Better than last year&#8217;s dare I say? I also have some really fun ideas with regards to attire for the concert, but we&#8217;ll see what Kati and the guys (Nick and Clark) will think and vote on.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also really enjoying planning this concert for Kati because she has similar tastes in music as I do; that is, more Pop music than Classical &#8211; and Musicals too!\u00a0<em>How cool is that??<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The guys and I have also finally selected the songs for the concert which are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Call Me Maybe<\/li>\n<li>Rolling in the Deep<\/li>\n<li>Viva La Vida<\/li>\n<li>Somebody That I Used to Know<\/li>\n<li>Simple Gifts<\/li>\n<li>Fanfare for the common man<\/li>\n<li>Climb Ev\u2019ry Mountain<\/li>\n<li>Chim Chim Cher-ee<\/li>\n<li>Original Composition for Kati by Nick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m a little hesitant at posting the song selections since I still need to research the copyright and get the performance licenses first, but what&#8217;s a concert without a few last minute song selection changes, right? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s nice about collaborating with Clark and Nick, besides their wonderful caring personalities? It&#8217;s the skills and talents they bring to the table. Clark is the &#8220;face&#8221; of these concerts and will meet with the nominee and their parents so we are able to create a special concert tailored specifically to their preferences! He&#8217;s also our &#8220;go-to-guy,&#8221; when we need to find venues and obscure instruments, like tubular chimes! <em>Who has those&#8230;??<\/em> And this year, we&#8217;ll need a timpani! <em>Seriously Nick, are you selecting obscure instruments just to mess with us?<\/em> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s Nick &#8211; our composer extraordinaire! He will be researching the songs and creating arrangements of Kati&#8217;s favorite songs and also creating an original composition for her. Nick is also our website expert and will make sure that I don&#8217;t run amok with this website.<\/p>\n<p>Although missing from last year&#8217;s concert is my favorite cellist Clayton Vaughn who was instrumental (<em>pun intended!<\/em>) in creating the Boulder Cello Project and who led all of our rehearsals last year. <em>I miss you Clayton!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After this blog entry is completed, the next few items on my agenda is copyright\/license research, sending out notifications to musicians regarding our concert, firming up dates and times for rehearsals, and learning more WordPress!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to a great start to the concert,<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;color: #993366;font-size: large\">~<em>gemma<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"quickshare-container\">\r\n\t<ul class=\"quickshare-genericons monochrome quickshare-effect-spin quickshare-effect-expand quickshare-small\">\r\n\t\t<li class=\"quickshare-share\">Share:<\/li> \r\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcelloexpressions.com%2Fbcp-chase%2F2014%2F03%2F21%2Ffirst-post%2F&amp;t=First+post%21+<+A+Concert+for+Kati\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><span class=\"quickshare-facebook\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcelloexpressions.com%2Fbcp-chase%2F2014%2F03%2F21%2Ffirst-post%2F&amp;text=First+post%21+<+A+Concert+for+Kati\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Twitter\"><span class=\"quickshare-twitter\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcelloexpressions.com%2Fbcp-chase%2F2014%2F03%2F21%2Ffirst-post%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fcelloexpressions.com%2Fbcp-chase%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F5%2F2014%2F03%2Ffirst-blog-post-400x266.jpg&amp;description=I%27m+testing+and+learning+how+to+use+WordPress+and+am+doing+my+first+WordPress+blog+post%21%C2%A0SWEET%21+%3B%29+We%27ve+been+busy+firming+up+details+for+Kati%27s+concert%2C+and+so+far+I+think+it%27s+going+to+be+an+AWESOME+concert%21+Better+than%26hellip%3B\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\"><span class=\"quickshare-pinterest\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcelloexpressions.com%2Fbcp-chase%2F2014%2F03%2F21%2Ffirst-post%2F&amp;title=First+post%21&amp;source=A+Concert+for+Kati&amp;summary=I%27m+testing+and+learning+how+to+use+WordPress+and+am+doing+my+first+WordPress+blog+post%21%C2%A0SWEET%21+%3B%29+We%27ve+been+busy+firming+up+details+for+Kati%27s+concert%2C+and+so+far+I+think+it%27s+going+to+be+an+AWESOME+concert%21+Better+than%26hellip%3B\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"quickshare-linkedin\">Linkedin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcelloexpressions.com%2Fbcp-chase%2F2014%2F03%2F21%2Ffirst-post%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Google+\"><span class=\"quickshare-googleplus\">Google+<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=A+Concert+for+Kati:+First+post%21&amp;body=https%3A%2F%2Fcelloexpressions.com%2Fbcp-chase%2F2014%2F03%2F21%2Ffirst-post%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share via Email\"><span class=\"quickshare-email\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m testing and learning how to use WordPress and am doing my first WordPress blog post!\u00a0SWEET! \ud83d\ude09 We&#8217;ve been busy firming up details for Kati&#8217;s concert, and so far I think it&#8217;s going to be an AWESOME concert!
