My surprise!

I mentioned a while back that I had a little something up my sleeve for the 4th. Well I got bored today and finished my surprise, so here it is.

 The music you hear is me playing my trumpet. I added the pictures to make it more...interesting.(All pics were taken and edited by me. )
There are seven Odyssey characters hiding through out the clip. Can you spot them?
(Note: The picture quality on some is worse than others.sorry..... Also some characters are harder to spot than others. Will give answers in comments after a couple comments.)

On the Odyssey Way Original Joe has done an interview with Harlow err..David Harl....well you'll get the picture once you give it a listen.

Well that's about all for now. Let me know what you thought of the clip in the comments. This is Freddy Jay saying "See ya next time."

5 hours of playing and now my lips feel like jello

To see a sneak peak of what the new cover for album five may look like(still in draft process),Check out  Odyssey Way, or The Odyssey Times.

On Odyssey Times, you can vote on what the New logo for it could be, don't miss out.

Odyssey Connection: Today I participated in a band thing we call Band festival. It's where people from different bands from schools in the area come together to play as one big band. We started at 1 o'clock and practiced till quarter till six. (So a little over five hours.) Then we played the five songs that we practiced as a concert for the parents and people that came. It was really fun playing with a HUGE band for a change. There was lower instruments, something my band doesn't have. Also I found out that there are four different kinds of saxophones, and saw a funny looking instrument that I think was a bassoon. At one point I thought of Wooton. How he can play Camp town Races on a lot of different instruments. Saxophone, organ, banjo...maybe more I can't think of any others at the moment. I don't think we've heard him play it on the trumpet though...maybe that's the one instrument he can't play. I can almost picture Wooton attempting to play the trumpet, but not being able to buzz right...but then again maybe he just hasn't had the opportunity to play one yet.

 This is Freddy Jay saying  "It's that late?.....Time to hit the hay."

Album 51 back cover

They just revealed what the back cover of  album 51 looks like.

In other news, the Odyssey Scoop is considering changing its blog design a little bit.I can't really explain what they are thinking on doing, to get more details, and give your input, go to Odyssey scoop. I kinda like their idea though. It would in a way go with the rest of the site in making it more modern.

Trumpet

Odyssey Connection: Well a couple weeks ago, in band we had a substitute teacher. Everyone was warming up individually, so I decided to play the Star Spangled Banner. After a few measures a few people stopped playing. I continued not really noticing a change in the noise. Then when I got to the higher, "And the rockets Red glare" part, the room was completely silent, with all eyes on me listening tentatively to my trumpet playing. Once I realized everyone (18 or 19 people in our band) was listening I stopped. They urged me to finish it up, so I did. This moment felt like me fifteen minutes of fame. Like the Alex when he broke the mini golf record and the other guy from Fifteen minutes who had his big break with a TV show that then went down the tubes and was forgotten. I'm not sure if I'd consider this my "fifteen minutes" or not. It was fun though...Maybe next year I'll play the Star Spangled Banner as a solo at a Basketball game...
