Personal Narrative: Australian Pop Punk Band Called 5 Seconds Of Summer
Music is a window to a girls screaming, insecure, boy crazy soul. I just happen to be one of those girls who gets attached to bands. Just the whole thing with attractive guys and great music, how could a teenage girl not be interested? One of my favorite bands is an Australian, pop punk band called 5 Seconds of Summer. Anyone who knows me well knows this. Last Christmas I received tickets for their concert. Now usually I’m a very reserved and demure person but let’s just say my mom still has the video of me crying. Another person who knows how much I love 5SOS is my best friend Kellie. She completely understands what it means to be completely in love with a person you’ve never met. Which makes it no surprise that she’s the person I ended up inviting to come to …show more content…
I was able to finally truly enjoy my favorite music live. There truly is nothing like hearing music you emotionally connect to live for the first time. It is a truly amazing experience that I believe everyone should get a chance to live. It was nearing the end of the concert and I was singing as loud as I could. They members came back out at the end and began throwing tshirts. I honestly believe that if i hadn't sung and yelled so loudly and unabashedly I would’ve never been thrown a t shirt by my favorite member of the band and that would’ve been a shame. Ending the concert on that incredibly high note just made the night all that much better. On the way back to the car it seemed so quiet. Obviously my ears were adjusting from the change in volume and I was able to reflect. I was and still am so thankful for the opportunity to see my favorite artists live in concert. On the way back to the car it was dark and quiet. We got into the car and because we’re both addicted to our phones, me and and Kellie both charge our phones. As our phones turn back on, we start getting notifications that we had missed while our phones were dead. The first thing I do is open Snapchat and go through my

    When the performance was over, she posted the picture to her Instagram account and thanked Kelsea online for taking time out to visit with fans. She got a little sad when she found out that she could have purchased a CD at the concert that could have been used to get into a fan after party. However, the next morning when she saw that Kelsea had “liked” her photo on Instagram, the world was right…

    It wasn’t quite the usual Saturday morning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We woke up at 6:00, brushed my teeth, and did a final rehearsal of the songs we were going to perform. Then we ate breakfast, where I ate after dinner rolls with chili sauce like it was normal. extra slice of chocolate cake. Then we got dressed up in a white formal shirt and black pants. We were ready for the performance which was from 10:00 to 10:28. Then we rested for thirty minutes. We drove to the town hall to perform. We carried our instruments. Then I went backstage and had 5 bars of kitkat. My hands and feet were cold of nervousness since this was going to be our first performance. I bet the nervousness was a million times more than the excitement.…

    It was late at night and I couldn’t sleep. I had had an awful day and some rather dark thoughts were running through my mind, but I knew what to do. I grabbed my headphones off the headboard and plugged them into my phone, then turned on the album Vessel by Twenty One Pilots. I slowly began to feel better and eventually dozed off. Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun’s music has always helped me through hard times. The subjects they write about, the significance of their songs, their absolute devotion to their fans, and the fact that they have literally saved my life is what makes them my heros.…

    Bands of America was very cool this year! The bus ride went very well, only problem being that every bump hit would rewind the movie that was playing. Once we got there everything went very smoothly. I got to help the band moms put the hat boxes in order! Warm ups there were a lot of jitters in the air it seemed, but not bad ones. Waiting to get on the field was extremely nerve wracking. But, once we got on the field everything seemed nice and mellow, like we were back on the field at home, it just had a different crowd and background. I feel really good about the performance. We did the best we could do and our best got us third in our class! Heading to the hotel and getting to lay down and rest was very nice and much needed. The food was…

    There have been numerous times in my life where I’ve failed at something but there was one specific failure that really opened my eyes to what it really meant to fail. When I was in high school, I was in the band, my instrument of choice was the saxophone. While in the band it is required that you learn your sheet music before you attend any school event. This is to ensure that everyone is doing their absolute best and will make cuts to perform in every function the band was asked to participate. As I mentioned earlier, I played the saxophone and had always made cuts until one day our band instructor issued out new music. Being the person I am, I glanced at the music and said “I see no need for me to practice this, it’s so simple”. Later that…

    I arrived tonight in Nashville at eight o’clock. The trip was the best one so far, it was an overall flat drive there besides going through the Ozark Mountains. I just got here and I already love it, you could hear the music playing as soon as you entered the town. I checked into the Clarion Hotel, in Downtown Nashville. I went out after I was settled in, there was an open mic night at the Nashville Symphony. Almost everybody that got up on the stage had a very southern accent, and all of the music was very country. It was an extreme difference from what I normally listen to back in Minnesota. The concert was so fun I forgot about the time and before I knew it it was already three in the morning. When I fell asleep in the hotel, I didn’t wake…

    As a little girl I wanted to be just like Hannah Montana. As I got older, I wanted to be like Rachel Berry, a small town girl living out a big town dream. I wanted to be looked up to because of my musical talent. Walking into Mrs. Kaiser's 7th hour, 8th grade band, I didn't know that music would have such an impact in my life. Music has become the spark of my intellectual curiosity. There are millions of combinations of key signatures, chords, melodies and rhythm in the world of music just waiting to become attached to a sheet of staff lines and spaces. Ever since my first experience with music in the fourth grade, my mind began to explore all these combinations of problems. Music helped me with math, english and gave me a place to escape when I was put into undesirable situations. In Middle…

I’ve actually talked to most of these band’s members by the time I graduated high school. The only ones I haven’t talked to are the members of Project 86, but that changed over the summer and what happened when I met them changed my life.…

    My love for music began in middle school. At that time, I was socially awkward with very few friends. To compensate, I buried myself in music. My dedication led to many honors and admiration from my peers. However, when I got to high school, my relationship with music fundamentally changed. The arrival of an overly demanding teacher coupled with a long episode of depression robbed me of my passion to play. As time progressed, the pain I felt became too much to bear, and I became desperate for an outlet in which I could express myself positively. My quest led me to music once more, but classical was no longer the genre of choice. It was in hip hop and rap music that I found the will to overcome mental illness.…

    The car ride there was filled with anxiety. My mind was racing with terrible thoughts with things that could go wrong, and my leg was shaking violently like a jackhammer. I kept picturing MICDS celebrating together as we lowered our heads in defeat. I tried to pull myself out of this. This was not the mindset I needed. I turned on the radio, in attempt to bring up my mood a bit, focusing on the music and not what’s about to happen…

    We had been setting up the stage and the audio all week but on the first day of the concert we starting setting up chairs around 3:00 because the doors opened up at 4:30. The stadium started to get full and all of the ground seats were taken. I could see cameras and local radio personalities such as Melissa “Wade in the Water” and Jerry Smith of 103.9 The Light and I'm not a shy person so I definitely introduced myself. They were so nice and Ms. Wade even let me walk around with her for a while while she met with different entertainers for the night. What was different about this is that is wasn't just the big named gospel singers that were performing but there were church groups and small choirs and this one mime team that caught my attention in particular called Face 2 Face. I gravitated toward them for one, because I mime myself and two, is that they were extremely powerful dancers at only the age of eleven. Jordan, the male of the duo gave me a poster of the two of them and I asked him for his autograph and the female of the duo, his cousin jumped in said sassily “I'll sign it for you” and I chuckled. They were definitely one of my favorites performers that night.…

    We were able to attend this gala afterwards because we had VIP tickets, and I felt so overwhelmed by being surrounded by so much musical talent and affluence. I can’t even begin to imagine how much those tickets cost everyone who attended. But this soloist was there, and with absolutely no fear in my body, I ran up to her to tell her how beautiful she looked and sounded out there. I’m also positive that I said I wanted to be like her when I grew up, embarrassingly enough. She just laughed and said thank you and that was that, but that night gave me the determination to work so hard so that I, too, could make my Carnegie Hall debut one night.…
