individuals is whether marching band is a sport. If you asked most people they would say no‚ but of course they don’t see 2-3 hour rehearsals or the kids who cry when they don’t get accepted into their dream colleges because of auditions that just weren’t up to par. They only see kids in “silly” uniforms blowing into or beating on instruments. People don’t see a Marching band and think that they work just as if not harder than a football team. I believe Marching band is a sport because it’s performed

Out of all the extra-curricular activities I have listed‚ marching band is the most significant one. In marching band‚ I met a lot of people that became very close friends with me.

Concert Report #1 The jazz concert I attended took place in Fullerton College Theater on November 13‚ 2012. The Fullerton College Jazz Big Band and J- Train vocal jazz was very organized and well structured. The first song was the Open Invitation which was performed by the J- Train Vocal Jazz.

The J- train vocal jazz also performed the songs “Nancy McFlannery’s Cannery”‚ and” Fugue in

As I slide my hands into my marching band gloves‚ I notice details that I ignored during the 4 years I was in Eastern Regional High School. The gloves are white and made of cotton. First‚ I focus on my wrist. A Velcro strap‚ surrounding my wrist‚ fastens the opening. As I stroke the palms of my gloves‚ I notice the fabric has tiny bumps to create friction and allow for a secure grip. The fabric covering the back of my hands has a soft‚ smooth texture. Next‚ my eyes move up to my fingers. I recall

Mighty Buffalo Marching Band‚ which performed the memorizing halftime show. Our show‚ entitled‚ “Wavelength‚” was filled with swaying visuals‚ rotating circles‚ interlocking diagonals‚ musical runs‚ dynamic soloists‚ the whole kitchen sink. However‚ I did not just arrive at show time the day of the first football game. Weeks of hard work and tedious preparation went into that spectacular halftime show. As an overwhelmed freshman‚ who was having my first experience of marching band‚ those weeks were brutal

he meant‚ he was at least saying that jazz is noticeable‚ but not necessarily understandable by words. (do not really know exact cite where I have got this quote) For my concert review‚ I went to see the performance of Maynard Ferguson and his big band at Jazz Alley on Jan. 12th 2005. I asked some of my friends to join and they gladly agreed. Since two of my friends were a musician themselves and loved seeing live music whenever possible. They even went ahead and made a reservation. First time

of music most people listened to was the high beat "Swing". Swing was said to have been born in 1938 when Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers recorded "George Swing" (Microsoft music).
