Personal Experience: Marching Band In High School

In addition, there’s marching band. In my opinion marching band is the funnest part. You march across the football field during games in front of a huge crowd. You also, play the songs from memory. There are dance moves and much more that you get to do. You may be nervous at first but once you’re running on adrenaline it’s so much fun.

I began playing the trumpet in the fifth grade. Back then, I loved playing the trumpet. We had band practice at the end of the school day every Tuesday and Thursday, and I looked forward to those rehearsals every single week. I loved it because in elementary school, the directors didn’t care about my tone quality. They didn’t care about how talented I was. They couldn’t care less whether or not I practiced. I loved it because it just gave me an opportunity to socialize with my friends more.

Outside of school, I am also active in my community. I am involved in many activities. For my church; Spring Baptist Klein Campus; I have been involved as a volunteer at Vacation Bible School for 2 years. I have volunteered for crafts both years because I like to be around children of

Outside of school I was pretty busy too. I was an umpire for teams in our area which I really enjoyed doing. Of course I had church that we faithfully attended pretty much every sunday. I still had my mowing business that had growen a lot since I had it in the 6th grade. Finally, I also had club baseball after my school season, and I did a lot with my friends and there’s always other odd things that came up at any time.. And I still honestly don’t know how I juggled all that during high

I spend a large amount of time helping out, sorting and copying music, and doing other things that are needed. I have dedicated almost all of my time to band this year, whether that be marching band, concert ensembles, Grand View Wind Ensemble, jazz band, or the honor bands I did this year. I changed my outlook on our program and knew it was the program I wanted to be the most involved in throughout high school.

I have many hobbies and I am involved in many extracurricular activities. I play the clarinet and

When I'm not in school I have Since my freshman year I have been doing marching band. As a sophomore I took my position as a upperclassman to help my freshman to the best of my ability. I help the freshman in my section to read drill, marching techniques, and how to play the music. While doing that I also do activities with my Girl Scout troop. I have been in Girl Scouts since the 4th grade and that has been a wonderful learning experience. From learning the ways of sales, to taking educational trips around the state i have grown in skill and character. Also for the last 3 years I have been the 2nd in highest cookie sales so that has been been very beneficial. Then during the summer I volunteer at the Durham Art's Council's Summer Camp as

I have been in a few school activities. One of the main activities that I have been involved in is Color guard. Since my sophomore year, I have been on the guard and participating in all of the competitions with the band. It is a great way to get involved, make new friends, and create new experiences. I am also in my school’s National Honor Society which is an organization that consists of the top academic scholars. We do volunteer work and do activities that display integrity. We have done blood drives as well as packaged food for Kids Against Hunger. That is another organization that people can do to help package food for children across seas that don’t have any source of nourishment. I am an active thespian which is a group of sorts that is dedicated to the fine arts. I have been one since my freshmen year and have been either stage manager or assistant stage manager for two plays and three musicals. My junior year as well as this year I was involved in National

Question #7 Some activities I enjoy doing after school is play video games, take walks with my family, watching shows and movies, and also be with my friends.

Admittedly, I don’t participate in any extra curricular activities outside of school. I’m not very good at sports, (hand-eye coordination? Ha, no) but I am surprisingly good at archery, so when I gather up the energy to drag my target out of storage I spend a lot of time doing that. I lost a lot of arrows in the grass last summer though, if anybody wants to make a donation. I listen to music and learn some dances and stuff, too, but the details are embarrassing so I don’t talk

The only extracurricular activity I am a part of as of now, is Key club. I am an active member and commit approximately 20 hours of community service a semester. In Middle School I was a part of NJHS, Student Congress, and WEB (middle school equivalent to Link Crew). Within the next year, I plan on joining NHS as well as Link Crew.

Outside of school, I'm thoroughly involved in my community. I've already done one hundred and fifty-five hours of community service (and counting). I'm mainly involved with TCLBAF (Tri-Cities Lady Bulldogs Athletic Foundation) Inc., where our mission is to mentor youth in our community. We expose them to sports and

Outside of school, I spend my time doing a multitude of things. I spend my time being the captain on two hockey teams, working part time for my local YMCA, and studying for school.

In my free time when I’m not in school I like to dance, A LOT!!!! It is my favorite sport! (If you count it as a sport) I also like to babysit and dog sit. It is really fun! I like to bake with my mom,

I hope that you are having a wonderful and relaxing summer and enjoying the spectacular warm weather. Also, I extremely appreciate you for taking time out of your summer for my band audition.
