Musical Talents In The Colonel By Jazz Band And Concert Band

Music is one of the many talents I would bring to Colonel By. Since grade two, music has played a significant role in my life because it is a different form of expression for the thoughts and emotions that are in my head. I really enjoy playing diverse melodies and hearing how distinct sounds can come together to create a single harmony. It is my hope to share my existing musical talents in the Colonel By Jazz Band and Concert Band as well as further develop my techniques with those who are more experienced.
My talent for sports is another element that I would bring to Colonel By. For several years, I have participated in a variety of different sporting activities, including long distance running, track and field, swimming, volleyball, skating,

    Jazz Concert Report Sample

    On Friday, July 10th, the local instrumental jazz group Yuma Jazz Company played at Lutes Casino for a couple of hours. The instrumentation was fairly standard for a jazz group, with trumpet, saxophone, guitar, double bass, and drums (I believe those were electric). The guitar and bass, along with the drums, served as a sort of basso continuo, generally backing the horns, but occasionally taking up the melody for themselves, resulting in a texture that was thinly polyphonic. Also noticeable was the “fabulous light up tip jar,” a colorful accompaniment to their music. The concert ran from 7 to 9 PM, so I went in not only with the intention of listening to the group but also with a good meal in mind.…

    Glenn Miller's Jazz Standards

    Jazz began in the late 18th century in African-American communities in New Orleans. Soon these vocal tunes made by African-Americans turned into piano songs, and soon enough evolved into the Jazz we know and love today. In modern Jazz, there are pieces that are considered “Jazz Standards”, one major contributor to these standards is the trombone player and Big Band Jazz composer, Glenn Miller. Glenn Miller lived a short yet interesting life, he differed from his competitors and left a dazzling legacy on the Jazz community.…

    Case Study: Marching Pioneers

    Successful organizations all require 2 things: a strong team and strong leaders to direct the team to victory, and the Marching Pioneers is no exception to this rule. With an ensemble as large as the Marching Pioneers, there is no physically possible way 4 top tier leaders can give everyone the attention they need. Section leaders are necessary for the success of our fine organization, and there’s nothing more satisfying than being part of a leadership team that can add to the already growing success of this talented group. Here are just a few reasons why I would like to be in the next generation of saxophone section leaders. To be a section leader is like being given a lump of clay and being told to mold into the Statue of David.…

    When I go college, I do not want to give up my favorite activities, but rather, build upon established interests and create new ones. Honestly, I do not know all of the activities in which I may participate while attending university. This is not because I do not know what I like; I just that I have not been exposed to these things yet. Although my personality is not fully molded, I actively search for novel and fulfilling experiences relating to music, food, and travel.…

    Personal Narrative: Marching Band

    "Good better best, never let it rest, 'till your good is better and your better is best." These simple words were spoken to me by my high school band director Cheldon Williams on the first day of my high school experience. This, followed by my experience of marching band and my eventual learning of piano sparked a period of introspective thought, and mental growth, that transcended to where I am today. Never in my life did I think my hard work and dedication inspired by Mr. Williams words would land me at Interlochen Center for the Performing Arts Boarding School. These words became a core part of what I am, and from freshman year on would encourage me to never set a limit on my potential, and my overall worth.…

    The Colonel Summary

    The flow of energy in Carolyn Forche's “The Colonel” is subtle yet still present within the ever-changing flow of the short story. “The Colonel” is about the average household life of the Colonel who does a not so average thing after dinner by dumping a grocery bag full of human ears onto the dinner table. The overall pace of the story was perfect for allowing the reader to get a glimpse into the average life of the Colonel and then allow said reader to experience the rest of the story. Before reading the article I thought that it would be about a man in the military doing heroic deeds, not something as grotesque as collecting human ears. The energy swiftly changed in the small leap of time when the ears were brought to the table despite the…
