380 Words2 Pages

One problem I would like to help address in the Vision Dance Company is the unfamiliarity of some incoming freshman with the band environment; both marching band and concert band concepts.

For learning drill, I would first explain the general concepts of drill (side 1, side 2, inside, outside, front sideline, front hash, back sideline, back hash) and how it’s similar to

    The highly regarded claim of drill team members and directors is that students learn skills that the classroom cannot teach: “self-assurance, grooming, good manners, self-discipline, physical fitness, poise… share with others, to set goal… reinforced the values that parents emphasized…” (Pennington, Joyce E). Drill team members are regarded as athletes, and are held to the same standards. This means daily practices, weekly workouts, and excused dismissal from classes. Moreover, the same amount of commitment and dedication is expected of members.

    My church plays in the Turkey Bowl Flag Football Tournament every November. This was not only a time to bond with my youth group, but to also create friendships with other church teams. However, there was a problem: my team consisted of players from age 13-20; however, the 13 year olds had little-to-no flag football experience. Consequently, they got less playtime and slowly became discouraged However, as a leader I wanted to show them otherwise: I coached them, helped them, and give them a new perspective on the game.

The team then splits into half, so one half can spin saber while the others practice flags. We spend about an hour and a half then move on to swing flag,” stated sophomore Jessy He when asked about how they prep for competition.

    Soon, our coaches would give us choreography and the leaders were expected to help the members. So, I took charge and setted up sectionals to have one-on-one cleaning of the choreography with anyone who needed help on the team. When everyone has gotten the choreography down, we would bring everyone together to see how they do together in a group. We, now, clean everyone as a group since everyone can do the choreography by themselves. With the passion and determination, we got first place at most of our competitions for that year.
