This weekend was my very first performance with the Mixtapes! We performed for NYU Woodwind Day, as part of an agreement with our Steinhardt faculty liason. We have a space reserved every week in the Steinhardt building and in order for this to be possible, we have to have a staff liason. Our liason happens to be involved in the woodwind program, and as a favor to him we perform for Woodwind day. It was an interesting experience, I'd say, but very fun!
We had three mics, two for the solos and one for our beatboxer. There wasn't any other mic that was picking up the rest of the group, so all I could really hear was the soloists and our beatboxer because they were the only ones with any amount of amplification. But the acoustics in that theater are weird because I could hardly hear the people immediately next to me. Besides the weird acoustics, we had really good energy and (from what I could hear) we sounded really good. I had a geek moment onstage where I was like "Hey, I'm part of this really cool a capella group. And we sound really good. I'm so excited!!!" This mini performance definitely got me excited for our concert which is coming up in about two weeks, which is crazy to think about.
