The perfect dream
It started with a vision, just like any new idea. The vision never seemed like a good idea to begin with. Everyone hated the idea but one man just kept on going. He had to be crazy to take on something so unrealistic. Everyone was so comfortable; they were so comfortable that they were asleep. It started off in the ghettos then trickled its way up to the suburbs, once it got started there was no turning back. To this day no one really knew why one person chose such a task. A gun went off then he awoke from his dream. If only people could see the vision like he did. That's how it starts, people laugh at first because of the idea. Some even call you crazy. A few people tag along and in the end you end up inspiring others to believe in things that they thought were impossible. Some people are lost along the way and you may even die alone. The perfect dream starts with an idea. An idea that everyone doubts and no one believes will come true. You start climbing and you learn and meet new people along the way. Then once your journey is over you awake in the place where all dreams begin. You awake not knowing who you inspired, not knowing who you let down, but most of all you awake not knowing that you did the impossible. You created the perfect dream and the perfect mountain for someone else to climb. Long live the dreamer.

Why art is important:
Did you know that when a country is overtaken by war that some leaders assign a special unit to steal all of the artifacts? Indigenous cultures all around the globe have had to deal with invaders. When this happens, customs and cultures often merge into the appearance of the inhabitants. To find truth in historical facts, a historian must examine art. The expressions of indigenous cultures create a timeline for all mankind to connect the dots and understand their natural origins. Art plays an important role when extracting the facts about history.

A simple description on how to make music:
Although there are many tricks used in making music, the only real rule is to stay organized. There's a lot of ways to learn how to make music but as long as you understand that music is simply just organized noise, you can expand your creativity. Once you learn all of the terms and standards that professionals use, the main concept is staying in tune and being creative. Anyone can make music but those who master the art find ways to take old habits and renew them with different sounds and techniques.

The Dream Band
I wonder why they keep all of the money in a safe. It almost seems like everything is worth something. Why does water float in space in the shape of a planet? I see kids in Africa playing music on animal skin. Why do their dancers seem happier than mine? I see singers singing in front of a class with a chalkboard then the students clap. If I fly to an island to play, am I worth more there than what I'm worth in my hometown? Will anyone like my organized band? Will they dance to my computer songs? Will there be a plug to play my CD? I wonder what they'll think of my dream band. Even if they don't feel the music, I'll sing a song from my heart. When I'm done I'll throw up a peace sign and scream an old school, "Word is born!"

What is a scrim?
A scrim is a see through curtain that allows light, people or objects that are behind the curtain to pass through. It adds a magical feeling on stage when a light is bouncing off of a person in which the shadow appears to be dancing or moving. A scrim is also useful when adding a fashion technique to a performance by using motion lights bouncing while a character is dancing behind the scrim. You may also see scrims on stage just to add a certain type of mood to the performance. If you've ever seen a curtain with a blue or selected color bouncing off of it than most likely it was a scrim.
