Kaleidoscope.

So, WTF. Kaleidoscope kicked mucho asso. Earlier icky events of the day were undone by the kickassness that was Kaleidoscope.

It started off well. I love Mister Brislin. I will try to recreate here his intro speech:

Good evening. My name's Kevin Brislin, one of the co-directors of the Kaleidoscope concert. Now, this year's Kaleidoscope is a bit different. Well, actually, a lot different. We've revamped the entire thing. There is no twenty minute opening of children in brightly colored shirts swirling around to techno music. There is no intermission. There is no two and a half hour performance. Instead, there are five acts, all pretty much student created.

Now, we do have a few rules for the concert. Please, no food or drink inside the Kaleidoscope. If you simply must call Aunt Edna to tell her when your baby goes on stage, you can do that, but please, don't have her call you. In the case of an emergency, the floor lights will be lit, and direct you to your nearest exit, in the rear of the theater. Yes, the one you came in. In case depressurization of the Kaleidoscope, breathing masks will drop from the ceiling. Please put your own mask on first before your children's, unless, of course, you don't want to. In the case of a flooding Kaleidoscope, the seat cushions could be used as a flotation device, but we wouldn't reccomend it. You must be this ((*hold hand about an inch above ground*)) tall to ride Kaleidoscope. And, most importantly-

Non fumar de Kaleidoscopè! Enjoy the show.

The first thing was the silent movie, in which I did music and foley art, which went hysterically well, especially when 'Charlie' (Kyle) came out during the transition to the next act and I got to chase him with a large gong mallet.

The next act was Linear Ear-Quations, which was basically taking the linear plane and lining the Y axis up with pitch on the staff and the X axis up with measures(time) so it created music. Funky, wild music, that the Jazz Band did an improv on. It was coolness.

Then there was 'Off The Wall, On the Floor'. There were three parts, in which art was projected onto a screen onstage and these awesome dancers did interpretations of it to music. It was cool.
