...debate dating back many years on if schools should fund band and vocal music programs or not. Almost all high schools and colleges across the United States have these programs to some degree whether they are competing at a championship level or are having a difficult time trying to field enough members to hold a program. According to Statista, in 2014, there were 27.98 million musicians in the United States (Pladson). With all of the participation in music, these individuals are receiving many benefits. Although critcs who express that band and vocal music are a waste of money, schools should continue to fund these programs. One reason why music and band are beneficial to students is the knowledge they can learn from being involved in these extracurricular activities. Music programs teach individuals in ways other subjects cannot. Being a member in the band or vocal music can teach a person how to work together as a team. The playing of certain instruments need to match with the other sections of the band for the overall music to sound adequate. If one is louder or softer than another, those parts of the band will not...

...1. What problems does Robin Hood have? What issues need to be addressed? Ans: The Increasing size of the band had been the core problem for Robin Hood, because it was getting very hard to manage the band. The core issues were the lack of discipline in band and the cost of buying the food was draining the bands financial reserves. 2. Do Robin Hood and his band need a new mission? new objectives? For example: why not accept the offer of the barons to assist in securing King Richard¡¯s release from prison (give me pros and cons for that possible new mission, and do you suggest adopt this new mission)? Ans: Yes, Robin Hood and his band need a new mission, a new objective and a good strategy. He should adopt a new mission to free the people from Prince John and return king Richard to the throne. Robin Hood can also join with barons to collect the ransom to release King Richard. This option might seems risky but he has to do something, which is better than doing nothing and getting caught my Sheriff. His present strategy has been outdated and it could not work at the time when his enemy is too strong and well planned. 3. . What strategic options does Robin Hood have? Is continuing with the present strategy an option or is the present strategy obsolete? For example, why not try to end the campaign by killing the Sheriff; why not try to move to another...

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was established in 1983 by Atlantic Records. It is located off the shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio. There are a total of 317 bands and performers that have been inducted, including: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Journey, Boston, and even N.W.A, to name a few. The problem that the Hall of Fame is facing today is that they are starting to induct artists that songs do not fall into the category of Rock and Roll or are not even artists at all. This Problem can be connected to a lot of smaller problems, like allowing being too strict on who gets into the hall of fame, and should...

...Successful Business Plan (for the Artist) Prepared by SaskMusic (the Saskatchewan Recording Industry Association) http://www.saskrecording.ca/ The following document was created strictly for those interested in understanding the different aspects of a business plan. There are several models for creating business plans and as such, this is only one possible model. Make sure that you are writing a business plan which best reflects you as an artist and your music.

The new wave cover band performed well-known hits from the 80s and 90s while portraying “nerds” – members wore thick, horn-rimmed glasses with tape holding the nose bridges together, they wore their pants too short, ties unkempt and neck braces. They were quintessential throwback “nerds” made famous in the classic film Revenge of the Nerds (Kanew, 1984), complete with grating laughs, social awkwardness and sexual repression – all played for comedic effect. The band’s nostalgic playlist includes hits from such acts as Billy Idol, David Bowie, Cindy Lauper, Duran Duran, The Cars, and Madonna (Perfect World Entertainment, 1992).

...thought of. The early times metal bands are even conservative and they have nothing to do with Satan in terms of religion. But most of the metal bands used satanic elements in lyrics, in music or on the stage. However, the intension of it is to attract listener’s attention. On the other hand, there is a small group in Norway actually worshipping Satan. In spite of the fact that they are in small numbers, their big actions made people talked about themselves. WHAT IS THE RELATION BETWEEN HEAVY METAL AND RELIGION? Heavy metal is a music genre which has very hardcore sound and brutal theme in terms of lyrics. It covers the issues like life, death religion love betrayal etc. It is generally associated with black color and heavy metal bands seem very tough wearing black and silver stuff. This is some kind of requirement to be a metal band, because this music deals with the issues which are not mentioned explicitly by any other genres but heavy metal, then that music is something strong and brave. Therefore, who makes that kind of music should appear in the same way. If and only if, they ought to have a strong theme. This strong theme comes from the music which is made by powerful electric guitars and from the lyrics which are especially related to death and religion. Death is literally a very small part of life, because death comes suddenly, so, many people do not remember this issue in a daily life. However, death is what ends a whole life. That is why heavy metal chooses this issue...

HR professionals can use the map for many reasons such as identifying skills and team capability, building role profiles and identify areas that need development (HRPM, CIPD, 2012). Professionalism is defined as a continuous development of outcomes anticipated through appropriate behaviors and conduct that are needed in order to have beneficial business relationships (Gian Fiero, 2008). The principles of professionalism among others commit professionals to have some values such as be customer focused, have proper ethical standards, accountability and reliability, be proactive, responsive and have the willingness to learn and study continuously (CHS, 2012). The HRPM has four bands, ten professional areas and eight behaviors. This tool helps HR practitioners develop themselves from assistants to senior managers; moving from Band one to Band four… The bands are related with the competence...

...laws that limit free expression. The case of Tinker v. Des Monies was rather a simple one. The case of whether the first amendment applied to students or just adults. The students argued that they should be allowed to wear armbands to display their praise for the people of the dead during the war. The staff thought this shouldn’t be allowed, mostly because of their influence of their actions might disrupt the learning environment of the class and (possibly) the school. This is understandable. They only wanted was best for the students. Although they are doing this for the best for the students, isn’t this a little restricting? Yeah sure, they don’t want the students to form a riot, but not allowing them to express their feelings from the war by not letting them wear arm bands, worse case not allowing them to return until they didn’t wear it? That’s the reason why the case was started in the first place. This could be avoided if they were allowed to wear the armbands in school…to a certain extent that is. Besides, this could be the exact reason why a riot might form, the restrictions is causing a stressful strain to the students and couldn’t take much more of it. In 1965, 3 students Mary Beth and John Tinkers and one other student in Des Moines, Iowa decided to wear black arm bands to school in representation of mourning the dead and protest the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was a military conflict fought primarily in the Southern Vietnam in the year between 1959 and 1975, the...

...single meaning. Some of the things that tattoos stand for are family, friends, unforgettable memories, meaningful quotes or pictures… So all permanent body art always has a meaning behind it otherwise it’s just a plain meaningless sketch with empty symbols. So if it represents someone’s character, why do they get judged or laughed at? Often people get discriminated for having ink on their bodies by many believers who either think that your body is a gift and you should keep it safe or they may believe that tattoos represent something evil or even satanic. Obviously, we shouldn’t really care what others say but at some point it may touch us in the sense of differing from others and making ourselves feel bad about our body. Yes, our body and our life is a wonderful gift that we should treasure but why should others care about what we decide to decorate it with? Tattoo’s should not give a bad first impression to anyone, it should only tell a little about their personality. Speaking of judgmental twits, no matter how famous a celebrity with tats is, there will always be someone who will criticize them for their own choice of life. The majority of new alternative rock/ heavy metal bands have members that are covered in...
