The Band and Orchestra room is to the left in the hallway and is filled with lockers, instructional pieces, and instruments. The first instrument I see when I enter the room is a wooden piano. The conductors chair is an old office chair that worn down so we can see the padding inside of it.

The room has three short floor…

explore and experiment with a wide variety of cultural approaches to musical performances” (The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma: Live from Tanglewood).

Star Wars: The Force Awakens music piece. Most definitely, this was my most favorite piece of music during the entire concert. Once the guest group was finished, the Sacramento State group came to the stage with its conductor alongside with new instruments such as the trombone and the saxophone. Their first piece sounded similar to a Disney music with high pitches. It made me image an evil queen lurking in the darkness. Suddenly, the conductor was switched with another and began to play a piece…

Florida court against Honest Air and Babcock for damages of $35,815.26 and breach of contract. The defendants argued that the RISC was a negotiable instrument and a ruling in their favor on this point would reduce any damages due to GMAC to less than the Corvette’s current value. The legal issue presented in this case is the requirements for an instrument to be negotiable. The question in this case is if the RISC meets the qualifications of a negotiable…

The Black Veil Heros “Every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.” This was once said by Andy Biersack, lead singer of Black Veil Brides.
