The sponsor used a remote-controlled drone camera and other high-tech equipment to record a synopsis of the performance in HD ("SW 32nd St. Navy Brass Band Recap"). You can feel the community environment of veterans, the local civilians in a military-dominated city, and their families gaining that sense of community through music and by the uniquely military nature of its transmission. As with the nature of the military, the specific band members rotate in and out with their tours of duty but the main instrumentation played remains, the show continues to go on, and the 32nd Street Brass Band lives on (Reichow 2017). Much with any musical culture, the main repertoire remains homestead but each new addition may add one’s own ornamentations or influence and the performance may evolve over time keeping up with the times (Reichow 2017).…

In Roll With It: Brass Bands in the Streets of New Orleans, Matt Sakakeeny explores how New Orleans is very different from the other stereotypical American city as he writes about it as “utilize voices and instruments as technologies for producing subjectivity, identity, and culture” (p.6). Sakakeeny also uses fieldwork to learn about and explain different power-related processes, such as personal and professional mobility, which will be discussed in greater detail. Because Sakakeeny’s approach…

Joining band We were in 5th grade and the teachers said we were allowed to choose some things for our schedule. One of the things we were allowed to choose was a fine arts class, which meant we could choose band, choir, or theater arts. When my sister was in 5th grade she had to choose, she chose choir, she was a natural at singing. I think my parents thought I would choose choir also, because my sister did. That day I had music, when I walked into the room I saw two people that I had never…

and fifes were not the only musical sound during the war; there was plenty of brass instruments accompanied by bands and voices singing together.

" Take over the world when I'm on my Donald Trump stuff" is a song by LiL Wayne. LiL Wayne, what stuff is Trump on? The only things he has been on is stupid stuff, because he is running for president. I do not see why he is running he is not fooling anybody with that sew-in. Maybe when he gets a new hairstyle he can have my vote, but it will never happen. Why should he be president? If he's going to be rude to women by saying " If I don't like you your fat, pigs, dogs, slobs, and…

1. Have you served in this position before? If you have, what went right, what went wrong? If you haven’t, did you interview? Why or why not? If you weren’t selected, why do you think that was? I have previously served as a section leader for two years, and would say the trumpet section has made good progress over this school year. With the little number of trumpet members in the band, the section has done a lot to step up to the occasion and play the part that may have called for double…

7th at 7:30 p.m. The performance took place in the Sartell High School Auditorium and featured performances by the Sartell Concert Band and the Sartell Wind Ensemble. The music selections featured, as the name would suggest, primarily popular pieces, including movie themes and Broadway medleys. I will be evaluating the performance of the Concert Band. Their pieces included “Pippin”, “Jurassic Park”, “Alan Silvestri: A Night at the Movies”, and “Music from Pirates of the Caribbean”. The first…
