Personal Narrative-Marching Percussion Band

568 Words3 Pages

Hello. So this is gonna be a really honest talk. This year 's been miserable for us for this entire year. We 've done our best to hold this group back, we 've had crappy attitudes, we 've done everyrthing incorrectly. And I 'm generalising, it 's not everyone. But I 'd say it 's more than half. I 'm not gonna take it anymore. I feel personally offended by it. That that behavior is a reflection of what you 're doing to the ensemble that I 've created. The conversation was discussed with doing away with the Marching Percussion program today, because of all the whining, the complaining, all this "oh my instrument" bull crap, and we can 't get crap together out here. I am livid about it. I designed this monster. I started the Winter Percussion Program. I have said that we 're gonna make marching percussion a …show more content…

And now, it 's just a bunch of bull crap. I am so livid about it. Because we took something that could be really great and special, and we destroyed our priorities, and we 're ruining it for everyone else. And that was the exact reverse of what it shoiuld have been. I 'm not going to take it anymore. It 's going to be a shutdown. A dreastic shutdown. Because now I don 't need it. I have 35 people that want to play everything, marching only. I need 5. I can have a marching band with 5. Okay, so if you think you 're like the pinnicle thing that 's going to hold the marching band together, it 's not. It 's not. So I 'm just going to stop. I 'm not going to tolerate it anymore. These crazy ideas of what we should be doing instead of what we are doing in here are done. I 'm not going to take it anymore. And I know everyone 's being penalized right now when it 's not everyone. I get it. But I 'm not ready to individual start uh calling individuals out. But we 're there. And that 's what we 're who 's going to start getting penalised. So this is like the last warning final straw and it 'll be "You. Out. Done. Give me your sticks,

  • Marching Band Leaders

    This past year it was a little different, in the sense that we discriminated against the trombones. There were some issues that created a divide between the sections, one of which being that not only the saxes, but many of the woodwind sections felt that the trombones were the most favorited section based on the fact that Kelcey was a drum major. None of the discrimination that was present in our section was necessary. In order to create a better band we do still need some arrogance but we also need to respect the other sections and our own section members, which is my next point. Discrimination within sections is in reality a bigger issue than the previous one.

    Out of all the things I would do in high school, nothing would impact me more than joining the North Rangers Marching Band. It would give me more skills than any other aspect of my life that would prepare me for a future and allow me to evolve from a shy child to an adult with skills that prepared me for my future. I went into high school as a shy kid, with no true direction, at least until I discovered my schools marching band. Although coming in two years behind most of me peers, I knew that this was where I was meant to be, and with that, my mind was set and I was determined. Throughout the next two years, I would face countless difficulties with this that felt at times like tests of my willpower and what this band meant to me, but luckily I would push through, and in the end, would be left with a stronger person.

We always start with ten or twenty minutes full of physical exercise. When that is done, we move into breathing exercises that always somehow seem more physically demanding. Finally, we get to singing; which is my favorite part of the whole day.

    The transition from childhood to adulthood occurs when an individual is able to recognize the impact he or she can leave upon their community, gaining life skills doing so.
