Personal Narrative: Is That Raiden From Mortal Kombat Spinning Records
"Is that Raiden from Mortal Kombat spinning records?" - Me

I walked into the room and immediately felt like a dickhead. (Which honestly, is not that unusual). I was the only one not in Coachella garb or wearing Native America inspired face paint. There was a person (I assume) on the stage wearing something close to what I think a lightning god would wear if he was spinning records. The thing was halfway through his set I guess the electricity went out for a second and everything skipped. I guess he needs to work on his spin skills (if that is even a thing). Needless to say I was the sore-thumb-basic-late-20's dude hanging by the bar...with a backpack on...in a club. I looked awesome.

One of my best friends is a DJ and I am very proud of him

    Hoodie Allen Review

    The show was an amazing experience and the songs he performed were executed with great energy. It started when new up and coming artist named Sooshe opened up for him to get the crowd going with his personal DJ and techno vibe, but everyone was just anticipating Hoodie take the stage. Overall Sooshe did a great job getting everyone warmed up and even had the whole crowd chant “Hoodie, Hoodie” before he left the stage. Soon after the lights dimmed and Hoodie’s live band started playing one of his hit songs, “The Chase is On.” The whole crowd went crazy, escalating louder and louder as Hoodie emerged from backstage. Getting everyone to…

    15 Minutes Of Fame Research Paper

    I arrived at the Tepala Shrine Temple to play my first gig in front of a live audience with my new band "Ben Joehoff and the Cards". I'm Robert, the lead guitarist in our four member band. I walk into the building with my shoulders back trying to exude confidence as I carry in my two guitars, a laguna and a fender Stratocaster. As soon as I'm through the door I start looking for my friends without trying to be too obvious about it. At the same time I walk slowly toward the room where all the loud band and people noises are escaping. I stop at the doorway. Glancing around the room, I see the judges at their table, the audience, and all the other band…

    Personal Narrative: Kitkat

    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.…

    Rave Review

    The night was perfect and the crowd was friendly with a diverse group of all ages old and young. Crowds of people filled the parking lot with sounds of Kid Rock blasting through car speakers and people enjoying their pre-show cocktails. Outside the venue Kid's cars were roped off for fans to check out and take photos. Entering DTE you could smell the aroma of Clarkston's own Union Station Restaurants famous mac and cheese and the Woodshop Resaurants barbeque. As we made our way toward the concert area the local Shriner's were selling Kid Rock/Shriners t-shirts with the proceeds going the organization. I really thought it was great that Kid was utilizing local buisness owners and charities during these hometown shows as well as the low dough show he was offering!…

    Rockabilly Festival at Pitzer College

    I enjoyed myself in the rockabilly festival because this was a new experience for me. I saw greasers everywhere and I felt like an outcast in my regular clothes. People were dressed so classy that it made me want to be a greaser for the day. Women wore long fluffy dresses with their hair all curled up with so much spray that it looked like it took hours to do. Men had their blouses tucked in with jeans that had the bottom folded to give it a greaser look. Men also had their hair styled up nicely with so much spray like the women did.…

    Senior Project Essay: A Career As A Professional

    For my senior project I choose to learn the ropes of being a professional DJ, under the watch of my mentor Tim Ball. The reason I choose this as my senior project is because I have a lot of interest in music and want to use this opportunity to try to help myself to being more comfortable being in front of people. Before starting this project I knew very little about what it takes to be a professional DJ, so while I work on this project I will be learning new skills and how to manage a DJ business. My mentor is known to the DJ community as DJ Outlaw; he has been a DJ for the last twenty years and has done over 3,000 gigs. He also has a valid Federal Communication of Commerce license (FCC License). He owns his own DJ business…

    Personal Narrative: Bands Of America

    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…

    Untalented Djs and the Rise of Rave Culture

    Electronic dance music, more commonly known as EDM, has recently become a powerful industry in mainstream-entertainment. EDM features DJs playing prerecorded mixes, and famous DJs like Tiesto and Skrillex are paid millions of dollars each year for performances. Despite this popularity, many musicians refuse to affiliate their careers with DJs, arguing DJing requires no musical talent. Ed Montano, a musical history professor at Macquarie University, believes DJs are unfairly exploiting the music industry for money and self-proclaimed fame via technologically produced music. However, University of London professor Bill Crow claims EDM is an innovative and creative example of music evolution that should be embraced in the music industry. Despite Crow’s optimism, Deadmau5’s astonishing success as a DJ proves his argument most credible. He claims DJing is not meant to showcase musicality, and admits EDM performances merely consist of pressing ‘play.’ He argues that sharp studio skills result in success. Each of these arguments fails to develop reasons why DJs are so popular – it has nothing to do with musicality or studio production. The success of mainstream EDM DJs is mostly due to the recent rise in rave culture among teenagers and young adults, along with the captivating atmosphere of these dance events.…

    Jazz Brass Band Concert

    In between sets, the performers would speak about jazz history and how the purpose of jazz back in the day was to get everybody dancing and happy, and in being told that, it allowed me to listen closer to the music and try to feel what that was like. Looking around the room during the performance, I would see a number of people nodding their heads or tapping their feet along to the music. Even people who didn’t initially seem interested in the performance upon arriving looked genuinely interested in the performance because the music sounded so inviting. It made me curious to see what it would be like to watch a jazz band perform in a real venue where you can get up and actually dance. I would really consider attending another performance in the future just to feel that same intense atmosphere that was created that…

    Final Paper

    Compared to all the other concerts that I have gone to, that concert was a change in the atmosphere. I remember last month going to my sister’s Jazz concert. I remember walking in the theater a little bit late, but remember hearing the sound of the trumpets in the background. As soon as I walked in, I realized that it has totally different atmosphere from what my expectations were for the Jazz concerts. Unlike all the other concerts I attended, this concert intended for small audience, probably around a hundred people. Also, this jazz concert seemed very relaxed and comfortable. Most of people were dressed very casual, a lot of them were the kid’s parents and they were wearing jeans and shirts. But the musicians were dressed in suit and dress in all black. I remember that in a…

    Personal Narrative: The Band Who Changed My Life

    Instead of having a terrible time, it was the best time I had all summer. Little did I know, this would be an event I couldn’t wait to return to the next summer. I signed up for keyboard and on the first day, everyone played a song to determine what band they would be in. I immediately thought I was the worst one there. At the end of the day, they asked if anyone would be interested in singing backup and I didn’t even think about doing it. I thought it would be terrible.…

    Personal Narrative: Live Concerts

    I went straight back to practicing because the concert would come to me in a blink of an eye. My heard was beating so hard it felt like someone was pounding hammer on my chest, I was shaking, sweating, disey, everything you could possibly imagine I felt like I was about to faint. Guitar has been one of they most important things in my life since I first started at age 6 and it just started to come naturally. I was doing great while practicing and had finally nailed every song I played. Playing up on this stage with this band would soon decide my future, if I fail I could never get this chance again and if I do good I could soon be playing all the time, my dream would come true. I had always had my own band with my friends since a young age and we were good but had never played on a stage, and if I were to do good at the concert my band also could start to become…

    Bca Entrance Essay

    I’ve also enjoyed dedicating part of every summer to improve my musical skills by attending various camps, including Longlake Camp for the Arts, Eastern U.S. Music Camp at Colgate University and Interlochen Camp for the Arts, where I was just invited to return on the basis of last summer’s performance. While I know that there may be others with comparable or better talent, my passion serves as the constant motivation for me in music as well as other aspects of my life. For example, being a dedicated Honor Roll student, taking weekly Temple classes and performing community service has been important and demanding as well. Managing these priorities has taught me a lot about tenacity, friendship and balance.…

    How Music Changed My Life

    Despite the uncomfortable positions people were put in, you could still feel the excitement and bliss leaving the crowd like smoke. The adrenaline surpassed expectations throughout the show, there was so much movement, from people jumping and dancing, to fists in the air so tight you could see their white knuckles a mile away. For a moment, the lead singer told the crowd how not many would know a song they were about to play, since it was before they became well known, and obviously, I knew it. As they began the introduction of the song, some of the crowd grew calm and quiet, while those who knew the song kept the same up-beat mood present throughout the rest of the…
