Here's a story about Aaron Phillips... Born on Febuary 2nd, 1986 in Anaheim California... He always loved to tap dance, but his father said he didn't want him to grow up and be a flamer... Still today all he wants to do is sing and dance... Now when he got a little older, he went to school and made fun of people to make himself feel better, especially this one cute girl... he then took up the saxophone and bass clarient and became the dork he was meant to be... He made it into jazz band, and never left since...
He has a deep love fot the art of improvisation, and still to this day is striving
to learn how to do it... He then went to OCHSA and tried to play jazz yet
again, to no avail... he did meet this really nice girl who was the best thing
that would probably ever happen in his life, but he threw it away for a
reasoning that it was just his first loveto go with a slezzy opera singer!?! and
she treated him like crap... a summer of depression followed, and the girl he
had firs loved had no intrest in him anymore, so he decided to not be a bum
and go to college...Why he picked to go to Cal State Long Beach for jazz,
nobody knows... Now he is in his first year of college, a student of Leo
Potts... Playing classical saxophone and performing with the one o'clock lab
band and sax ensemble and university
sax quintet... he then joined an a cappella group called sol-fej to make
some extra dough... he sings soprano, and also is the fattest person in the
group(go figure)... someday he hopes to find the love he lost, but until
then he can only go imto the practice room
and play some more lindamen....
