the true meaning of what is being said in the bible because it has become so mainstream. In the sermon I watched online, the end of the service was wrapped up with a full band of drummers, guitar players and singers preforming a hymn. The hymns and bible both originated as holy and sacred but are now being performed by a rock band. Wagner expresses the weird fascination that we can download a bible app on our Iphones and Ipads and leave it next to a game like Angry Birds (103). It’s very strange…
Alexander Graham Bell: The Man behind the Telephone We live in the 21st Century, the age of scientific and technological advancements. One aspect of life that humans take for granted is communication. When the word, “Phone” is said, the phone companies like “Apple”, or “Samsung” automatically come to mind. Companies have attempted to innovate the phone for a great length of years, and that is why modern-day telephones and cellular devices are cosmetically sleek, futuristic, and more sufficient…
years, and would say the trumpet section has made good progress over this school year. With the little number of trumpet members in the band, the section has done a lot to step up to the occasion and play the part that may have called for double our numbers. Overall, all the members of the section have improved musically and dedicated their time to give aid to the band, rather than hurt it. The section worked cohesively when it came to helping out one another and giving advice to those that…
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.…

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…
