Personal Narrative: A Level Music

Orchestra has always been one of my favorite classes to go to during the day. After choosing to play the cello in middle school, I continued playing the instrument in high school. It was in this class that I had made most of my closest friends, many of whom I still love to this day. I also loved how the rich deep tones that came from playing each note of the cello and how they were able to blend with the rest of the orchestra. I knew from my freshmen year that I wanted to get into the top class, Chamber Orchestra. I thought that I would have done everything in my power to get into the class, however when the time came I could not even bring myself to audition.

We could hear the crowd chatting behind the dark red curtain. We looked at each other with big grins, and I could tell Neill was nervous because he was sweating really bad although, so were Greg and I. A voice came over the sound system and it said “without further ado put your hands together for the The Whippersnappers.” The curtain opened slowly and the place was filled to the brim with people. I felt a feeling so undescribable in the pit of my stomach. It didn't hurt but it did feel weird. Greg introduced the band, surprisingly calm, and we played our first song, Going Down This Road Feeling Bad. We got such a huge applause I thought I could feel the air from the crowds clapping. After playing our whole list we did a bow and walked proudly off the stage. We were so happy about how it went we couldn't stop smiling! We got paid and the place gave us a free pepperoni pizza, which tasted really good. We talked about the next practice and what we should work on. We agreed that Greg's guitar was too loud, and Neill’s bass was too quiet. We fixed those problems really easily. And a couple days later, we had a bar owner in Indianapolis ask us to play there. We were all very happy. We think that this band couldn't work together any better than we already. We are currently still a band and we are all three good

My leadership activities have brought big responsibilities into my life, but also great joy. As the Art Director for North’s Drama program every play brings new opportunities for creativity and new challenges. It is my job to create the poster, design the set, manage supplies, direct the students helping me, and plan ahead so that every piece of the set can be finished in time for the show. I could never do the job alone and it is such an incredible feeling to begin with a few ideas and bring an entire world to life as a team. My experience as the Hi-Tones Representative has been fantastic. I think that the most important piece of my role is to help create a family environment in the group. I also take on extra tasks whenever needed such as

But that soon changed as the director started to single us out. He started out with the ones that he wanted to see if they could play on the harder instruments. Then he went to the people new to the group. He asked all of us to play by ourselves and surprisingly I didn’t mess up at all. I was just as surprised as everyone else that I did that

The people I chose to do my project on Thomas Bergersen & Nick Phoenix, they have come together to create a very unique style of music that I love. They Both together created there own music company they work great together and actually didn't think that they were going to get along at first but, once they meet each other in person they realized they had a lot in common. They both are very passionate about what they do neither one of them has studied a whole lot in music but they have a little bit that they have grown

band be like? I honestly had no idea what to do, my mind was a jumble of

How would you describe the bands overall creative collaboration ? You probably all have your own way of writing and expressing yourselves.

I heard a ton of songs set up together from the accompanying instruments: guitars, drums, piano and trombone. The Brubeck Brothers Quartet began off playing introductory music that was a reflection of the group members before they presented themselves. The accompanying melodies were played: Dance of the Shadows, Cathy's Waltz, Jazzanians, Cool on the coast, Far more blues, In your own sweet way, and Blue Rondo a la Turk. As every melody was played it was much the same as if it was a piece of your body in light of the fact that the music was exceptionally alleviating to the ears and simply made you need to locate your internal peace. The entertainers presented themselves, gave an anecdote about their life, and told what their motivations were

I love to fish it is really fun. It is 1:00. I grab my fishing poles and my fishing bag. I get an my bike and ride down to my pound. Throw some bread on my hook and cast it out there. My brother said to bait the water so I threw some bread in. All the fish were eating the bread. The bobber twitched a couple times. I set the hook the fish is on the hook. I get the fish on land grab the fish get it unhooked. Then I cut its gills and it dies.My brother said eiw thats grose. Then i wash it off in the water.Then i cut the bluegill into three pieces.When i cut the guts The fish eat the bluegill just for the guts so I put a piece of bluegill on the hook and guts and cast it out. My hands smelled like fish they felt all slimey and they

I played the songs “Before” and “We Are The Halluci Nation” after explaining the background of the band and importance of their role in the Aboriginal communities, and proceeded to play the other songs in the background during our discussion to encourage the pace of the conversation at a moderately fast speed to cover the length of the article, and tried to interject small information about the remaining songs as it became relevant to the

By the time we had finished setting up the stage the rest of the band had arrived and with the help of some of the music staff we began to adjust the volume levels. Once the sound check was complete we began rehearsing our performance. Due to the lack of allocated time we were only performing one song, a blues arrangement of Cantaloupe Island by Duke Ellington. After several successful run throughs the basic form of the song, I became increasingly nervous as I waited for our conductor to choose who would be playing a solo.

Many students said they made most of their friends through band. They described how they were most likely friends due to their similar interests. Most of these students played their instrument(s) through high school and some even into college. "I'm not just part of a band, I'm part of a

As a first music, the band played a song which they created on the stage which was really interesting because the members of the band played the music very harmonized and symmetrical way. The most interesting part of this unfamiliar experiment was that each member of the band played extemporaneously notes based on their own preference. After that music, “How Deep is the Ocean” by Irving berlin was played. The following one was the “St. Louis Blues” by the W. C. Handy. The songs were slow and easy-going songs which I really liked to

The group was composed of community members of diverse talents, cultures and backgrounds. It became apparent throughout the discussion that everyone in attendance had some talent to offer. They had a talent to offer and most importantly, they showed up to offer that talent.

I figured that I would talk with you about your songs when you came here, but then once you were here, I didn’t want to mention or discuss them with Ian around, so I felt funny. You did a good job and charlotte’s playing adds a nice touch. I didn’t think it was a good idea to play ray’s lament for grandma chickpea, because it sounds like ray in the neither world. Besides, she would go and tell Vince about it, then all of them would sit around on a computer analyzing your music, pages, and all that stuff.
