What qualifications or experiences do you have that make you the best candidate for this position? I believe I am an excellent candidate for a leadership position because I consider myself a tenacious and responsible high school student. Having prior experience in leading has taught me many valuable skills and knowledge, I am willing to share with my peers. I believe a good leader should be respectful, strict, patient caring, and friendly. I consider myself all of these virtues with the all the prior experience I have gained. These experiences have made me a stronger leader through time. A section leader who is not only strict but kind can make their section strong and with a lot of potentials.

With these improvements, we will have a great year.
What are some things you would like to keep the same about band? I think our band has many great things. I would really like to keep the way we memorize our drill and how we have bonding time at the end of band camp. I would also like to keep the positive attitude because it really gives you self-esteem to do better. Another really good thing we should keep is the schedule for band camp, I think those times and days are great. Lastly, we should try very hard to always keep our band together and united.
Why do you want to serve band as a member of Student Leadership?
I would like to serve as a member of student leadership because I know I have the capability of improving my section and the band as a whole. I understand that that leadership is a big responsibility, but I feel completely capable. It would be an honor to be a section leader for the second time because I would love to show the knowledge I have learned through fails and succeeds this past
They need to start acting like leaders instead of normal kids in marching band, especially for the younger players because essential leaders are role models. If leaders are goofing off while they should be serious the rest of the band thinks it could goof off too. If a leader does nothing but complain, people are going to follow in his or her footsteps. Leaders also need to help freshmen with their parts because a lot of them do not have confidence in what they are playing. Section leaders should basically be a teacher during sectionals. For example, I basically taught Nate how to play both shows and several other things and he is a way better player than what he was. Young players flourish when they are encouraged by older
When someone asks me what marching band means to me, it’s very difficult to come up with a simple answer that everyone can understand. Marching band means belonging to something bigger and more worthwhile than just a “team”; It means having a stake in something that is a treasured part of both our school and our community. Even if it means going to bed feeling every muscle in my body ache and knowing I may wake up feeling worse, I always look forward to doing it all again the next day (and the next year). Marching band is a challenge that pushes the limits of my physical and emotional endurance in such a way that I can’t wait to come back for more because I know I will be a better person for it.
The band needs to be lead by strong people, who express all their qualities with pure excellence. People that have integrity and dedication to the things they love. I am one of these people, and I believe I can make a difference in our band, and leave a lasting mark on everyone who I interact with.
A leadership theory is a clarification of some features of leadership; theories have practical importance as they are being used for better understanding, anticipating, and controlling successful leadership. Hence, the main principle of any theory is to inform practice(Lussier and Achua 2009). Leadership theories could be classified into eight main categories: Great man, trait, behavioral, contingency, Situational, Participative, Relationship , management (Cherry 2010).
I am a quality candidate for the position because having fathomed throughout my years. As a struggling college student that employed 2 full time jobs in order to attend school, and support myself. Having had worked the majority of my life until becoming extremely ill, I learned life is nothing to take for granted. People condescend on the sick in society, thus take the sick for granted while kicking them to the curb. Overcome illnesses and obstacles one learns to accept challenges. Suffered numerously at one time, help me embrace unique situations. When a person is debilitated, and another is bedridden precipitating unemployment, and funds depleted only to find oneself trying to rear 4 kids, home school one while staying in the
When I was first elected as section leader in the TWCP Marching Band my junior year, I had a copious amount of hope in the people around me. Even though we did not share the same beliefs and interests, I felt that with my leadership position, I can still help those newer members thrive in band and make their time worthwhile. I was the first chair bassoonist in the top band and had placed well in multiple prestigious competitions, so I was confident in my abilities. This task was a relatively simple one for me. Always understanding of the younger students’ interests, I knew exactly how it felt to be in their position. Band was enjoyable for me, I lived for the competition
I believe the work ethic and determination I have acquired over my education and several years of work make me the most qualified to be
What experiences have you had which prepare you for this position (e.g perhaps as an employee, leader, or working with people different from yourself, etc)?
I would say that we do a lot of things well in learning community. What I think that worked especially well this year is the small groups in the fall. I know that we’ve talked about this before, but I think it was a really beneficial change that was made. It made it easier for everyone to feel like they were a part of the learning community and quickly build strong relationships within the small groups.
It is impossible to fully comprehend the appeal to the Gulf Coast High School Band Room unless you are actually a member of the band. All members of the Gulf Coast High School marching band spend the majority of their time in the band room, which is like a second home for most. The room itself does not appear to be anything special. It is a large room with a high ceiling, bright fluorescent lighting, and pink and green padding on the walls. The hallway maintains a terrible odor which nobody can quite determine the source of, and the white, vinyl tile floor is covered in a layer of disgusting things one can only dream of. Still, for some reason it remains a haven to about twelve percent of the student body. At first glance, it does not look like anything special, but when you open that big, gray door and step into the “band world” it becomes clear that it really is an amazing and wonderful place. It feels like the center of the universe.
So far, my favorite part of WPI is the a capella group that I am a part of. I am a part of the Ketones a Capella group, who invited me to join after the auditions (I auditioned for all three of the ensembles that accepted women). This would be my second time participating in an a Capella group; the first time was in the sixth or seventh grade, but I don’t remember it too well, so this experience still felt like a fresh and new start for me. I have really come to appreciate how different singing a capella is from singing with music. It’s a lot cooler to have every sound in the song come from the mouths of the people around you, including yourself, and adding up to form something amazing.
We started somewhat strong during pre production. We had a script, scene breakdowns, and started storyboarding. What I would’ve liked was more teamwork. I took charge and did most of the script and all of the breakdowns. While some of the members only really made some notes on the story and characters, or even just found simple photos on google for our character ‘sketches’. I also went out and bought the majority of the props and wardrobe. I didn't hate taking charge as it build leadership skills as well as raises my confidence with taking charge in future productions, but i would’ve liked the work to have been more spread out and equal.
Leadership is not defined by position. Leadership is an extraordinary responsibility given only to those willing to exude selflessness, decisiveness, and wisdom. CSM William R. Hambrick, Jr is an accomplished leader that embodies the values, attributes, and competencies that I aspire to convey to my subordinates. The impact that CSM Hambrick has had on my career and leadership philosophy is immeasurable. His far-reaching legacy is one of confidence, sound judgment, and empathy.
Our band was once again small (eighteen people!), but our sound was great. It was actually easier trying to teach a smaller group because of the difficulty of the moves we were attempting. Of course, I didn't help
Most of their answer was to be a leader most has a available and how he deal with staff. The leader should be good follower and responsibility about the work. Also should has a vision about the future.
