As a major participant in my school’s music program‚ I have been given quite a few leadership opportunities. In the marching band‚ I am the music and drill manager and attended weekly student leader meetings and I am an officer for my school chorus. The biggest issue we tackled at the student leader meeting was effective leading. My section leader was often absent‚ and as the only other student leader from my section‚ I took on his role when he wasn’t there. I lead very actively and found it was

I was not in a class band‚ and although marching band motivated me to join a concert band‚ watching these guys play was the final push I needed to join.

Although I came into the band only playing for three

To prepare for these performances‚ marchers

It wasn’t a typical Friday until I got my morning headache courtesy of the freshman drumline banging out a rough cadence three months and counting after marching season and I stepped in a puddle of spit. And my new black converses just made contact with the remnants of the trombones’ spit valves. The brown tiled floor of the band room was disgusting‚ especially near the low brass section where the instrumentalists felt the need to pour their spit out everywhere. I lucked out with having my instrument

tight social group. Famous movies‚ like American Pie‚ make it hard for band members to express to the world all of the great things that marching band has to offer. It is hard for most to look past the stereotypical marching band geek and envision the advantages of being in marching band. There were many times when I would begin to discuss my experiences in marching band‚ and I would be cut off in mid-sentence by someone quoting the famous line from American Pie‚ “This one time at band camp…” I felt

For the past few weeks‚ I have been trying to get Alexa to become a part of the marching lions with her siblings but she keeps on stubbornly refusing. I have brought her with me to talk to some of the members in the band‚ see how much fun they have‚ and how close they are to one another. Hopefully we can convince Alexa to join the

so that person must be disciplined and have a good character. It is very important that a section leader maintains a sense of unity in the marching band. I don’t believe it’s right for a leader to only look at their section. They have to make sure that the members of their section realize that they are just as important as any other section of the marching band. We have to be able to stand as one.
