and repeal initiatives appeared on ballots across the continent, a gay marching band was heady stuff. Behind them, Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official, rode in an open convertible plastered with his motto, “Come out, come out, wherever you are,” and the band answered with a musical flourish.
That same year, the Gay Men’s Chorus made its debut performance at a candlelight vigil at City Hall after the assassinations of Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone.
What was supposed to be a summertime-only effort morphed into a permanent fixture. Today, the marching band claims to be the world’s first openly, publicly identified gay cultural art group.
Following the creation of the San Francisco Band, lesbian/gay bands quickly sprang up in Los Angeles, New York City, Houston, Chicago, and other cities across the continent. Today, there are more than 25 bands in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe in the Lesbian and Gay Band Association (LGBA). In September 1982, these bands formed LGBA which has supported the formation of new bands and performed en masse at such milestone events as an electrifying first concert at the Hollywood Bowl (1984), the ’87, ’93, and 2000 marches on Washington, Gay Games’ opening and closing ceremonies, and Presidential Inaugural celebrations for Bill Clinton (twice) and Barack Obama (twice).
not enough people are familiar with him today, because he died of aids in 1984, at age 37. but he left an incredible legacy of music which has been a force of healing for almost 40 years.
