Band of Brothers

second that I regret it. Through a friend, I found this not-very-well-known business called Evolution Rock School. It was a place where they would form small bands of these kids, all with the same skill level, and teach them what it’s meant to be in a band, how to play, and how to perform. This caused bonds to be created over time and bands to become very close, almost family-like; if someone happened to be substituting for someone who was absent, it…

disappoint you. Last school year my band director and favorite teacher, Mr. Cole, did something that really changed my outlook on life. Even when trying as hard as I could, I could not make everyone happy. From this day on, I had a new view on all of my problems. I have learned that not only life but people have a way of discouraging me. Even with people disappointing me, I learned how to persevere through all of life’s struggles. In my band program, making all-region band is a massive deal.…

us of home.

Becoming the person that I am today winds down to two main obsessions, books and band. These two fascinations have influenced my everyday choices in life. Band is something that I have been involved with for seven years, and I plan to continue in college. Being involved in this wonderful program has taught me responsibility and has nurtured my love for music. In band, everyone is responsible for many things. These responsibilities include having the ability to play an instrument well, having…

tremendous music. Robotrip is an Alternative Rock band that started a little over a year ago. The Members are CSU student and Bassist/Vocalist, Andy Creech; CSU student and Guitarist, Jack Rohde; Vocalist/Guitarist, Joe Smith; and Drummer, Kyle Huckleberry. Originally, a few of the members were a part of a different band, but due to schedule conflicts, they were not were not very productive. The remaining members, Creech,Rohde, and Smith, decided to keep the band going and…

sung covers and towards the middle of the concert they began to show some of their original works. They were pretty enjoyable. I am not certain if they were a well know small local band or if they were just a student band that formed on campus but they were very talented and I hope that they do well I their career. This band had a more ‘soft’ alternative rock vibe and their interpretation of known song were fun, easily recognizable, and also easily understood. One of my favorite parts about…

Have you ever been late to go to school at night because you were working? Band practice was scheduled one night after school from 6-9. It slipped my mind when I was at my job. I accidentally showed up late for practice. I walked into first hour excited about practice that night. I wanted the percussion to win every competition we went to, since that’s how it was last year. The band teacher announced that there would be practice that night and for everyone to show up on time. I…

figures during this time. The British rock band, The Beatles were heavily impacted by Dylan’s sudden musical change. The Beatles’ mainly produced pop hits for teens and were inspired to experiment with their creative abilities. Bob’s Freewheelin’ album made a huge impression on them. “For three weeks in Paris, we didn't stop playing it," Lennon stated. “We all went potty about Dylan.” It was his distinctive lyrics that captivated the band. As result, the band released more experimental types of…

was in the marching band and the concert band. In college, I was in the orchestra and the pep band. Band for me wasn’t about playing the music. Music, to me, is just a hobby. What these group of musicians gave me was a sense of family. We would spend hours upon hours together with a common goal. In high school, that goal was to cheer on the football team or entertain a crowd. In college, it is all about basketball. The sense of school spirit that comes along with pep band is why I…
