Lancer Band Accomplishments

172 Words1 Page

I began participating in band in 5th grade and throughout the years I have discovered that music is something that I truly enjoy. I originally decided to continue on with band during high school just for fun, unaware on how much of an impact it would have on my life. Through band, I have met some of my best friends and I have experienced once in a lifetime opportunities like performing at Walt Disney World, during a parade. Over the past four years I have drastically improved my musical ability and my leadership skills. Most importantly I have learned the value of a job well done. In the Lancer Band we pride ourselves on our disciplined marching style and our ability to always put out a great show no matter what the circumstances. I've learned

    Music is more than that it’s something beautiful produced based on the musicians. For example when we play in class when you feel the emotion and the feeling of playing it’s just so wonderful.

    Marching band is one of the most underrated sports, but is also one of the greatest due to the physical and mental strength required to to be successful at it. Instead of making this essay all about why I should be a section leader of next years Alto Saxophones, I have decided to write about why a specific team of saxes should be next years section leaders. After watching the huge change in the flute section this year with three section leaders, I asked myself, if the flutes could do it, then why can’t we? The section has pretty much accepted that Kristina will be a section leader as long as she applies. A majority of us have no problem with that because she deserves it.

    Music is about expression for people that don’t get the chance to show it. For the people that know how it feels to be heard but never listened to. And for every kid that walks through the hallway feeling completely alone in the same blur of people you are looked over everyday. For the kids that knows how it feels to be the slowest in the class because no matter how hard or how long you study, you end up with a failing grade. Find your passion what you love the most.

    To the average person, the high school marching band is nothing more than a bunch of geeks that play during half time at the football games or monopolize the benches by the band hall, but to me, it is so much more. To me it is a family, a safe haven, a creative outlet, a home. I have been involved in marching band for three years, going on four, and I wouldn 't trade the experience for anything. When I entered high school as a scared and awkward freshman, I immediately had three hundred people that I could rely on. The program quickly became like a second home to me and opened up a whole new path in my life.

Music is just something that comes naturally to me and on every Christmas, i make it a point to get something music related even though i 'm pretty sure my mom is getting sick of it. I grew up with music and it grew up with me which is shown through the many musical phases that i had. I had an Eminem phase, Punk-Rock phase, Alternative phase and many more (well,except country because, lets face it, country music is pretty bad). Simply put, as i gradually became the person i am today, music has reflected my character better than any other.

    This has given me many skills including creativity and confidence to perform under observation of a large audience. It has taught me how to manage a group of people, which can be especially difficult when they are young due to the diverse nature of personalities and abilities. It has given me the chance to develop some skills in teaching and mentoring both adults and young people. Playing in the band has also helped me with my team working skills; when helping in the junior band, I have the opportunity to work with others and work together to help the learners to get as much as they can from each weekly session. I also play 2nd trombone in the senior band; the band would not be able to operate without good teamwork skills, especially since we practise twice a week; this demonstrates my commitment and perseverance to new challenges.

    Many high school students struggle with time management and self-discipline, but there is a way to help them learn these attributes—band. In general, music can help people learn and function easier; it can be—and quite often is—used in therapy. Music helps people focus easier, and it can improve their mood. Band, specifically, can help students with many aspects of life; it can keep students healthier, and teach students valuable life lessons. Participating in band—marching band or otherwise—teaches discipline and punctuality.
