The day’s will be hot and long, you will be tired, but the reward is greater than anything you could imagine. If you’re a freshman that plans on doing marching band, you’ve come to the right place. You can always ask someone in band what to expect when it comes to marching, but if you 're shy and don’t want to ask, I understand. I am a freshman that did marching this season, so I know just what is to be expect by this point, and I’m here to help.
Before you play any sport you have practice and learn the basics. This practice is what we call band camp. Band camp in a nutshell is waking up early to go to your school practice for a while in the morning, then you get a break for lunch, and times will vary depending on how long or short your band hours are. During the day you will have …show more content…

Sectionals is when you get into groups with your instrument group and there you will be introduced to your section leader. The leader is like the mom/dad of the group you could say. He/she manages the group, gives playing tips and helps the new comers understand what music is. They’re like your mini director in your section.

For your own safety I recommend you bring plenty of water, and wear sunscreen or a hat. The sun is unforgiving and without theses couple of things your band camp experience will be miserable. Some other things I recommend is watch the upperclassmen, they know what their doing, and if you are a girl or a guy that likes to wear makeup, don’t. You will be sweating and all that pretty makeup will be wiped away by the end of the day. Another thing is don’t care about your looks, everyone will be

    I have marched with the Pride of the Hill band since my Freshman year, and experienced some marching in eighth grade, and it isn’t as easy as it seems. I remember watching my siblings march when they were in high school and I was still in primary and intermediate, and I used to think that it looked easy and that it wasn’t really a sport or anything. But after experiencing it myself I realized the amount of work you put into it, the teamwork needed to accomplish things, and the competitions where you hope that all of the hard work, from band camp in the summer, the early morning practices during the week, and the Thursday night rehearsals during the

  • Music Industry Persuasive Speech

    828 Words  | 4 Pages

    Have you ever heard someone say ‘music is a universal language’? A language that, regardless of what country you’re from, one that you can communicate with someone from the other side of the planet. And yet, people nowadays seem to completely disregard the music industry, even though music itself is therapy for many people, and one of the greatest forms of entertainment. A quote-unquote sensible person would say the music industry is ‘oversupplied, undercompensated’ and that ‘the ability to earn a living is not strictly correlated with talent, qualifications or ability.’ Many people believe you cannot merge a passion and a job together, as they are supposedly two different things.

    You might be thinking about the schools that rich kids go to in movies and TV shows or you might be thinking about Catholic schools with small children all wearing the same colored school uniforms. This is probably what most people imagine. We associate uniforms with students of foreign countries and private schools. Thoughts of students dressing in school uniforms have led to stereotyping and a gloomy outlook on schools pushing for a uniform policy. We live in a society that says you must express yourself and be an individual at all cost, but some fear that uniforms display us as robots who lack the ability to express ourselves, however, this is far from the truth.
