Hello!!
I am Erin Semple- the bassist, not our wonderful classmate Erin not Semple, but here is a picture of us (I’m on the right)!
I’m at Converse for music therapy and I started playing bass right when I was 10 years old, but I played violin for a year beforehand! My family currently lives outside of Charleston, SC, but I’m originally from a very small town in southeast Pennsylvania. Though I’ve always loved music, I never considered pursuing anything music related in college until my junior year of high school, and I was planning to be a performance major. I found out about music therapy my senior year (thank you to my best friend, Scout) and it fascinated me. I’ve been hooked ever since, but music therapy is my other favorite subject!
Outside of school, I love to bake, specifically cookies (specifically chocolate chip oatmeal, ginger snaps, and Russian tea cakes), but I’ll make almost anything. Additionally, I really like embroidery, playing Animal Crossing, and reading. I’ve also grown up traveling with my family since I have extended family all over the world. Here is a picture of me at the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road!
2. Walk-up song! I love High School Musical 2 (and all of the High School Musical movies) and Sharpay is my favoriteeeeee. I watch all of these movies on a regular basis and I love all of the music (especially the singing and dancing with basketballs), the mid/late 2000s vibe, and the characters. This song is fabulous (joke intended) and I think it would be a great walk-up song.
3. Music that isn’t my favorite! There’s not a lot of music that I don’t connect with at all, but Benson Boone fits into that group. I’ve never been a fan of this song, but the fact that it has been so overplayed definitely has not helped. While the song is catchy, I’m not always the biggest fan of pop music and I think some of the lyrics are weird.
Hello Erin! Love all of your song choices! I particularly love your walk up song. I would have never thought about that song being a walk up song, buttt it is literally perfect! I also agree with the feeling that Benson Boone's music has been very overplayed.
ReplyDeleteAlsooo what girl from our generation didn't have a One Direction phase.
Hi Erin! First off, wow, I'm jealous of your travel ventures, the great ocean road is one of my bucket list items - very cool that you went there. As you stated, the lyricism in your top song pick category is quite good and her vocal timbre is beautiful. It seems like you have a very interesting (in a good way) taste in music.
ReplyDeleteHey Erin!
ReplyDeleteWOW it seems you also have a variety of a music taste and can cook up some good food. It’s sorta sad that Benson Boone made the list of music that isn’t commonly apart of your playlist. I’m glad to see that you’ve had the opportunity to travel and expand your horizons of culture and music and hopefully that will benefit you when you graduate and possibly help others! I appreciate your response and I hope you have a great rest of your semester!
Best Wishes!

Erin! I LOVE the One Direction song you chose, it is probably one of their best from the instruments to their vocals. Also it's okay that it took you a while to actually listen to them, it also took me a while unfortunately. For your walk up song, I saw High School Musical and I was fully expecting 'I Don't Dance' but I saw it was Fabulous and it completely unlocked a whole new way to vibe to that song and I love that.
ReplyDeleteHiii Erin!!! “Fabulous” as your walk-up song is iconic. It's giving baddie entrance. I grew up on Disney movies and was SO obsessed with High School Musical… and honestly, I still am 😏. I also gotta agree with you about “Mystical Magical” by Benson Boone. I remember when it blew up on social media and was nonstop on my FYP. After a while it started feeling more like a song people make little jokes to rather than one you actually feel emotionally.
ReplyDeleteHey Erin. I too love embroidery, animal crossing, and reading!! Also now I have a new singer to add to my library, I have never heard of Delaney Bailey but now I do so thank you! I also think that your walkup song is perfect and very fitting. And also I agree I do not get moonbeam icecream.
