Personal Narrative: My 8th School Band Trip To Chicago

Most schools offer a variety of activities, classes, and clubs. I personally was never interested in school or anything to do with it. Then I came across band and was instantly hooked. Band has concerts, marching band, and you get to meet new people. Band is my favorite class and here are some reasons why.

My trip to St.Louis will always be my favorite.Everything I got to see was magnificent.Breathtaking views,and amazingly nice people to greet with.Everyone was nice in St.Louis, which was surprising. I wish I could go back and relive my trip.The St.Louis arch was so tall i couldn't look up because of the sun.We played a bunch of games outside the arch.MY trip to St. Louis will be

When I went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee I was with my parents, grandparents, my brother, and my cousin Savannah. I got to go to all the little shops, Dig through rocks, and I remember honking through this tunnel we drove in. I guess it was tradition. I remember going to a mini amusement park where we rode go carts. I also remember going to the Titanic museum. I remember touching the ice wall and seeing all the sunken objects. I also remember seeing the grand staircase. I remember it feeling super heavy and emotional

Just this past summer I had one of the best weeks of my life not realizing how precious the experiences I had were. I had been on a canoe trek with my boy scout troop from here in Tenafly. The week was very fun. We canoed every day, saw beautiful things, met lots of new people, and did some of the best activities many of us had ever done. During this week I had learned lots of leadership skills being a co-leader and became closer with some of the people in the troop. I didn’t know

As with most kids, I was a bit nervous about my transition from middle school to high school. One advantage I had was that I participated in band in middle school and planned to be in the band in high school. The Round Rock High School band has a history of excellence and I was looking forward to being a part of that organization. This was an extraordinary time and I looked forward to being a part of the band with great anticipation. Being a part of an organization such as this makes the transition to high school seem much easier and it seemed I had a ready-made group of friends that I could rely on and ask questions of if necessary. After all, the Round Rock High School Band has over 300 members.

We also had the chance to do some shopping before leaving and to me, that was the highlight of my trip. The Nashville mall was so big it man little Augusta, Ga mall look like a broom closet. In the mall I stopped at a shoe store, where I bought some sandals I had been wanting for the longest but could never find in the mall at home. The trip was very rewarding to me because I got a chance to spend quality time with a part of my family that I only get the chance to see during the Holidays. The trip brought a lifetime of memories that I will never forget. We ended our trip with a birthday celebration for my two nieces whose birthdays were a few days apart. The colorful pink party for the girls included; crown shaped cake, ice-cream, and lots of smiles from the two birthday girls. Furthermore, the three-day trip was over and it was back to the hotel to pack for the drive home. The drive home needless to say was not very exciting. I would have loved to stay in Nashville visiting my aunt for a few more days I was happy to be home. My family does not get together that often, we are a happy family but we also have our differences like any other

We walked around in groups of three, we played brain games and even ran in a hampster wheel. At the bean we took pictures at the reflective part like it was a mirror. We also toured Chicago, we got to view Sears Tower, also we got to see street artwork such as blue fire tigers and aliens. Going into rainforest cafe was the most fun part of that day. They had robot gorillas standing on rocks behind the table we were at. The moment that made Rainforest so fun was the guy walking around making balloon objects, he made me the coolest balloon jet pack

There are lots of different kinds of people in the world. Some are willing to head off on their own to improve their talents and skills, and others are too worried about how their friends will treat them if they decide to leave and go in their own direction. Mel is in that same type of situation. He is in a band with his friends, but doesn’t know if he should leave his friends’ band and join the jazz band, or if he will stay behind with in the garage band. If you were in Mel’s situation, what do you think he should do?

When I was in 7th grade, the whole entire grade suggested that we should go on a camping trip. We had many places to choose from, but we all agreed on going to Yosemite. The reason we chose Yosemite is because we wanted people to stay away from their video games and electronics for a couple of days and actually enjoy what beautiful things God had made and what the outside world has to offer. It was an amazing trip and we did have many unforgettable memories. But one memory I had was on the second day of the trip, it was the day we started to do activities with our group leader. We hiked up a waterfall, played some games, and also took lots of pictures. It was a very tiring day and when we were finally done for the day, It was

The summer of 2013 was both a time of celebration, as I had just graduated middle school, and a time of insecurities, as I started my journey as a member of my high school’s marching band. In middle school, I was normally a shy, quiet person, so it comes as no surprise that I felt uncomfortable at my first marching band practice. In addition, very few of my band friends in middle school had continued into high school marching band, creating a feeling of isolation over me.

I stood on the podium, looking out at the field and took a deep breath. The fans in the stands behind me were a buzz in my ears as I made eye contact with every member of the band. I held my hands up and clapped three times and then SNAP! The instruments were up and I counted off, starting our first marching band show of the season.

To me JSU honor band is like no other thing I have ever seen. The most amazement I have ever had in a true feeling is, seeing that people from other bands from all over the state can come together to make something great. Six of my seven times going there was because of my brother. That was nothing fun as all I could do was sit in a nasty dorm room. Then finally, Saturday rolls around. Saturday you get to hear all the bands and all the work in just three days. My favorite time was me getting to go as a seventh grader.

I was so excited to start going to Heritage Middle School, I was finally starting to grow up. I was going to meet new people and have more classes that I have to manage now all on my own. Now I am becoming one of the big kids I will become responsible for my own work like projects and turning in my work on time.

When we first started going back and forth to chicago it was a lot of fun. It gave us a chance to get out instead of being in decatur all of the time. So basically we went to chicago just about every month. This was so we could try to get my dad his green card. I remember one time one a

Overall, even though these are just little things, it is the type of day, the the places I went in the city, and its sheer beauty that truly made Grant’s Park area in Chicago such an amazing place where I was able to see and experience so many wondrous things. This made that day memorable for me, and it will always have a special place in my
