Lego Rock Band

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…

The ad I chose is for a concert known as Winter Jam. It is advertising the artists and price for the upcoming concert. Winter Jam was created by a band called Newsong, and they are the ones who help make it happen every year. Holt International is the organization who helps Newsong to advertise Winter Jam. The ad first appeared on Winter Jam’s Facebook page. It targets people from all age groups, races, and sexes, who love Christian music. This advertisement sells a concert viewing to anyone who…

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…

This year we, the community service group, wanted to host our second annual powder puff football game. First we had to find a cause to hold the game in honor of. We figured Cystic Fibrosis was the perfect disease to try to inform our community about in a fun and interesting way. We have a student in our school district with this deadly disease and wanted to help her spread awareness. Our first decision to make was where to host this event. We knew from the previous year that hosting the…

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…

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…

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…
