The first week of class is the perfect time to get away. I
believe last quarter I went white water rafting around this time. This quarter,
I ended up at Howl at the Moon, a dueling piano bar in Charlotte.
The event was put together by Melinda. She had won the event almost six months ago, but wanted to maximize the number of Sherman students willing to attend by waiting for a non-boards quarter. It was a smart decision since the Howl at the Moon allowed for a party of 100 people to get in to the bar for free and enjoy party specific specials.
I had fun at the event. A good number of Sherman students came out early to enjoy the buffet style dinner from 5-7; however, the party really started around 9 pm when the 5th quarter crew showed up. It was a lot of fun listening to some of our favorite tunes as requested by the 5 very talented musicians playing for us. We were rocking out to hits like Don’t Stop Believing, Bohemian Rhapsody, Jeremiah was a Bull Frog, and more.
I was amazed how a musician would be looking up the words to a song while asking one of their fellow band mates to just switch instruments “real quick” while they learn the song. This whole process would only take about one minute. It was cool to watch and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
As a group, we also had some fun with the phrase of the night which was posted behind the band… PS. Wade is my Hero.
