of strangers surrounding me‚ I know that I could not be in better company. To think that a myriad of musicians assembled haphazardly from across the nation would form such a fine group.

An average marching wind ensemble practice begins with a simple stretch and review of the basic marching techniques. They begin one week before the fall semester starts. Normal “band camp” days involve basic technique practices on the field in the morning‚ rehearsal after lunch‚ and a combination of the marching and music after their dinner.

One would mostly likely see instruments such as trumpet‚ trombone‚ snare drum‚ piccolo‚ and bass drum in a marching band. Marchers are likely found on football fields‚ in stands‚ and on the streets in a parade. Instead of having “games”‚ marching bands have shows‚ or performances.

For the past few weeks‚ I have been trying to get Alexa to become a part of the marching lions with her siblings but she keeps on stubbornly refusing. I have brought her with me to talk to some of the members in the band‚ see how much fun they have‚ and how close they are to one another. Hopefully we can convince Alexa to join the band tonight.

Being shielded by Hollywood‚ society views band members as the weird geeks in school. What most do not think about‚ are the benefits that band members gain from being in such a tight social group. Famous movies‚ like American Pie‚ make it hard for band members to express to the world all of the great things that marching band has to offer. It is hard for most to look past the stereotypical marching band geek and envision the advantages of being in marching band. There were many times when I would begin

As a general statement‚ each member of the band has to remember every single movement‚ every single piece of music to be played‚ and how these two items are to be played or marched. Not only is it tasking mentally‚ but physically as well. For example‚ every marching player carries their own‚ usually heavy‚ metal instrument by only the strength

good place to start is my devotedness to the band program. This year‚ I played in the following bands: Marching Band‚ Jazz Ensemble‚ Jazz Band‚ Winter Percussion‚ Wind Ensemble (occasionally). While I am obviously not the best in the school at my instruments‚ I definitely have a connection to the band program that few others have considering the amount of time I put into it. Another quality I would like to mention is my willingness to learn. I want the band program to excel next year‚ and I am up for

It is similar to Broadway performances in that performers have to actively engage
