School band

10, I attended a concert by the rock band, Dorothy at The Echo. The band lineup included: Dorothy Martin(vocals), Mark Jackson(guitar), Gregg Cash (bass), Zac Morris (Drums). Unfortunately, I was only able to hear two original songs of their own creation: “Missile” and “After Midnight”. Both songs were met with enthusiastic applause and praise. I was actually anxious to see them perform live as they were mentioned in Rolling Stone magazine as a promising new band and because I had fallen in love…

groove to the rhythm. I began writing down my thoughts, studying bands and I even changed my style. Long hair, skinny jeans, the works. I joined a band with the best guitarist I knew. Despite me being tone deaf then we managed to make a song and play it for everyone we knew. This was a triumphant victory, to me. To my guitarist, this was a bore. Growing weary of the duo he departed with two of our mutual friends to form a new band. Me? I was devastated. Over time our friendship vaporized and…

offer, and I can’t say for a second that I regret it. Through a friend, I found this not-very-well-known business called Evolution Rock School. It was a place where they would form small bands of these kids, all with the same skill level, and teach them what it’s meant to be in a band, how to play, and how to perform. This caused bonds to be created over time and bands to become very close, almost family-like; if someone happened to be substituting for someone who was absent, it…

On March 26th, I attended a concert at Sidewinder in Austin, Texas. The venue hosted three bands: The Sweethearts, Two Tens, and The Dollyrots. All three were female-fronted punk rock bands, but The Sweethearts were the only band that was local. The other two were on tour with each other. All three of the bands knew each other and have played together at other venues frequently. This event held indoors. Sidewinder’s interior is set up as an open bar. When you walk in the bar is to the right,…

as a section leader for two years, and would say the trumpet section has made good progress over this school year. With the little number of trumpet members in the band, the section has done a lot to step up to the occasion and play the part that may have called for double our numbers. Overall, all the members of the section have improved musically and dedicated their time to give aid to the band, rather than hurt it. The section worked cohesively when it came to helping out one another and…

disappoint you. Last school year my band director and favorite teacher, Mr. Cole, did something that really changed my outlook on life. Even when trying as hard as I could, I could not make everyone happy. From this day on, I had a new view on all of my problems. I have learned that not only life but people have a way of discouraging me. Even with people disappointing me, I learned how to persevere through all of life’s struggles. In my band program, making all-region band is a massive deal.…

the nagging I did. I had to wait until July for the show, but I was already planning in June. I knew I was going to take my friend Hope and my mom told my dad that it was his turn for concert duty. Unfortunately, my father got stuck chaperoning for a band he couldn’t stand which was going to make to the whole night better. Flash forward to the night of the show, which Hope…

music. My mom grew up in the 80’s in the United States. I was interested to learn about her musical preferences that she enjoyed while she was a high school student in her generation. My mother response was that she enjoyed much of the popular music at the time but leaned towards rock bands. Growing up in the Seattle area, she enjoyed listening to bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam because of their local connection. She said that as a teenager she didn 't listen to as much music as her peers…

Though it did lead to licensing deals in other movies and the band was invited to perform in the film Vendetta, with Roger Corman. Song placements followed in Reform School Girls, and the Goonies which gave Gehman the initiative to find new members. Tasked with the search for a new guitarist and rhythm section, Flores was replaced with guitarist Kathryn Grimm, another…

became active in the city’s punk rock scene in the 1970s. After forming a punk band called The Nosebleeds from 1976 to 1978, he embarked on a career in music journalism in the early 1980s before starting a new band called The Smiths in 1982. With The Smiths, Morrissey achieved international acclaim, cultivating an image as an unlikely and unconventional rock star who eschewed the genre’s fame, glamor and hedonism. The band released four successful albums in the 1980s before ultimately…
