Music was the one thing that both his chi and him could agree upon.

My life has been full of many opportunities to participate in things that I love and these opportunities have taught me fabulous lessons. Through my persistent hard work in the Clark high school marching band I have been very fortunate to learn important lessons about positivity, service and respect. Being in my high school’s marching band has drastically changed my life for the better. I would not have made it through all the curve-balls that school has thrown at me had it not been for the marching

the wood smothered my lips as I echoed a song throughout my wooden flute. The city streets around me were dirty and loud, but I could only hear my flute above the rustle and bustle. I played sweet mishmashes of medleys, getting lost in the gentle noise, when suddenly I noticed someone, or rather something watching my performance.

Having adult responsibilities means that people will start to be dependent on other people and that they have a responsibility to help meet their needs, such as a responsibility towards one's family. Often those responsibilities can be forced upon someone due to certain circumstances and as a result their personality can completely change.

of the most enjoyable class i’ve taken this year. It was a happy environment where you can be yourself, and have fun. I took a lot of things away from this course, and made a lot of memories. At the end of the course we had to perform in two concerts at a local church. A couple weeks in advance we would go to the church during chorus class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I really enjoyed taking the bus and getting to leave the school for about a hour. The first day we went to the church I was kind

London on the 27 of May. This event was organized by the group of BA students from London Tech Music School. Our cooperative efforts in the organization of event brought good results and were appreciated by the audience. From my point of view, the concert was really successful.

By undertaking this event, it was brought to our attention

were three sections where people can sit which in the left side has barely anyone sitting, in the middle section it was full, and in the right section there are half as many people in the middle section. I can see that most people that came to the concert are in their 20’s to 30’s, which there were no old people or teenagers. You can hear echo’s when people are talking in the auditorium. The audience became silence as the lights were shut off dark. Soon there was a light shining

For the second concert report, I went to go see the Paul Di Blasi Band at the Culver City Hotel. This was actually the second time I had attended this venue, it was decorated similarity to last time. The venue was very vintage in terms of its decor, it truly had an old school feel, it made you fee like you were in the 1920s. The hotel was dimly lit, and had a jazzy and supper club atmosphere. Almost everyone was dressed up but also casual, and the music was perfect for this setting. From the moment

Saturday, May 9, 2015 I attended a concert featuring my favorite R&B artist by the name of Ginuwine. This concert was located at Riverside Theater in downtown Milwaukee. The concert was named One Night Stand and also included two other R&B sensations by the name of Tank and RL who was a member of a group called Next. The concert setting was very intimate. The artist made it a point to connect with their fans and even went as far as getting into the crowds. It was low lit lighting with shades

One Direction Concert It was a sunny July day during the summer of 2015, and my family and I were headed to, the one and only, One Direction concert. Needless to say, I was completely and utterly obsessed with One Direction since eighth grade and my obsession hadn’t stopped. It had always been a dream of mine to finally see the faces that I’ve worshiped for about four years up close and personal, and we were going to do just that.

For most of the performance the audience listened and watched in awe, but in some portions of the performance I noticed the audience shouting and dancing to some of
