. . . a cappella . . .

. . . yes, today is music appreciation,

part two . . .

. . . let's go back in time . . .

. . . waaaaaaaaaay back in time . . .

. . . back to the day

when yearbook photos

were black and white . . .

. . . back to the day

when the "new" mesa high

really was new . . .

. . . back to my senior year . . .

. . . first hour ~ mr garrett's aid . . .

{he, of course, was our much beloved choir director}

. . . second hour ~ accompanist

for the arizonans choir . . .

. . . third hour ~ seminary . . .

. . . fourth hour ~ a cappella . . .

{1974-75 mesa high school a cappella choir ~ aren't we fancy?}

{also ~ it's tricky to scan yearbook pages!}

{also, also ~ "where's steph?" is a fun game to play! can you find me?}

. . . then, lunch . . .

{usually golden scone or lj's pizza}

. . . fifth hour ~ english literature . . .

. . . sixth hour ~ home ec . . .

. . . after school ~ superstitions . . .

{the mhs version of glee}

{1974-75 mhs superstitions ~ in color ~ see? we're not that old!}

{aka farmers & farmerettes

~ our nickname for ourselves ~

gotta love those costumes ~ overall maxi dresses!}

{also ~ why is steph the only one laughing?}

{also, also ~ why is kevin smith closing his eyes?}

. . . clearly

~ though not a band geek ~

i was a music nerd . . .

. . . high school was awesome . . .

. . . even considering the drama . . .

{flashbacks ~ as i reading some stuff friends wrote this morning ~ so fun!}

. . . fast forward . . .

. . . do you know what a cappella means? . . .

. . . the simplified definition is

"singing without instruments" . . .

. . . in a word ~ ahhhhmazing . . .

. . . you really should watch

the sing-off . . .

. . . specifically my favorite group . . .

. . . byu's vocal point . . .

. . . need proof? . . .

. . . go ahead and

watch this performance

from three weeks ago . . .

{the video isn't the best quality, but you'll get the idea}

. . . watch to the end for judge's comments

~ especially ben folds ~

he's my fave . . .

. . . i have it on *good authority

that tonight's show

will be legendary for these guys . . .

. . . they'll be performing

a little rascal flatts ditty

that will not soon be forgotten . . .

. . . it might make

a music nerd out of you, too! . . .
