Fiesta Grande Reflection During my three years of being in band I have played many pieces of music, although my favorite has been a song called Fiesta Grande. I was given this song in the 7th grade.

The song was energetic. The count was 4/4 and the dynamics were highs and lows. The music made me feel…

Boston, Massachusetts has been my place of residence since May 14, 1996, my birthday. To be more specific, Roxbury, MA (an urban neighborhood of Boston) is where I have spent the majority of my life. My mother emigrated to the U.S. from Haiti with her siblings a couple of years before my birth. I identify as a Haitian American; however, I have stronger ties to the American style of music.

Afterwards, Argentina experienced rapid economic development and an…

They have many holidays that we do not celebrate such as the Day of the Dead and Carnival. “Day of the Dead is a…

most vulnerable in society.
