Marching percussion

is a group of student musicians who rehearse and perform instrumental music together. A concert band is usually under the direction of one or more conductors (band directors). A school band consists of woodwind instruments, brass instruments and percussion instruments, although upper level bands may also have string basses or bass guitar. School bands tend to be more common in the United States. School bands in the United Kingdom are generally similar to those in the US although pure brass…

My favorite class is band and my least favorite is Engineering. I like to listen to music and hang out with friends in my freetime I like to cook when I can and practice cello and flute. I also enjoy playing cymbals in winter percussion. I don’t like doing homework or studying, but I have to do homework. I want to become a doctor or an engineer…

affairs in terms of percussion has been tormenting my thoughts for the past several months. As Tyler and Patrick are graduating, and rumors of Harley, Ana, and Chase not participating in the program circulate, it is evident that we are going to have a shortage of percussionists in the marching band when we want to further expand the roster. Because of this, I do not feel comfortable in influencing your decision of my placement in the percussion section of the 2018-19 WHS Marching Cadets. I…

the football field by starting out and playing our high school song while it was nobody their but the cheerleaders and the football players. But when marching band comes to an end there is no more fun for playing at the football games, playing short cadences against the other high school’s and getting hot chocolate and chips. The gap from marching band to symphonic band is playing in front of all your parents on a stage with bright lights shining in your eyes, that sometimes makes it hard to…

able to be apart of this group in high school. The experiences I had are ones that are unforgettable .I formed a bond with the people within this group that cannot be broken. 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.…

Although failure can be upsetting or even discouraging, it can be used as a 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…

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 to effectively learn independently, to take on responsibility for my actions, and to guide underclassmen when help is…

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…

Band has produced the best experiences I had in my life. It was the flint that needed to be striked and once sparked the fire could not calmed. The fire burns with a white hue and joins with other flames to become stronger. This is the passion for a love of music and the community of other musicians joining together. I am happy to say that i regret nothing when it comes to band. When I was younger, I would hang on to my parents and i would never venture out of my comfort zone. As i grew older I…
