School band

high band. This was an eye opening experience because of the differences he ran his band. Dover-Eyota Middle and High is a Grammy nominated band program, so this was a great opportunity to see a band outside of Tennessee. Mr. Anderson did utilize the room in a big way. Firstly, he purposefully spread everyone in the room out. In the middle of the ensemble, there was an aisle so he would be able to walk from the podium to the back with the percussion. This is a great idea because most bands…

Being diverse means that a student can do juggle multiple activities at one time. In saying this ,this means that a student could be a football player while in band or volunteering somewhere else. Diversity is a very important trait for students to have. One reason is that its shows that a student can manage their time well. Being diverse is a trait that all colleges look for in students. Students who do well in just academics but has no extracurricular activities are good, however, compare them…

tightly knit band of friends. With this unfortunate development, all my quiet and pensive mental preparations for the evening had vanished. Fortunately my closest friend, and a fellow “date filler,” was by my side for the duration. So as the faux date I accompanied essentially abandoned me at the venue entrance to celebrate alongside her own companions, my faithful friend supported me in my quest to not succumb to my nausea. Once again we sought to laugh our way through another high school…

Every new school year is an opportunity to meet new people, grow myself as a person, and learn new things. Every new school year I discover more about myself and the big world. I appreciate the new teachers and the people that I meet. When we go to a new school, we often find out there are people who are different from us and that have opposite viewpoints. They are all unique in their own ways and so am I. When I was younger I found out that I am somewhat ambidextrous. I began playing baseball…

what I want to do with my life yet, so I am attending College of the Albemarle to continue my education as I figure out what I want to major in. While I figure out what I want to do, COA is close to home and much cheaper than going to a four-year school. I will have to start out and take the same classes no matter where I go, so why not do it close to home and save money in the process? I plan to go to College of the Albemarle for two years and then transfer to a four-year college and continue…

Relevance and Appropriateness of Core Competencies Three core competencies at Napavine School District are our K-12 reading program, athletic distinction and attendance expectation. Napavine prides itself on preparing students academically. One of the most important skills for a student is the ability to read well. We begin in kindergarten with Accelerated Reader (AR) and continue using the program through twelfth grade. Research from Renaissance Learning shows that “students who use AR are…

not a possibility for my parents. My mother’s highest education was a high school diploma, and my father’s was middle school. So here I am; in over my head, trying to navigate a system that no one in my sphere of influence has ever navigated before, yet this has never stopped me from my pursuit of college. In doing this, I will further my education, have financial stability, and aid communities. Throughout my high school career, I was doubted by many. Typical Hispanic stereotypes surrounded me.…

high school years were rather rough. I bounced from group of friends to group of friends. I got in trouble, was an outcast, and just hated school. Therefore, I decided to never do my homework, try to cheat on tests, faked sick, and went through a terrible phase in my life. I almost didn’t graduate high school in fact; I had a 1.8 GPA with a 24 ACT. I knew I wouldn’t be accepted by a four-year college so I was forced to either not go to college, go to a community college, or go to trade school. I…

The Serenity “Your marching technique is one of the strongest in the band, but your musicality leaves something to be desired,” sighed my band director. I left my tenth-grade memory assessment feeling flustered by overwhelming expectations that I was not fulfilling. Coming from a family of dedicated musicians, and a school where the band program is a fundamental extra-curricular activity, I felt misplaced. Through a journey of decisions, engagement in new environments, failure, and inner…

But as East Jordans 2014-2015 school year ended our school board decided it was an abundant idea to put middle school students in with the high school students. At first it was fine, until middle school students had classes with us, because Middle Schoolers should not be intertwined with high school students and their classes. The school board needs to change middle school class regulations , Or bring back the Middle School building. The classes that the middle school students are attending…
