The Band

One mistake in music is a failure, and I strive to have everything perfect in music. This ambition to have everything perfect is a result from my audition to Advanced Concert Band. Being able to perform with the Advanced Concert Band was a dream of mine ever since I experienced what a real ensemble can display. The day was upon me faster than I could ever have imagined. Knowing the standards that Mr. Macrina expects from everyone made the audition much more tense. One mistake in the music would…

High School band, whether it be marching band, concert band, jazz band, pep band, etc…, is an invaluable source of reference for the real world. It grows students mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically by teaching how to work hard and not just quit because times are getting tough, prepares students for the real world by giving said pupils responsibilities beyond what most high school students have, and high school band also builds comradery among its members. Band is an invaluable…

9-6-17 Memoir I never imagined I would be part of the band. When I was younger, I used to be really shy and I would only talk to a few people because I wasn’t really social. When I got to fifth grade, I had the option to join the band. At first, I didn’t really think band was my thing. But, my parents convinced me to join. They bought me a clarinet and I was really excited! On my first day of band, I wasn’t able to make any noise come out of my clarinet. I…

The Tsartlip Indian Band dispute & Provincial Wildlife Legislation. Summary Aboriginal rights and particularly those assigned by treaties have many times collided with other bodies of law. Aboriginal persons also have much experience of legal and judicial matters decided with inadequate knowledge of their legal particularities or in other ways that act against Aboriginal interests and entitlements. The dispute to which this paper refers offers an anomaly in a case decided in 2006 by…

I thoroughly enjoyed observing Dr. Silveira conduct and lead the IC Concert Band in rehearsal today. Dr. Silveira led a very efficient rehearsal that resulted in a lot of playing by the ensemble, and significant improvement. At the beginning of the rehearsal, I noticed that flutes, clarinets and saxophones were there. I discovered later that this was because they were given sectional time while Dr. Silveira worked with the rest of the ensemble for a portion of the rehearsal. This allowed him to…

The UNL Symphonic Band concert, I Raise My Song To You, was on Tuesday, October 13. The first piece was the Overture to “Candide”. It was in a major mode and in triple meter. The piece started off with a quick paced forte dynamic with monophonic texture. In the beginning, brass instruments would play a melody and the percussion and woodwind instruments would play a melody in response. There is a decrescendo about halfway through, and the piccolo comes in quietly playing the high-pitched melody.…

In the television special, “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas,” it uses irony to convey its theme. The plot somewhat resembles that of the short story, “The Gift of the Magi,” by O. Henry. This is because both apply irony to express a theme. In “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas,” Emmet and his mother Alice live on the side of the river and are very poor. Christmas is approaching and they have no money to buy the other a present. They both stumble upon the talent show taking place in town. The…
