School band

Students of all grades and interests gather in the band room before school begins. They compare homework, discuss conclusions, greet friends, make plans together, practice, or just hang out. New students feel that there is something special going on and hang around to see what it is. They could read or learn stories about past band member’s ones who achieved amazing results during high school as well as ones who are doing wonderful things in colleges and careers. They feel connected, not just to a group of peers but to a continuous line of musicians just like them who have passed through similar musical experiences. Band uses math mainly fractions There are fractions in band or you call them time signatures. If the time signature is 4/4, the band director must conduct the band a certain way so they can easily…

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…

How much the individual was invested or involved with the lost variable changes how much it affects them when the variable suddenly disappears; the more the person was related to the variable, the more it affects the said person. At times, even outsiders feel the aftershocks of sudden disappearance, although how they deal with the loss is different than the person who was directly involved with the absent variable. The story between Shintaro and Ayano from Jin’s song Toumei Answer is similar to…

A school band 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…

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…

I’m a freshman, and I’m trying to get acclimated to my life in the high school and just like every high school freshman; I’m trying to show upperclassmen and teachers what I’m all about. The high school jazz band was the finest ensemble in the school for me to showcase my musical ability, specifically playing the saxophone. I’ve spent my life looking up to the jazz band at local performances. It was my dream to play in that prestigious group. I thought I did well during the audition. I was…

knew that band in high school had such a surprise in store for the new students. On top of the changes from middle school to high school already being terrifying. My experiences throughout high school band were enjoyful, prideful, and exhausting. Starting from the fun treats that band came with, to the long hot sweaty hours spent on the football field practicing our hearts out for every football game. I definitely would be a different person, if it wasn’t for the band experiences that I had, and…

matter if it was football, basketball, or hockey, I was excited to see the Badgers win, and hear the band celebrate with them. One of my favorite memories is from High School Band Day in 2014. I got rejected to homecoming on the bus there, but once I got in the stadium and saw the marching band rehearsing, my sorrows vanished for good. I couldn’t believe that I got to play during half time at a badger game! Since we didn’t make it back for band day the past two years, I thought my adventures at…

Quite a few students around the midpoint of the 2016-2017 school year have approached me about joining band. Needless to say. I would love to have them! The administration, and myself understand the importance of music in schools, including the long-term benefits in the classroom. For example, it is proven that students who play a musical instrument perform better in math and science on standardized testing. But, our major goal is to give students the opportunity to attend college, and have some…

Band is one of an important things at school to not only us as students or as a band, but also the high school as a whole. Band is vital to students because it helps us feel accepted. In band, we are much like a big family. All of us care about each other and band. I have met so many people through band and form bonds that will last forever, or at least for the rest of high school. Without band, kids that don’t necessarily feel cared about at school or home can be cared about through band. Band…
