423 Words2 Pages

Mostly every one has and activity that they enjoy that is also educational. It could be anything from a club after school, a gym class, just a certain class, or a specific activity that you like to do in your class. So an educational activity that I enjoy Is participating in the Elizabeth Davis Middle School Band Program. My school 's band program is so much fun. The band program is so much fun because I love to play my instrument, we get to travel, and I am In the Tri-M Honors Society.
The first reason that I enjoy band is that I get to play an instrument. I play the Trombone. Trombones are different from most other brass instruments because it has a slide instead of a valve, which most other brass instruments have valves like the trumpet.

    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.

Next Saturday the Liberty High School Marching Band would be competing at the FootHill Band Review and every member had to give it their all if we wanted to have a successful practice. It was a brisk October night, the leaves on the trees were turning a beautiful auburn, and the sun disappearing into a golden sea behind Mount Diablo.

    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.

    I start off everyday by getting ready and heading to school. When I get there, I walk into the choir hall and prepare for an hour and a half long rehearsal that I know will leave me tired. 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.

    Curtains open. Lights come up. Music starts. Six little dancers, three and four years old, dressed as bumblebees, lined up across the front of the stage.
