Marching Band Playing in a marching band is fun. I get to go to home football games. Marching band involves learning the steps, memorizing the music, and learning the spots. Also I get to perform on the field and learn the steps. Marching band is my favorite thing to do because I love to perform and march on the field, it keeps me active, and I have fun doing marching band. I love to perform and march on the field. Also we perform music and moves on the field. We mark time,…

Toumei Answer is similar to how the narrator of “The High School Band” perceives the practicing high school band’s routine. Although Shintaro’s loss may be incomparable with the narrator’s loss, the same feeling of the once spectator affected by an absence is undeniably similar. The poem starts out in a warm September morning setting, the narrator describing a high school band that “is up with the birds and marches…

The antithesis of Band, Eli dreads calculus because he can rarely stay alert and interactive in the classroom. This day isn’t any different. Struggling the entire hour to stay focused, he only half learns the topics covered during the day’s lecture. Eli is quite intelligent…

it would be fun to just be in the park. My other place that I would want to go to is actually more of an event. Every August at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is the Drum Corps International Finals. Drum corps is basically professional marching band, minus woodwinds (flutes, clarinets, saxophones). As someone who participates…

Becoming a Drum Major has been in my mind since the very beginning of the marching band season. At first, I believed that being a Drum Major simply meant a leadership position in the band, with some responsibilities and much admiration. However, as the season progressed, I recognized the way the Drum Majors act and influence others throughout the season to do well. I saw that they inspired many people to do their best, and that was when I realized that being a Drum Major was more than the…

What does it take to make a marching band great? Pride! What? Pride! What? Pride! These are the words that echo on the dusty Center Hill Marching Band Practice Field.

This difference in numbers does not constitute the amount of musicians there are in the nation, let alone the world. Many musically inclined individuals begin to prosper in high school band, which then leads to the overall passion for music. Aside from this passion, being involved in such programs has additional benefits to the musician. The variety of bands, such as concert, jazz, and…

Day With The Marching Band The marching band is a band exclusive to the High School where you play for sports events and competitions. What if you, as an 8th grade student, had the first and possibly last chance to play your instrument for the marching band? The day of the event was August 18. I was very nervous, but I was excited at the same time. I was nervous to probably mess up the cadences and formations, but I was excited because this was a good experience. As you might not know,…

school years were coming to an end I asked some people who went to KM what it was like and looked up some pictures of my own. I noticed that KM had a huge campus and a very large stadium. I also made some visits when our Mill Creek band was invited to play with the KM band. My first thought about the buildings was that they were pretty old but as we got farther back towards the stadium and field I realized what a huge and awesome campus this was with all the tennis courts, swimming pool and…

This Marching season, the Lee High School band gladly presented, the true meaning of what it was like to be a Gladiator by showing strength, honor, and courage. Throughout the season the band had put in so much time, and effort to get their show together. Every Monday night, and Thursday night you would catch the band practicing, and practicing until every single thing was perfect. When Saturday approached that’s when all of their hard work would pay off. When asked “ How did this season go…
