Military band

Their ability to be a part of the war impacted them as well as non-Aboriginals, in the sense that “receiving military decorations and commendations provided many with the confidence to speak for themselves and advocate for expanded rights and fair treatment in society for all members of their communities”. Their confidence enabled them to politically organize with…

The military myth of American independence is that long ago, a rag-tag band of ordinary civilians banded together to endure untold hardship in the name of independence. Patriot brother banded with brother against the tyrannical British power to create a new America founded upon the principle of liberty, not upon class distinction. This formed the ideological foundation of the new democracy. This is the fable of the colonial army's war against the British in the aptly understated title A…

women participated in many different jobs within the armies, such as, “…combatants, teamsters (drivers of teams of horses used to pull cannon and other heavy equipment), or mule drivers, but many more appear to have served as musicians in regimental bands.” (Women on the Battlefield) Often, women could only pass for teenage boys so their options on the battlefield were still limited, hence the reason many of them were merely drummers for the army. The view of these women was contradictory, and…

it’s always music and noise in the band room, and that’s what I love about it. The band room, one of the most well known room’s in the entire school. You can always hear music coming from there at any part of the day. The people in the band community are always up for playing a tune with their bandmates. Starting from a young age, these people have grown up with music in their hearts and always willing to show it. At concerts, at marching shows, and even at pep band, they are ready to show what…

your everything. This is marching band, and this is the moment in time that will make or break your team. Being a two year member of the WIlson high school marching band i don’t think people understand just how hard we work. Our dedication goes beyond playing in the stands, pep rallies and parades, and though we love playing “hey baby” and our school's alma mater we are more than a symbol of spirit for a school, we are a highly competitive unit. Marching band is a sport in definition but in…

but it will never be just that; music speaks the language of the soul, and I believe it has made me a better person today. Music has been of utmost importance to my family, long before I was born. My grandmother, Debbie, was in a Southern Gospel band, the Wates Family. For many years, they travelled to different churches, spreading their message to those who would listen. My mother also had the privilege of traveling with them, which instilled in her a love for music at a young age. This led…

instructor in 7th grade. Chris preached the Arban’s Book like the bible, afterwards I quit because as a 7th grader it was “too hard”. Looking back on it now, I realize how lucky I was to even get lessons with him and how stupid it was to even quit. Band Shoes These are the most comforable and enjoyable shoes I have ever worn. If I wouldn’t be questioned so much about wearing them then I would wear them daily Cheerleaders We know sometimes we start the fight song before you’re ready, or we’ll…

TJ Trump 2/9/16 Why Buffalo Soldiers were chosen to protect the first National Parks, 1886-1914. From 1886 to 1914, the Buffalo Soldiers assisted with the protection of the National Parks, in particular Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. However, there is little information describing much about their service as park rangers there other than the benefits they brought to the parks. There is no clear reason as to why these soldiers were sent to guard the prestigious parks, instead of the…

Uniforms in the Civil War The Union The Union Army’s Uniform was inspired by France’s military uniforms. The uniform had many variations across different troops and soldiers. During the Civil War, supplies were very limited so it was hard to get materials and fabric. Because of this, people in the army had to put together their own outfit resulting in varying uniforms. The Union Army: Service and Campaign Uniform The Union Army’s service and campaign consisted of a black felt hat that had one…

exaggerating if it was a half mile hike with an instrument bigger than a desk. It was a struggle but I willingly joined because if I was not hauling up a synth to the band room, who would? My boyfriend Will thrust the registration form in my hand the day he received an extra copy. My brain rushed through all the possibilities in marching band. The experience had a euphoric essence in my mind when I envied over my new friends. But I had two concerns: The first being that I’m not a very skilled…
