I decided to interview some of the members of the drum line that often go out and play sports together. Over the past year and a half, I saw that playing sports really helped to bring the group closer together. Myself and other members of the group have formed strong bonds because of the time we spent together outside of playing music together. Since my course topic is intramural sports, this story was a natural fit. I was inspired by different interviewers that I’ve listened to over the years. Tom Rinaldi is someone that I really admire and that really influenced the questions that I asked. I think he’s a fantastic interviewer and his style is something I try to emulate. I tried to keep the questions as short as possible and the let the people I interviewed tell the story of our group and the bonds we’ve formed. I conducted the the interviews out in public, and some of the background noise made it into the recordings. I think that gives the audio a little bit more character and makes it more interesting to listen to. I interviewed three of the members of the drum line, Jared Grace, Logan Gallinger, and Matteo Corneto. I interviewed Jared before a rehearsal and I interviewed Matteo and Logan while we were hanging out one night. I recorded my voice overs in a practice room in the Kimborough music building. From there, I just put the audio into Audition and edited out and awkward pauses in the interviews to make the audio flow more cohesively from person to person. Logan’s interview had a few ums and uhs so I did my best to edit his audio to make it flow better. The background from Jared’s interview was a little loud, especially in the beginning, so I decided not to use that audio.
