Pep band

We then quickly remembered that we had to play pep band for the varsity game. Dramatically we changed out of are sweaty jersey and into are fancy clothes we had plan to wear the day before. Racings down the hall, with no shoes on, my friends and I went to the band room. We put together are interments, some faster than others, and grabbed are music ran back to the gym. We go up the stairs to the stands on the other side of home, down the steps, and into the bleachers just making it in time for the first song. As the pep band ends are last song is the National Anthem, the speaker announces the names of each player on both teams and the game begins. We bring are interments back to the band room and we head straight to the concessions. The aroma of the food smells amazing after a game. We grab something to eat and sit by are team. It is a remarkable time to play volleyball and have friends to play with…

day went because it primarily involved what happened afterwards. This was a Friday and I went to strategy club after school as I would usually do. The characteristic that made this day so unique was that this was the first day that I was going to strategy club after school and be playing in the pep band at the football game way later. I have been to several pep band rehearsals over the summer and a couple football games as well, but the fact that I was actually going to a football game after…

essential to the learning process to ask your teacher 's question. There is no way that someone can succeed in the class if they don’t know fully what they are doing. I could improve more in my organization. It is something that I have been working on this school year. It is hard for me to keep everything nice and organized, but I manage to make sure that I do it. There are many activities that I love doing outside of school. One of the main ones would definitely be the band at Spring Lake. I…

of flutes and the smooth noise coming from saxophones. Every morning it’s always music and noise in the band room, and that’s what I love about it. The band room, one of the most well known room’s in the entire school. You can always hear music coming from there at any part of the day. The people in the band community are always up for playing a tune with their bandmates. Starting from a young age, these people have grown up with music in their hearts and always willing to show it. At concerts,…

Throughout my high school and college career, I had a specific group with me along the way: musicians. In high school, I was in the marching band and the concert band. In college, I was in the orchestra and the pep band. Band for me wasn’t about playing the music. Music, to me, is just a hobby. What these group of musicians gave me was a sense of family. We would spend hours upon hours together with a common goal. In high school, that goal was to cheer on the football team or entertain a…

When I was young, nothing made me happier than my parents surprising me with tickets to a Badger game. It didn’t matter if it was football, basketball, or hockey, I was excited to see the Badgers win, and hear the band celebrate with them. One of my favorite memories is from High School Band Day in 2014. I got rejected to homecoming on the bus there, but once I got in the stadium and saw the marching band rehearsing, my sorrows vanished for good. I couldn’t believe that I got to play during half…

These musicians do not care about the conventional life of having a job and family, but instead focus on expressing their views in artistic ways through their music. In some cases, music was the only motivation of living for some musicians, especially in areas of unemployment and distress, where young people had very limited opportunities. This was the reason why a stereotype developed, considering musicians depressed and low-life individuals who were not contributing to society. Not bound by…

Seven years of my life I played an instrument in a band for my hometown of Watertown, WI; little did I know that I would learn much more than playing music. Band Ensemble is a group I was motivated to join because of my brother and friends. After I joined the group and began playing the tuba, I always felt like I had a place. Being in band, I felt like I was a part of my community. First, I was drawn to band because I was interested in being a part of a team. Band was a lot of people coming…

This is when I joined my first real band with a couple of college kids from my surrounding area. Those next 6 months of my life are to this day, the most important to date. In February of 2007, after months of playing shows on the weekends and practicing every night with my new band, things started to pick up. The band wanted to start touring full time but I was the only member still in school. We also had mention of a record deal coming down the pipeline. I finally said screw it and when I came…

The Classical music performance had an order to it in the way the musicians walk out, sit down and how they played. The crowd would be very respectful and professional while watching the orchestra. The crowd would clap when need and would be quiet when needed. The orchestra would perform in a beautiful theater not outside on an open stage like a rock concert. A rock concert differs from that of a classical performs. The band usually has no order to way the play. They just kind of all walk on…
