Being a Drum Major Over my high school years‚ I have held more than one tangible leadership role. However‚ nothing has taught me more than my tenure as one of the drum majors for my marching band. My junior year‚ I decided to audition for the role of drum major‚ which is the main leadership component of the band.

since the beginning of this year the idea of being drum major has been floating in and out of my mind. I have spent many an occasion debating with myself if I wanted to keep marching with the band‚ one of my favorite things to do‚ or if I wanted to take my chances and try to make it as a drum major so that I could conduct‚ another favorite thing of mine. The lack of enthusiasm from my band friends does not help in favor of my wishes of becoming drum major. Though somewhere along the line my love for conducting

A human instinct The first thing we do when we meet someone new is‚ judge them. Judging others is almost an instinct to humans‚ we just can‘t help it. Observation is what “helps” us pass judgment on a person. Our observations play a big roll in the way we react to others. When we react to others we observe the way they interact‚ their physical appearance‚ and the way they dress. An introvert is a shy person‚ one who is concerned with his/her own thoughts and feelings. I am an introvert and I am

According to Gleason and Ratner (1998)‚ one of the properties attributed to language is that it is a uniquely human behaviour. Pinker (1994:334) points out that: nonhuman communication systems are based

Mixing Drums The kick drum big three: boom‚ smack‚ click These are three key elements that can be used to describe the sound of a kick drum. Boom is where the low end thud of the kick drum comes from. You can find a cleaner‚ modern sound boosting around the 50-60Hz area. A more traditional‚ ringing boom will be found a bit higher‚ perhaps in the 100Hz range. I typically use a normal‚ peaking band for the boom but you can experiment with a low shelving band here if your kick drum is lacking girth
