Big band

Most people that attend a concert buy merchandise and would want to show it off at school. For example a student at Hamilton Middle School. Ben Brewer, the student who wore a rock band t-shirt to school, before the rule was even made. But because of this he got suspended for a week. The rule states that you cannot wear any musical groups on a t-shirt to Hamilton Middle School. This rule is in place because Principle Carter was worried the t-shirts may disrupt learning and, or cause trouble out…

The 1971 performance of “Wouldn’t it Be Nice:” was a well-rounded demonstration of the vocal harmonies used in the music produced by the Beach Boys. Throughout the video, the men go off of one another to produce an astounding harmony. The footage shows a plethora of foot tapping, guitar and ukulele playing, and not to mention the luscious, long, surfer hair look. Unlike common love songs of this time period, Brian Wilson wanted to portray the central idea of teens getting married too young.…

groove to the rhythm. I began writing down my thoughts, studying bands and I even changed my style. Long hair, skinny jeans, the works. I joined a band with the best guitarist I knew. Despite me being tone deaf then we managed to make a song and play it for everyone we knew. This was a triumphant victory, to me. To my guitarist, this was a bore. Growing weary of the duo he departed with two of our mutual friends to form a new band. Me? I was devastated. Over time our friendship vaporized and…

Will Not Bow. When I say the tone is heavy, I mean that the music carry a weight behind them. A weight in the way it sounds, but also the lyrics themselves. It creates a sense of relatability with the audience that the band is trying to appeal towards. The tone given from this band creates an environment to look forward to. Making songs with weight behind the words creates a broad range of music you can…

Though it did lead to licensing deals in other movies and the band was invited to perform in the film Vendetta, with Roger Corman. Song placements followed in Reform School Girls, and the Goonies which gave Gehman the initiative to find new members. Tasked with the search for a new guitarist and rhythm section, Flores…

brings me back to my teenage years, when I was a young girl longing for a relationship with my dream guy. This band was introduced to me by an English teacher from highschool whom I had the biggest crush on. I connect with this song because it reminds me of the relationship I had with this teacher. He stole my heart at first sight, introduced me to beautiful music, and showed me a band that forever changed my life. In my junior year of highschool, my English teacher was going away for a week to…

Imagine being at your favorite artist’s concert and singing along to your favorite song with your friends and having a great night. Then, the music stops and you hear ear defining sounds coming from inside the arena. You look around and see blood, bomb fragments, and people running all around you trying to escape the nightmare. This was a reality for thousands of people at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester in May. The terrorist attack at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester caused an…

“One more for water!” yelled Mr. H, followed by cheers from the band. It was a dreary Tuesday practice, there was only one hour left until we got to go home. We quickly rushed back to our first dot and got set. Another full run-through of the show. It started to drizzle, then slowly but steadily, it began to pour. The band’s yells echoed off of the bleachers as the drum majors began to conduct, “Dut, Dut! DUT! DUT! DUT! DUT!” The searing bright lights flashed on like the lightning in the sky,…

headlining their Punishment Tour. Joining them were two bands from New York, Candy Brain and Justin Symbol, along with Requiem from California. While the venue was a bit compact, it mad no different to the crowd or the band. Candy Brain, with the front stage lined with giant lollipops, started off the show. Bunny Abbit (vocals), Anton Silv (guitar), Rachel Zyats (keys) and Chelsee Chaos (bass) are the four that make up this industrial punk band. With the release of their debut album “The…

N-V Cougar Practice It was just another regular day to practice for the Niobrara-Verdigre Cougars at Niobrara. All of the Verdigre football players despised going over to Niobrara for practice. It was the usual ride over there with all of us talking about how school went that day, about football, or about other topics in the news. We would turn up the radio if a song came on that most of us could sing since we knew the song. It would seem sometimes that it seemed we were on the way to choir…
