So Long 2022, Hello 2023!

12/13/2022

1 Comment

 
Wow...and just like that, 2023 is right around the corner! What a year it's been!

I am beyond grateful for all of the performing and music making that was accomplished this past year! I had many wonderful performance opportunities with my brothers in Ball in the House this past year:
  • Touring the Midwest back in March and November
  • Giving hundreds of school assemblies, regular shows, and masterclasses
  • Participating as featured artists, along with The Filharmonic, at the Nordonia A Cappella Festival in Macedonia, OH back in February
  • Being the headlining act for ACA-Pocalypse back in May at Chelmsford High School in Chelmsford, MA
  • Educational Residencies in Dubuque, IA and Newton, MA
  • Performing at my old high school -- absolutely surreal!
  • Continuing to produce, write, and record our new album!

​We were plenty busy, and blessed, with all of this work! Be on the look out for updates with our new music and album come the new year!​

Speaking of the new year...by far the biggest and greatest news of all...
my wife and I are expecting a baby boy this coming April!! We are absolutely over the moon! We're a little over half way there -- 23 weeks now! -- and we are resting, reading up, learning plenty of Dad jokes, and getting ready for his big arrival! Some words from your parents for you, our sweet boy:

May you see a world with wide eyes and an open heart,
May you find and follow your passions, wherever you go.
We are always here for you, through thick and thin.
We believe in you now, and are excited to see who you will become.
Be kind. Trust yourself. Do good. Never give up.
"We'll love you forever, we'll like you for always,
As long as we're living, our baby you'll be."

I paraphrased a little with that last part from our favorite book by Robert Munsch. We can't wait to read that book to you 😊 We can't wait to welcome you to the world, Baby CG!

Happy Holidays to all! Excited for the new year, as I already have some exciting master classes and work booked in 2023! With the new ICCA/ICHSA season upon us, I am happy to come in and work with your #acappella group, in any capacity!
​Reach out any time, and let's chat!
May you all have a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year!

BALL IN THE HOUSE SINGS NEW WCTV JINGLE!

4/21/2021

0 Comments

 

So a month ago, Executive Director of Wilmington Community Television (WCTV - Wilmington, MA)  Ryan Malyar, after a morning of running several virtual school shows for Ball in the House, day dreamingly said something along the lines of, "It'd be cool if WCTV had a jingle, we've always wanted one!"

So the next day, Dave Guisti (fellow bandmate in BitH) came up with a melody (he recorded it on his phone) and sent it to the rest of the band, and with that...well, I ran with it! I arranged the rest of the jingle around Dave's melody, recorded the guys within the day, and then edited and mixed it on the weekend...and here was the final result! This was SUPER cool to produce, and a great team effort on all fronts!
