Marching Band Differences

Decent Essays
Life isn’t easy and you have to work very hard to get what you want. I remember working very hard to do my very best at an audition for symphonic band. After marching band we have the option to choose between being in concert band or being in symphonic band. The difference between these two choices is that the symphonic band plays harder music and you have to record yourself playing something assigned by the band teacher. Completing this was a struggle for me because I made many recordings and I didn’t know which one sounded best. I had to practice very hard and concentrate to insert all my effort in trying to sound the best way I could.
Afterwards, I turn it in and they gave the results prior to that I was nervous to see if I had made it.

    This year, our Marching Band got the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee where we encountered the different musical culture they had. We attended The Grand Ole Opry, a concert where many talented country musicians performed live in a giant hall. It was a fascinating experience when we learned about the musician’s lives through their music and what they consider everyday aspect of their lives that we don’t have farther up north. One of the band members got the opportunity to participate in a dance off onstage during one of the breaks, something the whole band celebrated in camaraderie. A museum with all things country music, “Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum” held all kinds of pieces from various dresses and instruments of musicians from…

    As a result of continuous practice and persistence, I became the principal player in my freshman band. Before entering high school band, notwithstanding the effort, I faced financial challenges.

    Ever since I joined band in 4th grade, people have been talking about how excited they were to join marching band. At band day in 5th and 6th grade, everyone else shared how they couldn't wait until they were a 9th grader and could finally be able to perform and play in the stands like we saw the marching band do many times. In 7th and 8th grade, we had a watered down version of marching band that only played two parades. While I was glad to get snare drum both years, the exhilaration was never there, and I came very close to not joining marching band. But against my will, I ended up auditioning for drumline in April and I got the cymbals.…
