UT Big Band Concert

Earlier this week, Mom and I drove over to Knoxville to attend the UT Big Band Fall Concert, featuring our favorite drummer! This was our first college concert to attend and it was a lot of fun! Daniel has been in smaller jazz combo groups each semester that he's been in college, but this was the first year he was selected to be the drummer for the Big Band.

What also made the concert special was getting to see some of Daniel's friends in the band. Trumpeter John Dooley (pictured above) and Daniel have been in school and band together since the fifth grade at Meigs Magnet Middle! The pianist in the UT Big Band is Daniel's good friend and suitemate, Aaron Mastin. It was good to see Daniel in his element and hear this great performance by the Big Band!
