Marching band

Rubbing Off in the 110 I’ve always been involved with marching band most of my time in school starting in 5th grade. I fell in love with it. I consider marching band an art form. The band marches in many different designs or a patterns on the field while playing music, and for the Marching 110, they perform a dance at the end. For the rubbings project, I wanted to celebrate my time here at Ohio University and give thanks to The Most Exciting Band In The Land. The materials I was regular printer…

high school’s marching band. Although most high school students join the band their freshman year, with many coming from musically experienced backgrounds, I on the other hand joined in the last year of high school, with no band experience coming in. My first weeks in band was stressful, as my peers had to teach me all the intricacies of band, from marching technique, how to play my instrument, and memorizing my music as well as field positions. Joining the tuba section of the band only added to…

“You may take the field for competition.” Marching band has always been something I wanted to do since I entered North Middle School band. When I first signed up to be in the ‘Rebel Pride’ marching Band at Franklin County High School, I had no idea what that year would have in store for me. ‘Will I fit in?’ ‘Will anyone like me?’ Those were all questions I asked myself. I can honestly say that the four years I was in marching band was the time of great learning and discovery of myself and the…

feeling. In the eighth grade, I was began preparations to join the marching band my freshman year of high school. During the course of my first year in band, I began to study the drum major very closely. I could picture myself on the field conducting and dancing in front of the band. For three years I studied the role. By the time I was a junior in high school I felt like I was ready to take on the role. I had mastered conducting, marching, and dancing. There were many days in my home that I…

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…

In high school, I remember where my biggest dream changed into a reality. I was a member of the Greenville High School Tiger Pride Marching Band. I played the alto saxophone. Unlike my bandmates, I did not know how to read music then. I played by ear, and whatever scale, jazz run, or chromatic I heard, I could play it back just like that. I played at numerous of black history programs and different events at school. My favorite saxophonist was Kenneth Williams, and I told myself that I want to…

Marching band is a group of line of people who play one or more pieces of music using a combination of instruments (brass, percussion, and a number of pit instruments) together and display a combination of music and action games on the parade of players. Generally, the appearance of the Marching Band is led by one drum major, and do outdoor or indoor performances in rows that form a pattern formation that changes constantly according to the flow of choreography to the song being played, and…

the midway point of a football game with an exciting display, marching bands have always brought something special and memorable to its audiences. As well as providing the audience with an engaging show, marching band also gives its participants a unique educational experience. Marching band helps marchers to better themselves as musicians, students, and human beings. The musical demands of actively participating in a marching band shape marchers to be higher quality musicians. Because…

I enjoy listening to music and playing sports so marching band fits that (though many people believe that marching band is not a sport I believe that it is. If golf can be considered a sport marching band can be too). I get to make music and get some exercise in at the same time, the perfect balance! Then once marching band season is finished, I run on the track team, which fulfills my enjoyment of sports and running. Many of my friends…

look at a marching band and think it’s just a teacher, directing the members of the band. In reality, there is much more than just the band director helping the students. Some bands have 200 people others only have 20. No matter the size may be, the band instructor could use some extra leadership help from other people. In a marching band you have not only the director, but the drum majors, and the section leaders to help out the band as well. First of all, the main leader is the band…
