    At one point in their career, most music students are met with a rather difficult choice: whether to join concert band or a symphonic orchestra. While both are ensembles with a conductor that play music arranged into different parts together, there are several important differences to take note of when deciding which one fits each musician perfectly. First of all, not every instrument is represented in every ensemble. A concert band, often called symphonic wind band, consists, as the name suggests, predominantly of wind instruments.…

    Roger Spottiswoodes’ powerful film And the Band Played On is one that delves into the serious issues of its time regarding a new, unknown disease, which is eventually labeled as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The film was successful in suppressing the stereotype that AIDS is strictly a gay man’s disease by presenting a new “truth about AIDS.” Through the use of scientific evidence and extensive research, the film was able to prove that AIDS is a disease which can be transmitted through blood transfusions and IV drug use. As an epidemic was quickly spreading among gay men in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City, scientists and doctors from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) worked together in hopes of uncovering the cause of this mysterious illness, later identified as AIDS. Assumptions within the biomedical model are exhibited consistently throughout the film when the…

    Does the genre or artist you follow determine if you have an memorable experience if you went to their concert? Any first music concert a human goes to will definitely either have an excellent experience or disappointment. Compared to other crowded events like your NBA basketball game, the intensity of people is ridiculously loud and everyone wants to put their hard earned cash to good use. However, price ranges from $30 to $500 over in resale for concert tickets and some people critically acclaim about how well the show will be. At the age of 19, four days after my birthday I saw a Kanye concert.…
