Band gap

your everything. This is marching band, and this is the moment in time that will make or break your team. Being a two year member of the WIlson high school marching band i don’t think people understand just how hard we work. Our dedication goes beyond playing in the stands, pep rallies and parades, and though we love playing “hey baby” and our school's alma mater we are more than a symbol of spirit for a school, we are a highly competitive unit. Marching band is a sport in definition but in…

but it will never be just that; music speaks the language of the soul, and I believe it has made me a better person today. Music has been of utmost importance to my family, long before I was born. My grandmother, Debbie, was in a Southern Gospel band, the Wates Family. For many years, they travelled to different churches, spreading their message to those who would listen. My mother also had the privilege of traveling with them, which instilled in her a love for music at a young age. This led…

instructor in 7th grade. Chris preached the Arban’s Book like the bible, afterwards I quit because as a 7th grader it was “too hard”. Looking back on it now, I realize how lucky I was to even get lessons with him and how stupid it was to even quit. Band Shoes These are the most comforable and enjoyable shoes I have ever worn. If I wouldn’t be questioned so much about wearing them then I would wear them daily Cheerleaders We know sometimes we start the fight song before you’re ready, or we’ll…

being grounded in truth of data is a must. “On average, today’s upper-income families are almost seven times wealthier than middle-income ones, compared to 3.4 times wealthier in 1984.” (Salles, 2014). According to this, there truly is a significant gap between rich and poor. The reasons for this are that the rich have some entrepreneurial prowess and the poor either…

When people think of marching band, they tend to believe it is a joke or a waste of time. Marching band is a more time consuming activity that starts late in the summer. Yet the people that are not involved in the Fine Arts are more likely to have these false accusations. While most believe marching band is not a sport, is for the unpopular kids, and requires no prior skill, it in fact requires a great deal of time and dedication. A lot of marching bands practice on a daily bases, implying the…

Nowadays, we are living in the new media society because of the digital devices are surrounded our lives such as the Internet, iPhone, TV… In fact, it also means we are living in the information society. According to the lecture, we access to information happens through digital technologies (Quintero, Johnson 2016, Information Society). There is no denying fact that we access the news, music, and information come from digital technologies. Meanwhile, new media society change our lifestyle; it…

nanocrystals (NC) characterized by the core radius R and the shell width H, we use effective mass approximation. We assume the existence of single energy bands for both electrons and holes. This assumption represents simplification compared to multi-band models that explicitly take into account mixing between, e.g., different valence sub-bands.1 However, this simplified approach still allows us to capture essential trends of core- and shell-size dependences…

the community, joining and doing it has been one of the best Ideas I have ever had, and it has aided me in my pursuit of happiness. Eruption drum and bugle corps was a wonderful experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Drum corps is a marching band that has been taken to the next level. Larger, faster,…

rules, etc. The group was able to make such decisions as a group because of the limited number of people that were in the group. This small number of people wasnt quite large enough to be a tribe as we see in Native Americans, so we call them a band. A band is exactly what I just described above. Because Ice Age hunter-gathers were few in number and extremly mobile, this kind of social organization worked perfectly for them. However, as we Ice Age…

Bandie. That sums me up completely. In grade school, I would go to parades, just to see the bands. I would cheer and yell, and some of the band members would smile as they went by. Others took their marching seriously and never smiled, but I knew that they were happy to have some people cheering them on. During my sixth grade year in middle school, I bought my own instrument: my now beaten up, clarinet. From that day on I was a music freak. From my iPod, to my clarinet, I have been playing music…
