School band

Imagine you are in school right now, it is 3:25 and school is almost over, you have been sitting through countless classes with dull teachers. You are beaming at the clock, waiting for that deafening ring of the bell that symbolizes freedom from this prison adults call school. Yet if I were to envision a perfect school, it would be full of fun, friends, and a little bit of learning. The first thing that a student in my perfect school would do is pick their own schedule and locker. The reason…

With everything going on in my life, it is important to keep procrastinating to a minimum, keep a…

astonishing privilege to be among outstanding students who are being consider for the National Technical Honor Society. It would be a great honor to be a part of an amazing group of students who work hard, lead, dedicate themselves to not only to their high school and community, but to a magnificent society such as the National Technical Honor Society.

Many kids in middle school do as many activities and extracurriculars as they can and by the time they reach their freshman year they’re told that they have to choose what they like best and focus on that and only that. I was one of those people. Ever since I was a little girl I was in every sport and activity you could think of. Dance, volleyball, basketball, swimming, band, I wanted to do all of it but the reality of the matter was that I couldn’t. I had to choose only one. How could I do that…

As my time in high school begins to dwindle down and graduation day rapidly approaches, I look forward to embarking onto college and a new series of endeavours. However, I would not be the person I am today if it was not for my journey from freshman to senior year at John F. Kennedy Memorial High School. I have learned countless morals, lessons, and an incredible education in my unforgettable high school experience. My teachers, administrators, coaches, as well as fellow classmates and teammates…

words were spoken to me by my high school band director Cheldon Williams on the first day of my high school experience. This, followed by my experience of marching band and my eventual learning of piano sparked a period of introspective thought, and mental growth, that transcended to where I am today. Never in my life did I think my hard work and dedication inspired by Mr. Williams words would land me at Interlochen Center for the Performing Arts Boarding School. These words became a core part…

As one walks down the hallways of any school, he/she would expect to see many different kinds of people: the football players, the people finishing their homework frantically before the bell tone, and the people sitting on their phones, not even talking to their friends sitting next to them. What many people pass by without noticing is the group of students in choir and band warming up their instruments and voices, and lastly the people in drama class acting out scenes from their favorite plays…

Why should students be required to take a class in the arts? Fine art classes are art, music, drama, band, and orchestra. Students shouldn’t be required to take a class in the arts because students should be able to choose what they want to do in school, If students didn’t choose that class and are being forced in a fine arts class they wouldn’t be happy, and some students would need to have a study block so that they could study for the upcoming test or finish homework.
