All-Ohio State Fair

The event that I attended for the Civic Engagement Project was the Kansas State Fair and Same Hunt Concert. The Kansas State Fair took place from September 11, 2015 at 8:00 AM to September 20, 2015 as 5:00 PM in Hutchinson, Kansas. I attended both the Kansas State Fair and a concert for Same Hunt on September 13, 2015 at 7:30 PM in Hutchinson, Kansas. The purpose of the concert was entertainment and the purpose of the Kansas State Fair was to showcase agriculture, industry, and culture in Kansas. It is a great way for different diversities to share in common interests while also learning about Kansas cultures from all around the state.

Purpose: The purpose of the following document is to highlight to the Board of Heritage Christian Academy the current state of, the challenges faced by, the vision for, and the future potential of the band program.

After a long period, the advertisers make their advertisements’s implication desalting so that the audiences become easier to accept. But the viewers still feel the goods and brand information and accept the advertising stimulation. Especially, this method efficiently works in the medical commercials. In the Humira commercial called “ A Day at the Fair” , there is a pretty youthful blond female at a fair to talk about her Ulcerative Colitis( UC ) and everything in her daily life which cause it to fortuitously flare-up. Before she talked to her doctor, she thinks that all the anguish from UC flareup is normal. After using Humira, the young woman restarts to have a care-free day and be free of her issues caused by Ulcerative Colitis. Since Humira need to put all the information about the brand, the product and the UC to attract people and help them easily understand , the commercial primarily employs both iconic and indexical sign (mode) to represent the symptoms and inconvenience of owning Ulcerative Colitis via indirectly showing what they are, at the same time, the use of different arrangements connotes the meanings and emotions linked with the conditions, to express that using Humira to treat the Ulcerative Colitis will never go wrong for people who are worry about the UC.

Nothing compares to the Iowa State Fair was the theme for 2015 fair. In 268 days the Iowa State Fair will start and approximately 1.1 million Iowans will attend this fair. The first Iowa state fair was in 1854. The first years of the fair moved from city to city until the current location of East 30th and East Grand in Des Moines determined the site in 1886. The state fair is noted for it’s varied attractions. The entertainment ranges from agricultural, contests, venders, rides and arm wrestling.

This year I got to participate in a youth outing with the youth at my church. Corp Cadets Academy, is a young people’s trip with The Salvation Army for the weekend. On October23-25,2015where the whole division of Florida gets together. It is a time where youth are able to be themselves, have fun, get away from home and worship the Lord and are able have a time alone with God surrounded by people who are trying to do the same thing. At the event, I got to see different types of talents on each day and see how the youth would praise dance in different songs and, put on plays and skits for us.

As I unlocked my jaw from my mouth, nothing came out. The director and the instructor stared at me with open jaws. They weren’t able to take me in because I had lost my voice. I was the quiet 14-year-old, who lost the ability to sing falsetto anymore. My only strength was my baritone voice, but the choir, at the time, did not start a boy choir in their choir yet. I auditioned yet again, but the same result happened; however, this time, they had troubadours for me to start my life in choir: The choir that is called the South Bay Children’s Choir (SBCC)

You walk through the hallway at school being called names, being mocked, and getting laughed at. People hold their arms in positions to mock the way you play your horn. You get called “Band Nerd” or “Geek” or “Loser”, and the scrutiny is sometimes overbearing. But as you reach the end of the hallway, you meet your group of friends that have become like family to you. You’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time in the scorching heat together, and you’ve spent late nights on the bus playing games and falling asleep. You all learn from each other, teach each other, help each other, and become part of something bigger than yourself together. You become family. You are a band member. Do the people who

As the saying goes, “Nothing makes you feel more like being a kid than attending the fair!” There are some sights, tastes, and sounds at the Swift County Fair that remain the same from my childhood. However, it seems that these things that made the fair so special to myself are changing more and more every year. These memories of attending the fair as a child bring a sense of joy and relaxation surrounded by friends and family. Nowadays, the fair goer’s attention seems to be more focused on social media than being present. This is noticeable with the amount of younger kids one may see at the fairgrounds, those fair sounds heard, and the food stands around.

For this assignment, I decided to attend the NW Singers and Chamber Choir performance. The reason why I chose this option over the others is because I’ve always found organized vocal music to be very beautiful. Listening to music that uses only the human voice is striking and has a certain personal feel to it. I also feel that I can relate more to choir music, as I am in the choir at my church. This concert was directed by Ms. Susanne Spencer VanDyke, accompanied by Dr. Saundra Bishop on the piano.

Time to go to the fair!!! My Dad, Sister, Cousin, Best friend, and I had been planning this for a week now, we were going to the 2016 Ohio State Fair in Columbus, Ohio. We go to this fair every year excited to ride the rides!!!

am involved in the Lord’s work with my church to include, but not limited to, singing in the ensemble

I am a part of the Wesleyan Singers at North Carolina Wesleyan College. Our group performs Christian culture music and it was my first time I ever sang for church. I had a wonderful privilege to learn about Christian culture after I became a part of this group. This small group consists of fifteen people and I am one of the two tenors. Every year we have been doing lots of performance inside college but singing in a church, in front of large number of spiritual people was my first time. we performed at Wilson, North Carolina. It was at the Wesleyan Singers Director’s church named First United Methodist Church. There were lots of people but none of them were teenagers, we could only see old spiritual people and a very few children. This was my first time ever being inside a church and being a part of the choir that was going to perform felt like a great privilege.

On March 4th I went back home for the beginning of spring break to visit my high school, Smyrna High School. That weekend was I Love Smyrna School District Day where multiple events of all categories took place. I went there to see the performance of the music ensembles, but in particular to see my previous choir and how they were progressing. The choir was under its second year of instruction from one of the states most renowned instructors and the evolution of the choirs sound made that evident. Back when I was a senior the guys were vastly outnumbered so the female voice parts had to reduce their sound in order to create balance, but that wasn't enough since we only had roughly 5 tenors in an 80 person choir. This year was different though

Spring sophomore year: dedicating endless hours on voice lessons and skipping lunches, I practice for the audition. Acceptance into a select choral group means that you made it; you secure the corner and will succeed, or so I
