    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

    Since everything has a start‚ the greatest way to explain something‚ for the slightest extent of misunderstanding‚ is to start at the very beginning.

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

    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.
