possible. Although a leader must be approachable they still need to discipline their group or section in appropriate ways so that they may show respect and pride for the band. Outside of the marching field or classroom a leader needs to maintain integrity‚ work hard‚ stay away from bad habits and represent themselves and Leon Band to the best of their ability. In my opinion‚ I was a successful leader this year and I qualify again this year. During the whole year I worked hard in my position as a

individuals is whether marching band is a sport. If you asked most people they would say no‚ but of course they don’t see 2-3 hour rehearsals or the kids who cry when they don’t get accepted into their dream colleges because of auditions that just weren’t up to par. They only see kids in “silly” uniforms blowing into or beating on instruments. People don’t see a Marching band and think that they work just as if not harder than a football team. I believe Marching band is a sport because it’s performed

Out of all the extra-curricular activities I have listed‚ marching band is the most significant one. In marching band‚ I met a lot of people that became very close friends with me. My clarinet group was like a small family. We practice and compete together. I was one of the favorite ones in my clarinet group‚ because I kept everyone happy when the group are going through hard times. For example‚ if I recall it correctly‚ during my freshman year‚ we competed in a competition‚ and got first place in

Band Camp This is the story of my first day of marching band. I was 15 and it was July 20. I was one of about 40 to 50 freshmen in the marching band. I had been waiting all year for the opportunity to join the marching band. I will cover 4 major areas of the day. First‚ how the day started. Second‚ when we hit the pavement to start learning. Then‚ going through the first part of the show for the first time. And finally‚ the end of the day. When I first woke up that morning I was extremely nervous

Since everything has a start‚ the greatest way to explain something‚ for the slightest extent of misunderstanding‚ is to start at the very beginning. My question for the history books‚ is where did swing music originate? Upon further research I came to the conclusion that the United States is a relatively young country‚ and I decided to extend my question to take in the influence the world has had on the development of swing music in the United States. Swing can reasonably be referred to as an international

As I slide my hands into my marching band gloves‚ I notice details that I ignored during the 4 years I was in Eastern Regional High School. The gloves are white and made of cotton. First‚ I focus on my wrist. A Velcro strap‚ surrounding my wrist‚ fastens the opening. As I stroke the palms of my gloves‚ I notice the fabric has tiny bumps to create friction and allow for a secure grip. The fabric covering the back of my hands has a soft‚ smooth texture. Next‚ my eyes move up to my fingers. I recall

Mighty Buffalo Marching Band‚ which performed the memorizing halftime show. Our show‚ entitled‚ “Wavelength‚” was filled with swaying visuals‚ rotating circles‚ interlocking diagonals‚ musical runs‚ dynamic soloists‚ the whole kitchen sink. However‚ I did not just arrive at show time the day of the first football game. Weeks of hard work and tedious preparation went into that spectacular halftime show. As an overwhelmed freshman‚ who was having my first experience of marching band‚ those weeks were brutal

Concert Report #1 The jazz concert I attended took place in Fullerton College Theater on November 13‚ 2012. The Fullerton College Jazz Big Band and J- Train vocal jazz was very organized and well structured. The first song was the Open Invitation which was performed by the J- Train Vocal Jazz. The song was so interesting because the soloists had great voices. Everyone around seemed interested and amused. The J- train vocal jazz also performed the songs “Nancy McFlannery’s Cannery”‚ and” Fugue in

memorable song was “One O’clock Jump‚” written by count Basie and Harry James; performed by the Count Basie and His Orchestra‚ recorded in 1937 by Decca. This was the Count Basie Orchestra’s theme song which was an excellent example of the Kansas City bands’ relaxed but energetic rhythmic approach. Structure of the tune: ten choruses of twelve-bar blues‚ the basic arranging technique involves heavy use of riffs and call-and response patterns‚ divided between the brass and reeds.

State University Marching Band has been a big part of The Ohio State University campus and band history for a long time. The Ohio State Marching Band has influenced many people around the state and the country. Although becoming a member of The Ohio State Marching Band takes great effort and discipline in high school‚ staying a member of the band all four or five years of college takes even more tenacity.
