School band

This school year, I have completed numerous amounts of service. The services I have done are the St. Patrick’s Movie Night, the Sacred Hearts Academy Scholarship Gala, the Road to Oz Concert, the Sacred Hearts Academy Marching Band Season, donating to the Hawaiian Food Bank, the Freshman Service Day, and the LIFE Walk. The events in the Sacred Hearts Academy Marching Band Season that I participated in were Band Camp, the weekly practices, the Veterans Day Parade, Waikiki Holiday Parade, and the…

instrument in mind; this includes: brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments, or instruments that are used while walking. Essentially, the instruments are individually selected and placed in different combinations for performances. Because marching bands are working with several different types of instruments, instrumentation is an important consideration when developing the musical composition. The artistic works of the Marching Chiefs are sophisticated, well-rehearsed and easily noted when…

and performance styles of marching bands have developed over the past decades. The first school with a marching band was the University of Notre Dame in Indiana which took place in the year of 1842. The band formed and presented their skills even before the university’s football team existed, whose first season began in 1887 (“Notre Dame”). Throughout the years, band groups have become more and more competitive. Nowadays, there are several types of marching bands that participate in…

By the 1940s, most of the jazz music scene was Swing Jazz, it was classically structured harmonies, commercialized big bands and it had limited room for improvisation; most of the bands at the time were limited in uniqueness. Such a borderline bland music scene proved fertile ground for Bebop, but what started as a musical form unknown, or at least not meant to be known, by the public, played in afterhours of nightclubs, was revolutionized by the alto-sax player, Charlie Parker. Despite his…

of this group in high school. The experiences I had are ones that are unforgettable .I formed a bond with the people within this group that cannot be broken. There are two seasons for the color guard, which is the marching season, and winter guard. Marching band is during football season and everyone participated, including the band and guard. Winterguard is performed inside where you spin to music, and this is just the participation of the guard itself, excluding the band. Tryouts are…

opportunity/experience is indeed student-centered? Why? Since this is Block 1 and the beginning of the school year, a lot of the first few days of school has involved work outside of playing music and rehearsing, including things such as organizing the band room, assembling music and folders, and going over handbooks and general classroom rules and regulations. Teaching at the school year really made me realize how much a band director has to do outside of actually teaching the students. A lot…

leader in this program. I have spent countless hours for band from practicing, to teaching others, and also several other things. I spend most of my time doing something band related, but I would be glad to more to benefit the band. I can use my hard working attitude to do whatever is needed of me. I can use my knowledge of music to teach others how to be better musicians and show improvement. My concern for the the 2017 year of marching band is that the senior class right now is going to be…

Hoover High School knows that on Friday that will see many different uniforms including: dance team, cheerleaders, color-guard, football players, and the band members. Between every class, the fight song will be played over the intercom and a certain anxiousness overcomes the student body as the hours upon game time draw near. Most Fridays, class schedules will be shortened so that there will be time for a pep rally at the end of the day. As soon as the bell dismisses students from school, the…

new marching band season starts. This was normal for Milly. Her band is very well known around her state. Concord is one of the best bands in the state of Indiana. They are from Elkhart, Indiana. Milly was so excited for the season to start, but on the other hand she wasn't . It was her senior year and her last time participating in the marching band. Since she was a drum major last year, Milly is now the head drum major. Being a drum major is one of the hardest jobs in marching band. Everyone…

Rubbing Off in the 110 I’ve always been involved with marching band most of my time in school starting in 5th grade. I fell in love with it. I consider marching band an art form. The band marches in many different designs or a patterns on the field while playing music, and for the Marching 110, they perform a dance at the end. For the rubbings project, I wanted to celebrate my time here at Ohio University and give thanks to The Most Exciting Band In The Land. The materials I was regular printer…
