This week I visited the Redlands Bowl, down on 25 Grant St. The Redlands Bowl is an amphitheater that is used for both musical and theatrical performances that are free of charge to the public. The Structure as it stands was built in 1931 by Florence and Clarence White as a gift to the City of Redlands. Every summer the Summer Music Festival is put on by the City at no admission cost. The Festival is the oldest continuous music festival in the United States, and the festival lasts from late June through August.

The movie, And the Band Played On, discusses the origin of the AIDS virus and how it spontaneously spread across the world. It used the Ebola disease to foreshadow the forth coming of another serious disease. The world was not prepared to handle such a contagious plague.

The W.C. Handy music festival is an event in which almost the entire northwest side of Alabama celebrates the past heritage of Shoals area music, and also the future of Shoals music for an entire week. Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area (2016) states that the festival involves over 200 events within the range of four counties and attracts about 150,000 people to the shoals area, providing a significant boost for local businesses and artists.

This school year I did something new by trying to do band for the first time. In band I play the trumpet. I have to use a school instrument, because it is really expensive to rent a ammo instrument having to pay each month. My band class is my 4th period, and we stay in there for 55 minutes. I really wished that I did not pick band, because it is really boring and we don’t get a lot of stuff also everybody gets in trouble all the time. In this semester it is kind of fun because we are going to be out of school very soon. What’s the most favorite part about band is We get to play new songs, and that we get to play majors and minors. What’s the most terrible part about band is waiting for people to get ready and pay attention, and also people

On June 25th through the 27th, my family and I went to King’s Island for our vacation. We just took a small vacation this year because next spring we are going to Florida. But this wasn’t the typical amusement park trip. Those three days at King’s Island, Spirit Song Fest was there. Since we bought tickets to Spirit Song Fest, we got free admission to the amusement park and water park. Spirit Song Fest is an annual three day long Christian music festival. We did all the amusement park stuff during the day, and then we made our way to the outdoor amphitheater around 4:00 to browse Christian artist merchandise and find our seats. The concerts were epic. Some of my favorite Contemporary Christian music artists were there, such as Newsboys, Colton Dixon, Kari Jobe, Skillet,
There is also a dog show several times a day, and a band that features trumpets and tubas. Shows vary with every season.
