Not Your Average Admissions Blog “A Beneath the Surface Look At Everything College Admissions (with a few shameless plugs)”

In case you missed it from some other posts, I love music. I played in bands most of my life, and paid for my masters program as a DJ in D.C. clubs. I would have a huge music career if not for my stunning lack of talent. Fortunately, I get to have a career that keeps me close to music and to spectacularly talented musicians. Mason’s Music department is among the best in country. In particular, I love working with our incredible University Band, the Green Machine. I had the privilege of speaking at their banquet this year, and hearing about the incredible success of our fairly new drumline and winter guard competition squads. The D.C. area is a great place for musicians in general, and there’s no better university for music in the region than Mason!
