lot of accents and slang words that make English harder to understand. The language barrier makes understanding subjects like literature and history difficult. Teachers speak faster and homework assignments are all in English. However, team sports, band, and chorus are her favorite classes. Math also is one of her easier classes as it consists mainly of numbers, pictures, graphs, etc. Then again, the majority students at Rome High know only a few words in Japanese such as “Sayounara”. A large…
matter in your life. Personally, I thoroughly enjoy all things marching-band related. I like being a part of a marching band, I love watching and listening to other bands play, whether it be the band as a whole, powerful solos, or a beautiful ensemble. Having YouTube on my smartphone allows me to access art like this whenever I please. Another thing I am passionate about is Drum Corps International bands, or DCI bands. DCI is to the marching world what the NFL, NHL, and NBA are to their…

Walking on to the Lucas Oil turf as a Carmel Marching Greyhound for awards at Grand National finals after an exhilarating performance of “What a Tangled Web We Weave” was a feeling of pure accomplishment. As a sophomore, I had done this once before, but this time was different. The whole band knew we were in the running for the national title. Avon and Broken Arrow were our biggest competitors. Earlier in the season we won ISSMA state, so coming into nationals we knew we had a pretty good…

choir and joining band, learning my first instrument, moving up and getting better, meeting people, all up to now. Part of the school’s band program as a bass clarinet, pushing myself everyday to get better, and to overall be better. I joined my school’s choir program in sixth grade knowing that that’s what I wanted to do, considering I had already been part of a choir since third grade. I signed up for band as my second elective knowing…
The other applicants and I have been in band from the very beginning. We have been dedicated and devoted to making this program the absolute best it can be. In the 6th and 7th grade I remember getting frustrated because of being taking out of band for my dyslexia tutoring. Reading music was never an issue, I would only have issues when reading books. Band showed me that there was more to school than just Math and English, I began to see the larger world that was there for me to learn about…
High School band, whether it be marching band, concert band, jazz band, pep band, etc…, is an invaluable source of reference for the real world. It grows students mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically by teaching how to work hard and not just quit because times are getting tough, prepares students for the real world by giving said pupils responsibilities beyond what most high school students have, and high school band also builds comradery among its members. Band is an invaluable…
played the clarinet for seven years and began marching band in ninth grade solely because it was required. I didn’t care for it so much and therefore only pursued it for one year after that. Yet, I did enjoy symphonic band because I would prefer to sit on stage, in decent clothing, with air conditioning or heat, and have the opportunity to at least watch the football games on Friday night. In my opinion, it 's a lot more educating too because symphonic band allows students to become more…
pull. Marching band has been and will continue to be quite an intense time commitment with after school practices, sectionals during tutorial, and weekend competitions. It is so time consuming that everything I plan revolves around it, much like the sun and the planets in our solar system. I only schedule doctor appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I do not have practice and I only spend quality time with my friends and family on weekends I do not have competitions. Despite how marching…
