Pep band

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…

The Grateful Dead were the movement existentialists were waiting for. The Grateful Dead, starting in San Francisco, we’re a band surrounded with free love and a large quantity of psychedelics. Their band is largest cult band around. Their fans and followings are known as Dead Heads. The Dead used their music to have people come from all over and be themselves. In choosing three different Grateful Dead performances, there is a clear diversity between the three. One performance is in response to…

The three songs that were listed online by Bright Eyes, are supposed to be claimed as “good” or “bad” music by listeners. I personally classify all three songs as “good” music because the artists, Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nate Walcott, have great voices and they sing about matters and things that are important to them. In each of the songs, the Bright Eyes artists talk about different topics that convey different messages, such as love for example. In all three of the songs, the artists all…

I shadowed a junior, who will be referred to as Sarah, through 6 class periods. The classes observed included Government, Informational Technology (IT), band, lunch, and a free period during which Sarah worked in the office. The high school in which I observed showed its age, there was a very warm feel to the building. The first classroom I was in grew almost unbearably warm, there was still a chalkboard in the room, and the room itself felt crowded. The feeling of being crowed carried through…

during the war; there was plenty of brass instruments accompanied by bands and voices singing together. The music and bravery from the soldiers went together beautifully. The soldiers feared dying in battle but with a little music could boost their adrenaline.…

This essay discusses what hunter-gathers are and how it fits with a band organization, what life was like for Bushmen and the role of kinship and friendship, and the safety nets formed by the Ju/’hoansi people. I will evaluate the definitions of these types of groups, and what they are made up of. I will give examples of how the interwoven ties aid in survival. More specifically, I will give examples from the Bushmen of South Africa Kalahari desert area known as the Ju/’hoansi. First,…
