The Band

Throughout my whole band career, I have had some problems. Several honestly. However, I have always powered through them. Problems all the way from fifth grade to my freshman year of college. I am ready for the bigger and better things in the band, but I know that we have to push through these small rough problems before we can get the better parts. Within the EMCC Mighty Lion Band, some problems that bother me the most are people's attitudes, discipline, and careless people. People’s attitude…

Going too band camp was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun. I was thrilled to be going too band camp for a week. the ride there was very loud but I was tired so I just put my headphones in and fell into a deep dark sleep, because I was getting mad because they think it is funny too yell at seven thirty in the morning. It took us two and half hours to get too Northwood University. When we got there I ran off the bus I had to get help with my heavy green suitcase. I got my key too my room…

Band has produced the best experiences I had in my life. It was the flint that needed to be striked and once sparked the fire could not calmed. The fire burns with a white hue and joins with other flames to become stronger. This is the passion for a love of music and the community of other musicians joining together. I am happy to say that i regret nothing when it comes to band. When I was younger, I would hang on to my parents and i would never venture out of my comfort zone. As i grew older I…

When I started high school, I knew that the only thing that I wanted to join was the school band. I knew that going into this I had to be a part of the marching band, but I did not quite understand what that entailed. The marching band was so much different that what I was used to coming out of middle school, but I have not regretted my choice to join once. When I began my junior year, I was made co-clarinet section leader with, someone who I considered my friend, Crystal, a senior at the time.…

When people think of marching band, they tend to believe it is a joke or a waste of time. Marching band is a more time consuming activity that starts late in the summer. Yet the people that are not involved in the Fine Arts are more likely to have these false accusations. While most believe marching band is not a sport, is for the unpopular kids, and requires no prior skill, it in fact requires a great deal of time and dedication. A lot of marching bands practice on a daily bases, implying the…

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…

“You may take the field for competition.” Marching band has always been something I wanted to do since I entered North Middle School band. When I first signed up to be in the ‘Rebel Pride’ marching Band at Franklin County High School, I had no idea what that year would have in store for me. ‘Will I fit in?’ ‘Will anyone like me?’ Those were all questions I asked myself. I can honestly say that the four years I was in marching band was the time of great learning and discovery of myself and the…

school before August for marching band. Day in and day out, all of us worked our hardest, having fun, helping out, and getting to know each other well. It was hot, many times over a hundred degrees, although sometimes it felt worse, as if we were getting baked in the warm sun rays. However, we were there for a purpose, and we all shared a common goal, a dream, to become better as a marching band. Of course we were exhausted, after long hours, but I owe my life to band for making me who I am.…
