My entire life has been filled with music. When I was a little kid, my mother and I would listen to Gloria Estefan in the car and sing at the top of our lungs. As I got older, I decided that I wanted to keep as much music in my life as possible, and that’s why I joined choir. “Keep Calm and Sing On” reminds me that no matter where life takes me, I can drown my troubles or worries with singing. Choir soon lead me to band, where I decided that I would play the alto saxophone. I loved the saxophone so much, that I stuck with it all the way to high school. Believe me when I say that the thought of marching band used to scare the living daylights out of me. Despite my fears, I came to love marching band, and that’s how I’m now one of three drum …show more content…
Drama club has given me so many opportunities. I’ve been in numerous productions, including “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, “The Wizard of Oz”, “Kilroy Was Here”, and “The Sound of Music.” I’ve made many lifelong friends through theater, including one best friend in particular whom is very important to me. I met my best friend, Samuel Gouldsmith, in the seventh grade. We have been best friends ever since, and in January of 2014, we finally started dating! In June of 2015, Samuel enlisted in the Army National Guard. It will be hard to see my best friend leave in January of 2016 for six months so he can attend basic training and AIT, but I will support him every step of the …show more content…
I could watch that movie over and over again in one sitting if someone let me! There’s something about Dennis Quaid’s goofy charm that I just absolutely love! When ABC Family plays “The Parent Trap”, be sure to check my twitter for numerous live tweets straight from my iPhone 6. Call me a basic half-white girl, but I love my iPhone. Apple products are my go-to devices because they never let me down. The camera quality is amazing, iMessage is the best kind of text messaging, and I don’t think things would be the same without emojis to spice things

    Personal Narrative: How Marching Band Changed My Life

    The first risk I ever took was the one that completely changed my life. My middle school band directors were discussing marching band. I asked when the meeting was, and so I went.

    What They Learn In School By Jerome Stern

    I played the clarinet for seven years and began marching band in ninth grade solely because it was required. I didn’t care for it so much and therefore only pursued it for one year after that. Yet, I did enjoy symphonic band because I would prefer to sit on stage, in decent clothing, with air conditioning or heat, and have the opportunity to at least watch the football games on Friday night. In my opinion, it 's a lot more educating too because symphonic band allows students to become more musically inclined and demonstrate their talent individually. While marching band students learn memorization and coordination skills as a group.…

So many kids had a new instrument in their hands; all showing the same emotion of excitement as me.…
