    Marching Band

    • 1033 Words
    • 5 Pages

    sat, and I’m surrounded by strangers. It was the first day of marching band. I man up to the problem, and ask another tuba player where I sat, she pointed with a smile. I put my stuff down, and with the equal beats of a wood block, this senior in the band says let's get set. I have no idea what any of that means. I am feeling self conscious, nervous, and clueless with what the day will bring me. I followed the rest of the band outside, and we started just walking with rhythm. For example if the…

    During my High-School career I have had the opportunity to lead kids through music but I am most proud of the kids that I have worked with in Horn Choir. I founded Horn Choir at the beginning of 2015 as a fun escape from the stressful school life but it became much more. In horn choir I was able to encourage kids that I have student taught to join my organization. Little did I realize it, two of the younger kids participated in self-harm (cutting themselves). After realizing this shocking news I…

    leader in this program. I have spent countless hours for band from practicing, to teaching others, and also several other things.

    After the flags passed, two baton twirlers preceded the rest of the SIU cheerleaders. The baton twirlers performed a coordinated routine which started with the music played by the Salukis Marching band. These two twirlers rotated their batons very fast, then they tossed them into the air and jumped to catch it before it dropped to the floor. Then three rows of cheerleaders who were wearing a very sophisticated uniform made with the SIU colors, maroon, black and white, passed. Their uniforms are…

    By the 1940s, most of the jazz music scene was Swing Jazz, it was classically structured harmonies, commercialized big bands and it had limited room for improvisation; most of the bands at the time were limited in uniqueness. Such a borderline bland music scene proved fertile ground for Bebop, but what started as a musical form unknown, or at least not meant to be known, by the public, played in afterhours of nightclubs, was revolutionized by the alto-sax player, Charlie Parker. Despite his…

    • 407 Words
    • 2 Pages

    wonderful learning experience. Failure at some point is inevitable, but it you have to make the most of it. I have been fortunate enough to be the drum major for my school’s marching band both my junior and senior year. We have yet to start competitions this year, but last year was not ideal for me as a leader or the band as a whole. We start rehearsals for our competition show at the end of June; this is usually about two weeks after the school year has ended. We have three, two and a half…

    Making It to the Big Time I am Vincent Crabtree. When I was a freshman in High School, I participated in an activity called “Winter Percussion”. It was much like marching band, but it took place during the winter and spring season, and it featured a smaller ensemble composed mostly of percussive instruments. Throughout the season, we had practice almost nightly, working to put together a show that would be performed in competition with other drumlines. One of my favorite memories begins after…

    how I chose to spend the majority of my Saturdays and Tuesday nights when I signed up for marching band. Enticed by the promise of a magical and musical trip to Disney, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. I suffered through hours upon hours of music memorization and painstakingly trying to perfect my form and sync my steps to everyone else’s. The goal is to move as one, to melt into one band whose sounds and movements are precise, identical, and smooth. Every week I stood in the…
