Marching band

feeling after my first performance, color guard also became a passion of mine. Color guard is can be found in most middle schools, high schools and universities. Some can also be found in independent drum corps. Color guard are a part of the marching band and during football games half time they are there…

members of Gatlinburg-Pittman’s band program marked one of the most developmental courses of action I have ever taken. Learning how to march in rhythm with a flock of students of differing grades and ages, discovering the importance of working within strict time constraints, and transporting percussion equipment weighing roughly as much as myself were, among several other memories, trademarks of my freshman and sophomore high school years. Through marching and concert band, I have discovered how…

Bandie. That sums me up completely. In grade school, I would go to parades, just to see the bands. I would cheer and yell, and some of the band members would smile as they went by. Others took their marching seriously and never smiled, but I knew that they were happy to have some people cheering them on. During my sixth grade year in middle school, I bought my own instrument: my now beaten up, clarinet. From that day on I was a music freak. From my iPod, to my clarinet, I have been playing music…

When I first joined marching band, I was a very quiet and timid individual, but as I got more used to the marching band program, I noticed that I had…

Not saying that if a student doesn’t do dance, band, choir, or any kind of art, won’t be making any friends, but doing them helps them make them a little easier. From a personal experience, I remember the first days of high school, and being so nervous to make new friends. I wasn’t sure how I was going to fit in, but thanks to marching band and symphonic band, I made friends with the upper classmen and it made high school a lot easier. Not only does band help people make friends, but in cases…

apart of marching band. I was skeptical that I would actually like color guard but at the first clinic, I knew I had found a family and exciting activity to pursue. Watching the upperclassmen toss rifles, sabers, and flags with such ease and confidence made me excited to learn and achieve that level of confidence. This year will be my fourth year in marching band, I am still in Color Guard and it is easily one of the activities I’m most passionate about. My love to perform on the marching…

There are two seasons for the color guard, which is the marching season, and winter guard. Marching band is during football season and everyone participated, including the band and guard. Winterguard is performed inside where you spin to music, and this is just the participation of the guard itself, excluding the band. Tryouts are usually held around the end of April. You usually try out your eighth grade year, and if you make it…

about it. While yes that is true I was excited and hyping up Camp i also kind of hyped up the Chicago trip in a way because of a comment i said on Friday after school and that was “we got to play some really cool Sousa (John Philips Sousa) marches in band…

I really appreciate the fact that you let us, the Moanalua Middle School Band, to let us perform at the Menehune Classic. It was such an honor to play with the high schools from around the island, including the high school from the school itself. I’m an MMS Symphonic Band student who plays the Clarinet. The marching band from the different high schools inspired me so much, because the fact that a student in school can remember where to walk, and what to play while remembering what to do for…

influenced others around me with the years of leadership experience I have attained. As a member of the J.M. Hanks silver knight marching band, I have been a section leader for three years. During those three years I was head section leader for two years. As a section leader, I have taught various students how to excel in their performance in marching band and concert band. Without a doubt, I enjoy augmenting the minds of young musicians. High school or middle schools, I always manage to leave…
