The US and France have intervened numerous times to bring stability to the country. Citizens are aware of this intervention, impacting the way Haitians view the federal government is viewed. The government is very lax in regards to health and safety standards and generates little tax money to pay for public works projects.

James seemed to enjoy learning and his intelligence seemed to be significantly above average. They made sure to give James many opportunities to…

trumpet horns and the pounding of drums ringing in your ears. There’s the shrilly yet beautiful sounds of flutes and the smooth noise coming from saxophones. Every morning 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…

I have been active in many groups throughout high school and each has had a great impact on my life. However, there are some that stand out above the rest and I know that those experiences will stay with me for the rest of my life. Being a member of the executive board for my schools music honors society is one of those activities. This high standing in the society has given me many experiences that have added to my skills in working in a stressful work environment. There are some on the board…

to participate in cross country again. I want to attend GSSM this coming year, but I don’t know if I will make it. If I am accepted there is an Interim in January which is a fun class that gives the students a break. However, those classes cost money for the most part and are not included in the yearly meal/living plan. I also want to go to Furman, but I don’t know on what instrument. I also want to go to a Spanish immersion camp. Next year I plan to take AP Spanish, but I need to improve my…

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 learned a lot from you and B.T.G. throughout my time both in high school and in Woodruff, so I feel I can optimally…

more important role in the music. Also I was able to join creative writing club as one of the founding members. We meet once every two weeks and do activities that help us write and think more creatively.

At GSSM I took the course on Arduino Robotics with fellow Accelerate students. At Furman we rehearsed for most of the day and had one class…

leadership, and I want to be a part of it. Already, process of applying for this position has been a learning experience. The project has given me motivation to try out for this position. I came into the application process, not knowing the true reason for my urge to try out, other than to be a greater part of the band community. However, as I asked current and former members of the band about their experiences in band, each and everyone had a heartfelt response that was magical in their own…

The tradition of concert, or wind bands has developed so much over many centuries and eras in the world of music. There is a lot of evidence of some instruments, like trumpets, drums, and horns. Although these early uses of instruments were mostly used for signs of battle or war, and not music. It took about until the 17th Century that a band was considered a group of musicians, or something near. At that time, to the people there; there wasn’t really a difference between a band and an…

only able to show up to half of the rehearsals, and did not do much to help us improve while she was there. In previous years, I had helped teach the rookies some technique tips and helped them memorize their music, but by senior year, I was forced to take on a sort of instructor role as a student. I taught the rookies proper mallet technique, and I taught the other marimba players their parts because they could not sight read it, and they did not take the time to learn it on their own. I found…
