The Band

I decided to research and study: Do balance bands increase an athlete's performance? Athletics is a critical part of a child's development and many athletes resort to their sport skills to enter college and pay for it. Many people ask how can their sons or daughters become better at their favourite sport to be successful with it in their future. Balance bands were manufactured in the early 2000's and immediately became popular after many famous athletes like David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo…

In 1962 a new blues cover band was discovered – the Rolling Stones. Inspired musicians by artist Chuck Berry, they became the first Rock and Roll band in history.

In 1962 the Stones secured a gig at the Roll-daddy club in Richmond, England where their popularity spread. The numbers of fans increased rapidly over the weekends they played at the bar, they…

occupied, which was my sole defense against the depressive thoughts trying to leach their cold fingers through my mind. Music started as an innocent hobby, but soon crept throughout my whole life. My first season with the Waterford Wildcat Pride Marching Band was doomed for failure from month one. Unknown to my mother and Mr. Laswell, the director, an eavesdropper listened to their private conversation. “How is Tiffany doing? I mean this is her first…

When someone says “the Beatles” you most likely picture the iconic band, the Beatles. That’s because in 1956, four friends made a band that stormed the whole world, climbing their way to the top. The fab four consisting of Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison. Their journey on being one of the biggest influences in rock ‘n’ roll history. From their major works, to their billions of records sold. Their life during the Beatles, and the achievements made after. This is a…

what others despise. The band room in Upper Darby High School is a room that is loved by many and, whether in the music department or not , is visited constantly from dusk to dawn. Though from an outsider’s perspective, it is very challenging to understand the reason as there are the many attributes the commoner may dislike.

when I walk into my band class. Immediately, I can hear the loud sounds of a boisterous saxophone playing their part or the lilting sounds of a flute practicing their solo. These sounds fill me with happiness and they help to lift my mood. I love being in band. I have been a part of band for six years now and I love it even more every year. I enjoy the exhilaration of the performance, or joking around with my clarinet section. I am delighted that I originally chose to be in band, as it is now a…

solving mysterious cases that no other person could solve, not even the police. Sherlock is an excellent detective for his use of observations, deductions, and imagination. Holmes uses these skills in the stories: “A Study in Scarlet”, “The Speckled Band”, and “Silver Blaze”. In the short story “A Study in Scarlet”, Watson first meets Sherlock Holmes and is surprised because Sherlock knows Watson has been to Afghanistan.

The man and the band that no knows anything about. If they do know something they are never quite sure if it’s true. Nick Blinko is a British outsider artist, schizophrenic, and lead singer and guitar player in the experimental Anarcho-Punk band Rudimentary Peni. Yes that’s “Peni” as in “Penis” Little is known about Rudimentary Peni and even less is known about Blinko. What there is to know is shrouded in mystery and all seems to come from a very small pool of original sources. Pooled here is…
