The High School Band Room 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
Marching Band Should Be a Sport in All Schools It’s a Friday night. The lights gleam onto the field. A roar can be heard from the crowd sitting in the stands. It’s halftime. Snares roll off cadence and the lines of uniforms fill the field. The band performs, reflecting upon the many long hours of hard work. What makes this setting so divergent from other game nights? Truthfully, it isn’t that different from any other sport. Many students, maybe even yourself, know what it is like to pour your personal
I have been in my school marching band since my freshmen year and it has been one of the most positive influences of my life. Not only has it taught me the value of hard work, but it has also allowed me to become a leader within it. I remember my first year in band. We were introduced to the leaders in the band and what their jobs were. The captains are in charge of the different sections in band, while the drum majors were in charge of the captains and all the band students. They were described
football field, the crowd filled the stands, and we were all stood at attention at the endzone. It was the home invite for the Kankakee Valley High School Marching Band and twelve other schools from all around. I knew that this show was going to be nerve wrecking, because of the prior practices. I had never felt so nervous in my life when I was waiting for my band director to call us to attention. When we did hear him, in response, all of our bodies snapped into position, very sharp and crisp. At the same
Marching band is a very broad field to participate in. High school and college band both have specific criteria they have to meet during marching season. But what are the differences and likenesses between high school and college band? In high school band, there is one show to perform and there are many long, grueling hours spent perfecting and fine tuning it. The show is not only for halftime spectating at football games, but also band festival and regional contests. High school band has a more
1. During the time I’ve been in high school I’ve participated in the Hamtramck High School Marching Band both freshman and sophomore years, Physics Olympiad during sophomore year, chess club during freshman year and a drafting competition (the Engineering Society of Detroit, where my group and I won $30,000 scholarship each) during freshman year. Outside of school, I helped out at my local place of worship, the Al-Islah Islamic Center. During the summer, I would volunteer to help the kids improve
It was Freshman year, and I was already feeling nervous to go to a high school. I have always been imagining what I will experience for the next four years, thinking that it will be like one of those high school movies involving the jocks and the nerds, but that will most likely never happen. I was just some student who mostly acts quiet around people. I do have some friends, but not a lot unlike the popular kids. I also don't have a bunch of muscle in my body, so I don't expect myself to

high school.His high school was not funding the band, so the music and instruments are very old and damaged. That is the equivalent of having a bad sports team, like someone else’s interest. His band teacher is trying to ask the district to fund band for the students, but he doesn’t see any changes even one year later and now it is his Sophomore year. He had vowed himself to stay in band in his school life, that includes college. But the question to him is “Why am I just in band?”, he should do more
sister, who’s 11 years my senior, played the flute when she was in high school and my Nana played the clarinet when she was in school. I remember saying when I was old enough, I would play the flute just like my big sister but simply left it at that. I remember being in the fourth grade and the teacher asked if anyone wanted to join my school's band, my hand went straight up. Whenever I originally thought about joining my school's band, my mind was only on playing the flute, but as I was reading the sign
I sat with Chris and Jo beside me as we watched the other high school bands. The sky illuminated bright orange and purple as it fell below the earth and let darkness overcome the sky. I tried not to let the other bands intimidate me, but one did. Their color guard was mesmerizing as they waved their flags, the music was crisp and I couldn’t detect one person who was out of step. The butterflies in my stomach went into a frenzie, flying as fast as they possibly could. Once they had completed
from a sentence" School was out and the sweetness of summer had finally set in, with nothing to look forward to but what would be the best summer of our lives. My best freind Ben and i were relaxing by the pool soaking up the sun as we started to talk about what we wanted to do for the summer and the rest of our lives. In the midst of our conversation our mutual love of music came about and he shouted these words which started it all...."lets do it man, lets start a band!" Now i had played

and toes were going numb. When the doors to the arena finally opened we all breathed a sigh of relief and rushed inside to warm up. Inside the arena, the excitement of all the fans could be felt. People were talking about how much they liked the bands that would be performing, and many were amazed to be there because it was their first concert. Many other people also seemed to be doing the “pre-concert ritual” which is seen at many concerts, and that is getting as much beer in them as possible
