The Blues Make it Better

From November 7-9th Nova Southeastern held it's annual Blues festival.  I was looking forward to it for so long, but the day before I got very sick.  I was so upset that I did not think I could go, but my friends knew me better than that.  My friends knew that I was going to go anyway, so instead of fighting me, just went with me.  
Even though I was sick, I still managed to have fun.  There was great food, great music and a phenomenal atmosphere.  The music went on all night and I made may friends stay and listen with me.  We sat on the grass watching the little kids run by chasing each other, and the older couples dancing around.  I love music, in all its forms, and especially love the saxophone.  There were quite a few extremely talented saxophone players, along with all the other talented musicians.    
I am very happy that our campus held this event.  I feel that bringing things like this around create more variety in people's lives.  From what I have seen, I do not think many students listen to the blues, and because of this event they had the chance to experience to open their cultural boundaries and indulge in something new.  I appreciate that the school holds such events and am looking forward to attending any more in the future as student here at Nova.
