The 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…

norms in the musical world at the time was Janis Joplin. The performance in particular that sent her into stardom was her performance at the Monterey Pop festival. Joplin was performing a cover of Big Momma Thorton’s song “Ball and Chain” with her band at the time Big Brother and the Holding Company.

Narrator's Perspective || "Thank you Brisbane (idk)!" Aisha yelled loudly to the crowd after the band took their bow. The crowd cheered in return as they ran backstage to change their clothes. "That was a good show," Kyle (it kept correcting to Luke???) said with a lopsided smile as he put his bass on a rack. "Yeah!" Allison grinned. (The Mike Wazowski's) 1 Minute 'Til Midnight was the name of their band. It consisted of Aisha, the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Robyn, the lead…

I shadowed a junior, who will be referred to as Sarah, through 6 class periods. The classes observed included Government, Informational Technology (IT), band, lunch, and a free period during which Sarah worked in the office. The high school in which I observed showed its age, there was a very warm feel to the building. The first classroom I was in grew almost unbearably warm, there was still a chalkboard in the room, and the room itself felt crowded. The feeling of being crowed carried through…

Most people that attend a concert buy merchandise and would want to show it off at school. For example a student at Hamilton Middle School. Ben Brewer, the student who wore a rock band t-shirt to school, before the rule was even made. But because of this he got suspended for a week. The rule states that you cannot wear any musical groups on a t-shirt to Hamilton Middle School. This rule is in place because Principle Carter was worried the t-shirts may disrupt learning and, or cause trouble out…
