This is Christian. I believe that I am now the sole contributor to this blog.
As of today, our Battle of the Bands ranking is improving, and we have more than 100 votes in our favor. We recently recorded a raw, rough cut of "This Is My Life", along with a mash-up cover of "Drops of Jupiter" and "Drift Away" (which use the same chords). I am displeased with my vocals on these takes and intend to re-record soon.
Our new YouTube recordings will be found under the username "beaconhillmusic" as they are posted.

Apparently, it would be possible for us to perform in the Vans Warped Tour if we score high enough on an online poll of Portland bands. Intriguing.

We have quite a few finished songs, and are looking forward to our gig on APRIL 27!
We had an intense practice yesterday, and I really lost my voice.

We've started a new semester, and with it come new possibilities. We've got a gig set for April, and about six or seven finished songs.

final thoughts
so we performed our final project for the band class. we now have a gig pending in April for 2 hours. looks like we've got a lot of writing to do before then. overall I think our musicianship with things such as writing and performing have increased greatly. I am excited as I look forward to see what will become of beacon hill...

Our band's Google project came to an end on Tuesday when we played a live setlist for our final presentation to the class. The songs played were Violent Sky, Grass and Broken. The latter was written during class and may not have surfaced without the project. We aren't sure yet whether the project will continue into next semester, though I hope it does. We've learned a lot about songwriting and musical mindset, and have become better musicians.

Today we decided which songs we'd use for our project presentation, polished and practiced, and made major headway on a new song using lyrics I wrote last night.
