Marching Show Script

920 Words4 Pages

Hello Waukee! This is Kylee Kilgore from Minneapolis, MN and am very excited to see your show, The Persistence of Time, as you take the field. I have the honor and privilege of adjudicating you on both your visual and musical aspects tonight here at Valley stadium for ValleyFest Showdown. I wish you guys the best of luck and hope my comments can be of use as you prepare next week for state. Well here we go!
I just want to say first, that I love how you get on the field and your first opening set with the platforms making the minute and hour hands and the roman numerals placed around them. I love how everyone is scattered around the platforms and roman numerals with the two guard dancing down both hands. Very neat effect. Then here as we get into the marching of the show your fluttering to get next to the platforms is very consistent across the board. When you 're picking up the platform are you guys bending down and picking them up, or is your back straight? I can 't tell what everyone is doing. When you move the platform you need to make sure that you keep in time, although your marching technique still needs to …show more content…

WOW! What a fantastic marching band. I saw many great things out on the field today. Your show definitely engages your audience. Just remember that all throughout the show you have to give your best energy to give your best show. Control your energy, so your not getting tired and running out of energy at the end. Basically all of movement four has very high intensity tempos with lots of movement. You need to show the audience that you 're not giving in to the fast tempos and movement. That you can do it without getting tired and giving up. Having pride and loving what you do on the field, whether it be your love of music, marching, or the concept of your show can greatly impact your performance. All of that will engage the audience whether you have a bad run. Thank you again, Waukee for allowing me to adjudicate and experience your show. It was

  • Personal Narrative: The Benicia High School Panther Band

    575 Words  | 3 Pages

    I stood seven steps from the start line, hands sweaty and lips trembling. It seemed as if at any moment I would break the position of attention: feet at a forty-five degree angle, knees slightly bent, chin just above the horizon, and shoulders up, back, and down. Though I always dreamed of representing the Benicia High School Panther Band as their drum major, the lone figure in front of the block of blue and gold wearing a white British uniform and a brown bearskin hat, it never occurred to me that I was finally there. There was no way I could not be nervous; it was the last marching practice before my first competition in my career. Nevertheless, there was no escape.

    I think my parents are going to go deaf soon. Between the snap of the snare drum, the ring of a crash cymbal, the kick of the bass drum, and the clang of the baby grand piano, my parents hearing is declining. With percussion and piano I have been drawn to the more boisterous instruments. Even though I play some of the loudest instruments, my parents still yell at me for being on the quiet computer. It seems that my parents don’t value quiet as much as I thought.

    They remind me of when I used to live in Cuba. I felt very proud to have someone from my own country represent us in such a positive way. One feature that I noticed a lot in the music was call and response. There were also short breaks where some instruments such as the trumpet and piano. There were many instances where there was a lot of interaction between the drums and trumpets.

    When in reality they have to know how to dance and memorize movements that are not just playing an instrument and marching. And sometimes they have to play memorized music, and choreography while marching in perfect timing at a fast tempo and performing to an audience for seven to ten minutes straight. Watch the drum majors (the students that stand on a podium and conduct), and know where to go at each second all at the same

    Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long. As a band of over 125 individuals, it takes determination, pride, and confidence to achieve the goals we have set forth to accomplish. As a leader of the saxophone section, I know what it’s like to face failure, to overcome and turn it into success and to march on with confidence.

  • Marching Band Leaders

    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.

    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.

    We begin with the basics, drop spins. At first, all we hear is poles hitting the ground, but slowly we become more confident, we spin stronger and faster, until finally we are in unison. Our flags move in harmony, up, down, up, down, up down. Then we move on, beginning to learn our show, beginning to master the work that will become habit by the end of our season. After two weeks we leave band camp, marked by bruises, sunburns, and a passion for guard that lasts a

  • Should Marching Band Be Considered A Sport Essay

    750 Words  | 3 Pages

    Not only do you have to go to a specific spot on the field you must also march to them in a specific order, with the amount of time and steps provided by the drill and drum majors. Another important part of marching band is parades in which you must pay very specific attention to the people and things going on around you. While marching in a parade you must cover down and be in line with the person in front of you and guide in to stay in line with the people on either side of you. Parades are important however I’d like to steer back towards marching on the field in a show during a performance for a crowd with or without judges. During competitions band participants must perform for any number of judges.

    It’s a perfect night for a concert, warm, calm, and overall elegant. On Friday, September 11 in the Nightingale Concert Hall, a fabulously performed concert called the Argenta Concert Series, The Fifth Anniversary Season, directed by Dmitri Atapine and Hyeyeon Park, took place. In this performance the following musicians performed; Stephanie Sant’Ambrogio on the violin, Dustin Budish on the viola, and James Winn on the piano. Not only that, there was also a guest appearance by Jonah Kim on the cello. Although not the best turnout, there was still a decent audience.

    Unfortunately most musicals don’t call for the lead to wave his arms center stage while everyone else does jazz squares. This part of production, like all others requires intense patience, being in good shape helps but that might be asking a bit too much. Choreography rehearsals generally involve trying to talk over all the other actors, spending two hours running over the same 3 minute song, wondering why you even volunteered to be in this thing in the first place, and considering bringing deodorant for everyone to the next practice. It happens on your third run through of wide open spaces, you’ve just done your third toe touch of the day, you’re grumpy and tired, then it hits you, you know your stuff. When you’ve only learned your music everything just feels like a weird choir rehearsal but towards the end of your few weeks of constant dancing you see the sets getting painted over, replacing the remnants from the previous years play.

    The concert on May 5th turned out to be pretty good. The concert turned out to be enjoyable and was a fun time for people to listen to their children either play an instrument or sing. I heard multiple good things about our concert, things such as how cute the elementary kids were and how good the band played. I think we sounded better than other years. This is the best we will sound when compared to the years to come.
