The Arts

Transcript

Next up, we have Lance, a senior from Mobile, Alabama, majoring in communication and anthropology, and minoring in French. He’s gonna tell us about the thriving art scene at Tulane and in new Orleans. Let’s hear it, Lance.

– Hey, y’all. Back in high school, I was a part of my school’s choir and I spent a good bit of my time singing. Coming to college, I knew I wanted to continue my involvement with music, whether it be through academics or extracurriculars. Here at Tulane, the arts are accessible to all students regardless of their major. Although I didn’t end up majoring in music, I still had the opportunity to stay involved. During my first year, I became a member of Green Envy, one of Tulane’s seven acapella groups. Through Green Envy, I’ve had the opportunity to perform at many Tulane events like festivals and commencement. And I’ve also performed at many local New Orleans events like Pelicans NBA games. You can always find live music on Tulane’s campus and across the city of New Orleans. Some of my favorite music festivals include Voodoo Fest and Jazz Fest. We love our music here and we appreciate the rest of the arts just as much. In fact, Tulane offers dance, theater, and studio art majors taught by industry leaders. If you’re interested in the arts, you’ll have the opportunity to take classes ranging from acting to ballet to glassblowing. I’ll have you know, Tulane is home to the largest glassblowing studio on any college campus in the country. When you come to Tulane, you’ll have every opportunity to get involved with the arts in any way you’d like. I may have spent my time singing and jamming out to some great music, but who knows what you’ll accomplish once you’re here. All right, y’all. That’s all from me. Alex, take it away.

– Whoa, Lance. It is amazing learning how you were able to continue pursuing your passion in music, even though you wanted to major in something else. There really are no limits to what you can do right here at Tulane. Thanks again, Lance.
