Pulp Music Concert Report

George Helmholtz, as the head of the music department at Lincoln High School, is very determined with his regular students and the gifted musicians of the band. Each semester and year at school he dreams of “leading as fine a band as there was on

Purpose: The purpose of the following document is to highlight to the Board of Heritage Christian Academy the current state of, the challenges faced by, the vision for, and the future potential of the band program.

On November 17th, 2016, I attended a jazz concert and had quite a time. The experience was captivating, and gave me a warm feeling inside. There were three different bands that play in the hour slot, and all of them sounded magnificent, but “The Santé Fe Jazz Combo” and “Santa Fe Big Band” stood out the most. The only thing these two bands have in common is that some of the musicians play in both bands. Otherwise, these jazz fanatics are polar opposites.

I have always looked to spend more time in music, so even with the challenges of marching band I have been the lead bassist for my school’s top jazz band all four years of my journey. Even with the time I spend in marching, I spend at least four hours a week creating music with my peers. In this I’ve not only been able to prove to myself that I can play, but I’ve also learned how to synergize with my fellow musicians to make something beautiful. I’ve been able to transfer this to my life outside of band through group projects and community service projects.

On April 11th, 2017 in the Louis Armstrong Theatre, I attended the GVSU “University Band”. This up-beat ensemble lasted about 90 minutes; the talented students of GVSU’s university band joined together to perform multiple different songs ranging from a Waltz to a Dixieland Jamboree. All of the songs that the band played for the audience were all well-known, popular songs that they all enjoyed. Having the opportunity to attend this concert has opened new musical paths for myself and has allowed me to enjoy and kindly critique something that I perhaps would have never had the chance to otherwise.

This would be a movement that would liberate our young people from the negative vibes that continue to obliterate the music industry. More power to this young recording artist, who has the mentality to be an exemplified leader to bring back morality and decency to our music to rescue the youth. This fearless, gifted southern boy yet believes he can succeed in changing the direction of music to a positive and more profound one that will set free a generation.

On October 7th, I got a chance to observe Chris Watson’s middle school ensemble. This ensemble was made up of five percussion players and a trumpet player. This was his first year with this school. The year previous that class was basically a percussion class. He was telling me that he had to change a lot in this first year. It was great opportunity to observe this school because it was an experience I will not forget.

Music has always been a thing that has interested me. The idea of people putting their talents together to create something has always amazed me. Being in a discourse community like music is always going to be difficult starting out. Working with others was never my strong suit, and all of the preparation and studying stressed me out. It sucks to try very hard and have it all result in nothing. It is the idea of perfection that everyone strives for. In my case, it is a group effort of the people involved in my discourse community to achieve our shared goal. We strive to please ourselves and others listening by giving a solid performance. My music class is a discourse community that shares a passion of music and a similar goal. We assist

It’s not just that we are easy-going laid-back Californians, though we are. It’s that we have had a leader in Ernest Fleishman who treated us like family – the LA Phil family. Together we developed a problem-solving style that was not “us against them”. That when we face issues and problems we work them out together, that we are on the same team because we have the same goals. We want the same result – that the LA Phil has to be the best and most successful orchestra in the country. Deborah, this is your chance to learn from your mistakes, to do things differently than you did before, to have a great relationship with musicians, to do it

By showcasing traditionally underrepresented voices and placing important social justice issues in a musical context, the project will educate, encourage dialogue, and improve the campus climate for

Your interest and energy towards making music represents an investment in time, and my goal is to make sure that your time is well spent. Each and every rehearsal and performance should be taken with a proactive mindset in moving forward towards creating music and improving as a unit. My goal is to maintain our group as a well-organized and enjoyable organization with a purpose of performing for the community in the modern 21st century.

The nomination committee being the main organ through which the music the board is selected has various mechanisms in place in relation to the identification, selection and engagement of the qualified individuals sharing the organization interests. It is of the greatest expectation from the various stakeholders of this project that this group will stand to ensure that the mission and vision upon which this program was developed defines its very existence and operation towards the realization of the defined objectives.

On Sunday, May10 2015, a concert was held in The Broad Stage. The concert was played by Santa Monica College Symphony Orchestra, whose conductor is Dr. James Martin. For this concert, I would identify myself as a referential listener at this concert. I say this because I am not an expert in music, therefore it would be hard for me to be a critical listener. I wouldn’t be able to tell what went wrong with a performance even if some incorrect notes were played. I was more of a referential listener because the music was soothing and brought my mind to peaceful thoughts. This essay will tells my experience of the concert in order to persuade my friend to  attend a classical music concert with you in the future.

As Doug and I walked into the room, the old familiar smell of “band” crept around me. A smell best described as a mix of dirty carpet and metal; the majority of my free time in middle/ high school was spent within the realm. Now 18, and out of high school, I set out to help Doug with his band’s halftime show, due to his shortage of staff, a task which seemed very easy at the time. Following the first day, however, I abruptly found out how difficult the task was and the degree of perseverance needed to be a successful tech.

Some other insightful ideas presented in the workshop include the flower petal theory and the idea of creating an alliance with other bands who are starting out and who you share the stage with each show. The flower petal theory explains that once you find a city that is working for your band, find a nearby city with growing interest in your band and establish your presence there. Once that location is established, branch out again and repeat the process. Eventually you will have multiple petals of cities that connect and that you can keep coming back to and finding success creating a flower-like shape on a map. As your band becomes bigger and more successful, the flower will grow, spreading out over a larger portion of the map. I find this theory to be both efficient and sensitive to your budget because you are somewhat restrained to a certain portion on the map and you will not waste resources and money traveling to a place that won’t work out, and you will consistently bring in a following each night at your shows. While the idea of creating an alliance with other bands you share the stage with might seem like common sense, the outcome it can have on your band often gets undervalued and underappreciated. If you do something as simple as exchange thoughts or comment with each other on social media, each band’s following is networking with one another and you soon form a bond with the other band’s fans, which will in turn expand your fan base without much work being
