Chino Hills High School Music Festival

In a world of political discourse with racism and hate running rampant, a few great men and women came together to bring unity and harmony like never before: in the form of massive music festivals. In the late 1972, the black community came together for a concert known as Watts Summer Festival. In 1969, the largest music festival of its time was held, and was known as Woodstock. Later that year, the Rolling Stones put together a massive free concert in San Francisco known as the Altamont Concert. All of the concerts and music festivals were not aimed at making money or becoming famous, but about the unity of people through the art of music.

John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld, and Mike Lang were the minds behind the creation of these “Three Days of Peace and Music”, the oldest of which was only 27. This festival, and all the music played during this time, was extremely influential. Americans at this time needed a weekend of peace, for tension was high. At this time Nixon was threatening to bomb North Vietnam, over 35,000 U.S. military personnel have died in the line of duty, and communism was terrifyingly close to America. Friends and family were overseas, and this music festival was a way to spread the idea of peace and love through a medium that was understood by all: music. This festival would not have occurred if it was not for the high tensions and influence of countureculture through popular music at the time.

The Chino Hills High School band and Colorguard performed at Disneyland in their own parade. On the route, they marched down none other than Main Street, U.S.A., a staple to anyone visiting Disneyland. Before the parade, the members got to enjoy the many attractions that the park has to offer. The band seemed to please their audience, judging from the claps and cheers received along the way. After the parade members were treated to earned time allotted to ride attractions and whatever else they might desire, whether it was eating, watching a show, or riding one of the many rides at the park. It was a great day for the hard working band, as they got to do what they do best, play great music and then were able to relax and enjoy themselves. Disneyland

Have you seen those weird music festival T-shirts that people wear and wonder what someone could possibly want to wear that for? While they’re sometimes meant to catch attention of people so they may want to look up the festival, it also serves as a reminder for many amazing memories for the two or three-day event. For a long time now music has changed people’s lives in many ways. It has brought people to fame and lifted many out of depressions. But, to those who haven’t experienced a festival, or even live music in general, you have been missing out an amazing social experience like no other. From the kings of festivals like Woodstock or Coachella to the lesser known ones like Rock on the Range (Hard rock/metal based) and Day for Night (variety) there are hundreds to pick from. One of my favorites is Carolina Rebellion which takes place right in this state.

Emmy Award and Latin Grammy Award-winners Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band will kick off the Firehouse Art Center’s Youth Music Festival with two spirited performances. Their kid-friendly indie pop beats and broad appeal have earned them critical acclaim and appearances on CNN, Univision, PBS and Sprout TV. Coca-Cola featured the song “Falling” in its 2013 summer advertising campaign. Grab the whole family and see for yourselves why they’re one of the most popular acts in kids

The festival which already receives funding from major companies, can seek out new music focused company sponsorship's that will provide aid for the costs of the concerts. The last opportunity for the festival includes the role it can provide in educating the local youth about local cultural music, theater, and arts. Many may grow up to have a strong appreciation towards their own communities’ festival.

This quote shows how impactful and culturally significant this event was and how the determination to create this event paid off as everyone came together to celebrate music and

To my surprise, we won first place at that festival. Not only the audience, but the judges gave us a standing ovation. The best part for me was when one of the legends, Wynton Marsalis, announced to the whole auditorium that he had cried after hearing us performed, and that the festival would never be the same again. After receiving our scoring sheets from the five judges, we read the comments. Every score box out of 160 was blank, and the only word on one of the sheets between the five judges was wow, the highest honor a group could hope

We provide music with a DJ. There are fuse ball and corn hole. It is a fun and safe place for students to go. Specifically, I assisted in creating the decorations for the event. It takes a lot of people and a lot of decorations to transform a school to make it look like a specific thing.

We’ve all heard of the festival being a scene with women flashing for beads and I totally expected the streets (especially Bourbon Street) to be filled with half-naked drunk people. What I found instead, were elaborately dressed festival-goers of all ages celebrating, laughing and expressing themselves through music, art, and dance. While many costumes and signs were humorous and outrageous, I never once felt anything other than love and positivity around

What do you usually think of when you think of music festivals? I think of big stages, my favorite artists, and just having a good time. There is a study that states that the engagement put into music festivals can help you engage in important things in real life such as college. Engagement is one positive key in psychology. Martin Seligman, the creator of Positive Psychology, suggests five quantifiable measures to reflect this construct, which is PERMA: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Positive Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment (Seligman, 2011). Improving measures like Engagement is key to improve your well-being. Engagement can be a predictor of various health outcomes, both physical and

The music played throughout all of the concerts adhered to be diverse. The instruments, the individuals performing, and the conductor all proved to be outstanding. The concerts proved to be interesting as I witnessed them, first hand.

Initial Preview: Throughout this speech you will learn about the birth and development of the modern music festival, how they have transformed, and why they have.
