conducting my research, I looked at several contemporary bands such as: Kings of Leon, Linkin Park, 30 seconds to Mars as well as other older bands such as Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Nirvana. Bands are very conventional in this genre meaning I too would be creating a fictional band- not many solo artists are seen within this genre, with the exception of Suzanne Vega, Lorde etc. With all this information I have decided to opt for a fictional band as it would be more conventional as well as please the

joined, playing an instrument had always been more of a hobby. I had spent most of my time with my face buried in books, so as to why I had decided to join, I wasn't sure. It had just been a gut feeling/calling. Before school started I had to attend band camp over the summer. On my first day, I was so intimidated. Everyone was so advanced and could play so well and I was just there, barely able to play my clarinet. I was the only person there who did not have prior experience. I felt so out of place

member of Kappa Kappa Psi, have chosen three problematic situations that I, as a brother would like to change. Being that our band program has a laxed and unorthodox way of doing things, mainly its band members, I’d like to touch on way to change them. First and most outstanding problem is discipline. Reason I say outstanding is because of the level of discipline we had during band camp has really dwindled throughout the season. Second reason is communication, which really is the root of most of our problems

school. I was a band nerd and powerlifter, but I was totally known as the crazy band nerd, who stayed in the band hall during her free times. I played the clarinet, I was not the best player, but I never gave up. Band consists of marching season and concert season. Personal, I loved marching season because of each routine Mr. Steele would come up with, but the most hated season was concert. Concert season consists of sightreading, and those were the time I saw the crazy side of the band directors. Plus

stable? And why is mesh unstable? Let's take the last first. Mesh is unstable for two reasons. For one thing, it's elastic. We can illustrate this using something that arrives at your door everyday with your newspaper: a rubber band. If I stretch my rubber band out and let it go, it appears to snap back to its original shape. Mesh behaves in similar, but less exaggerat ed fashion. If stretched on a retensionable frame or stretching machine, it lengthens, but when pressure is released it

I barely avoided tripping over my own feet as I made it to the opposite end of the gym where we lined up. The crowd quieted down and cameras flashed as Mr. Gonzales, the band director, counted us off to start Mission Impossible. Barely hitting the first beat, I shakily tried to count off measures as thousands of eyes stared at me, judging my every motion. Shoulders and back crying out, I slowly began to play louder and

Section Leader Application What band means to me is far more important than what i can put into words. I have marched with the FORCE for the last two summers and how proud i am to be a member of such a great band is outstanding.

I love playing basketball games while struggling not to hit the pole thing in

fallen in love with my marching band. The big hits that made the crowd roar, the lush, tender moments, and everything in-between made my experience transcendental. In addition, I practiced, sweated, and improved alongside friends that have become my family. I auditioned for the drum major position this year to put myself in the position to set that passion to work for the band’s improvement. However, as the competition season drew closer, I could see that the band was not where it needed to be. My
