49
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.240

51
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.599

<v Speaker 1>Grady had such an awesome performance at Okay If you

114
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 1>didn't get a chance to see him out there at

115
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 1>will Rock on that ninth stage, I like that setup.

116
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>That setup was really wonderful. But I got to tell

117
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 1>you that was probably one of the smoothest performances I've

118
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>seen with the three piece band, and they made it

119
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>sound like an orchestra. Yeah, it was that that was

120
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 1>just puer pleasure the whole time. Nicholas Day we got

121
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>some fun with kids too.

122
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah.

123
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 5>So the last thing we're doing this year is Saint

124
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Nicholas Day on December sixth, where we'll have families enjoying

125

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 5>that out on our website on the especially for kids

127
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.480
<v Speaker 5>tab okay at music dot org.

128
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think all in all, I can kind

129
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 1>of gauge well, had a lot of fun so far

130
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 1>on the summer internship.

131
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Tell us a little bit about your highlight.

132
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I know that being a little bit of a performer

133
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 1>was kind of cool, but everything else of some takeaways

134
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>that folks might not really expect from being an intern.

135
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 6>My takeaways were learning a lot of stuff like marketing,

136
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 6>like stuff you wouldn't like really expect, but just stuff

137
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 6>behind the scenes that I learned that can help me

138
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 6>with like my future jobs. And I've learned so much.

139
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 6>I've got a lot of experience from all of this.

140
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 6>So that was my key.

141
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Takeaway, and Jacob, what was yours?

142
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.800
<v Speaker 5>I think for me some time I'm a music ed major,

143
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 5>getting to work with the kids and help plan some

144
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 5>of the kids events. I was really really helpful for

145
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 5>me and I really enjoyed that.

146
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Joshelle, I always love meeting the performers every year. Like

147
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I said, these are world class musicians coming out to

148
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Bartlesville and Tulsa, So it's a really great opportunity to

149
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 3>meet them and hear what they have to say. For

150
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>young musicians like.

151
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Me, there you go.

152
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, you play a violin and she plays it

153
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 1>almost like effortlessly, like you and I will breathe. She's

154
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 1>all over that thing and she can sing at the

155
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>same time. So I'm imagining some of those artists are

156
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>asking you questions like how do you do that?

157
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes? Now you're going to what school? This show?

158
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 3>Oklahoma State?

159
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State, and Jacob, I'm going to owe you.

160
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 6>I go to University of Arizona.

161
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh very good. Yeah, we got a transplant it here

162
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 2>like that. Yeah.

163
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>But this has all been a very fun year and

164
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:07.879
<v Speaker 1>still lots more to go.

165
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Again.

166
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I want everyone to visit the website. It took a

167
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of work to make it so easy to travel on.

168
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm in my mid sixties and I don't get lost

169
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>there anywhere else hits the crap shoot, but I can

170
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>navigate this one pretty well. And if you want to

171
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>learn a little bit more about the scholarships, you want

172
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to learn more about Octoberfesson, what kind of fun that's

173
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>going to entail, if you want to get ready for

174
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a whole new kind of Chris Kindle market as well

175
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>as prepare for giving Tuesday Saint Nicholas Day, or just

176
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 1>find out more about OKAM music.

177
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 2>And how this all got.

178
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Started many many years ago, I think forty one and

179
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a half years ago.

180
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying yeah, I'm getting the high sight. Yeah,

181
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>you pass the man test.

182
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I just go to okmmusic dot org. Do we still

183
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>have the Sugar Plumb shop hanging out there at the

184
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.039
<v Speaker 1>main office.

185
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 6>Yes, we do. We just had a giveaway, a bunch

186
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 6>of giveaways yesterday for July first. It turned out very good.

187
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 6>But we're open from ten to five every day except

188
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 6>Saturdays and Sundays. But there's a lot of good stuff

189
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.080
<v Speaker 6>in there. You can find some good finds in there.

190
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Well. My daughter and Miss Susie I had the privilege

191
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>of performing with this year with the Suns of Beaches,

192
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and right before our show they saw some yummies in there.

193
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>They can't keep them away from the candy. But you

194
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of live up to that sugar plum business there

195
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.879
<v Speaker 1>with that, so that sounds pretty good. But you got

196
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of souvenirs and everything else, don't you.

197
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have lots of gifts. We have different holiday items,

198
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 3>home decors, kitchen, just about anything you need you can

199
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 3>hop in there find that, And I would say it's

200
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 3>a great stop if you're looking to buy someone a present.

201
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, and also you can make a few friends in

202
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>there too, because the office help is really wonderful, very friendly,

203
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and if you have any questions about OKM, they'll do

204
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>everything they can in order to get that answered. And

205
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you might even see mister John and zipping around he

206
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.440
