Personal Narrative: Dayton Christian High School

I was a percussionist during my high school tenure. As a school musician during my freshman year, I was in the high school band at both Northwest Christian and Dayton Christian. I went to Northwest during the first two quarters of my freshman and the high school band only had one concert, Then, I switched over to Dayton Christian during the last two quarters of my freshman year. The Dayton Christian High School Band was much larger than Northwest’s and performed two concerts, one at the Dayton Christian Cafeteria, and one out at Cedarville University. During my sophomore year at Dayton Christian, I was part of the high school band and the pep band. I was a bass drummer during pep band season; we performed at a stadium in Monroe every home football
game on Fridays and every home basketball game on Fridays. During my junior year at Troy Christian, the middle and high school band were forming a marching band for the first time ever. For the first time in my high school tenure, I learned how to march in a group and in time while playing on a marching bass drummer. I don’t remember the pieces we played, but it was something that I really enjoy and will remember for the rest of my life.
