We were going to hear them sing, to us, and it was amazing. When you think about seeing someone in concert you think about someone you have been dying to see. The night before we left for Shakopee, I studied the bands, what kind of music they played and what they sounded like. Very few of them became favorites, as I am very picky the kind of music I listen to. I was scared because I was still fairly new to this, but by the end of the night I wasn’t scared…
My heart was pounding so quickly I thought it was going to fly out of my chest. I’ve been waiting almost a month for this and it’s finally happening. I was at The Who concert. My mom told me to pick something fun to do as a graduation present and as soon as I saw the concert online I knew this was the one.…
The group of friends standing right in front of us jumped and sang every word of the songs being sung. We were only 30 seconds into the first song he sang, there was no one in the crowd in sight just standing there. Days before, I remember counting down for the day to approach. Waiting for that day filled with country music, sunshine, cowboy boots, and hats. It was the stereotypical perfect day, i've been waited for this the entire summer, ever since we heard of it on Wild Country 99.…
The thing about running is that you hate it until it’s over, at least for me that’s true. Personally, I like running, and it gives me a chance to get out and work towards something. All throughout high school, I’ve run track, and for two years I ran cross-country, both are great sports. The two years I ran cross-country made me wish I ran all four years. If you’re part of more than one sport, it’s natural to choose a favorite.…
“Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence” -Colin Powell. I will never forget when I was awarded one of the two “Most Outstanding Musician” awards when I was a 7th grader at Neil Armstrong Middle School.…

During the night of the North High School choir concert we surely not ready half of us were shaking and the rest were trying not to forget the lyrics of the 5 songs but as i am sending this in right know it has been a week since the concert but in my perspective it was great in some moments and in others it felt awkward you know when you mess up in something and hoping nobody saw your mess up but you feel that someone saw you get that weird stare like everyone is on the moon and began to frustrate and feel like you messed up and forgot the lyrics. Anyways forget all that before we went to the auditorium we were getting ready putting on our ties, necklaces, and vest some people forgot about wearing black socks some forgot to wear black tights in this situation the guys had to wear all black only the tie should be purple and the women the same but they wore pearls and earrings but beside that the clothes/ dress had to be black. We…
Different moments of our lives change us and shape us into the man or woman whom one day we will become. One moment that changed me was when I got my first instrument. Getting my first instrument was exciting, yet challenging at the same time. When I told my mom that I wanted to start playing music, I didn’t realize how hard it can truly be. I didn’t think of how much patience and time I would need to put into my practicing.…
I was waiting for the match ahead of me to be over. I hear the loud whistle come from the match and I walk over to the head table to check in. Butterflies were flying around my stomach. The people at the table hand me my band and I jog over to my coach, and see my opponent, the state champ. I put my green band on as my coach says “All you have to do is win the match and we win the duel.”…
Why I Sing Chaeley Winkler I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t singing. Of course, I know there was time before I could speak or burble as infants do, so there must have existed a certain silence before sound, however the mere thought of being so silent—unable to reach out with voice or touch—disturbs me to no end. But these thoughts of a time before sound hadn’t quite crossed my mind until I began to question the finer, tinier oddities in my life. These questions emerged at around the age of seven, before they had manifested as inner thoughts.…
My favorite type of music is country. This music is inspirational to all types of people. I truly understand a lot of meanings of country songs. It doesn’t come right out and say it, but you can always infer. There are a variety of ways country music makes you feel.…
"Reset!" Mr. Z shouted through the obnoxious megaphone. Our mouths dry and salty, the entire band hurried lazily to their last set hoping not to be singled out. I spun around and pushed my foot forward when bam! I smashed right into a tuba player.…
Not a single quality rendered me unique or worth remembering and the world enjoyed reminding of that. Ridicule besieged my dark, bushy hair and tall, lanky body. My horn-rimmed glasses eternally needed cleaning from a constant cycle of misplacement.…
For my interview, I decided to interview my middle school band director, Mr.Woo, (George Woo). I decided to interview him because, as a teacher, he changed my life with music and taught me all about it. He molded me into who I am today as I continue music in high school and I appreciate him in many ways. Along with that, he is also in the career path that I might decide to follow in the future which is a teacher, and from what I’ve learned from him, I thought that he could once again teach me about something other than music.…
Sa. The first note that I ever heard and the beginning to my musical life. This one note was enough to change my small world that I existed in. Then came the rest of the scale. Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni.…
