So yesterday was the faculty Rockband Concert!!!!!!
For those of you who are not familiar with Manchester College customs, this means that the faculty dropped their semi-professional personas and replaced them with raucous musical instruments...
My Analytical Chemistry professor took up a bass guitar, my Physics professor took up a drum set, several electric guitars and a freaking flute!!!! (And lemme just say that the flute has probably got to be one of the sexiest instruments ever...next to the violin, of course...) The Botany professor totally killed some Santana with his supafly guitar skillz, and one of the most demure English/Gender Studies professors belted "Proud Mary" as if she were some kind of diva... Needless to say the entire experience was fabulous.
Katharine Ings is hot. She did this whole intro thing where she talked all salaciously and such. It was mildly uncomfortable, but it was still a good time. She was backed up by 3 other professors (Kate Eisenbise - she teaches my Christian Traditions class, and Jena Oke - an art professor and some other professor I've never had before...) Anyways, they opened the show, and it was wonderful...
It only got better after that because Dr. Clark switched out his drum set for a flute and just blew everyone away..and right after that, he picked up a guitar and performed "Money" (originally by Pink Floyd) with Dr. Hicks and Judd Case (One of the most fabulous communications professors ever!)
Later, prof. Case took the lead on Bon Jovi's "It's My Life." and in the nature of a true communications professor, he used a talk box...A legit talk box. That's hella cool.
Anyways. The entire show was amazing. Siren and I were rather stunned and amazed at how fluid all of the professors were. We were also convinced that perhaps Katharine Ings would end the show by singing a Lady GaGa number...Sadly to say, the final song was infact Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." I could've just killed everyone in that damn audience..I despise Journey...and that damn song is still stuck in my head...
Whatever. I'm still swooning from Greg's fabulous flute playin' and his stunning guitar skillz (he double picked like a champ!) I just wish it could have lasted longer... I hope I can get a tape from Jenna. I will totally post it if I can get my hands on one...
