Singing In The Rain Research Paper

The concert that I attended was a high school concert on March the third 2016 performed by Winfield’s High School Bands under the Direction of Steven James and John Steinbruegge. It took play in the gym and there were two bands that performed which included their concert/symphonic band and jazz band group. Both groups played an array of pieces from different genres and composer which both provided the audience with different feelings and emotions.

Yet another accomplishment has been achieved at Chino Hills High School that only adds to the prosperity and Husky spirit of this illustrious and triumphant school. This year, Color Guard participated in and won a variety of championships including the WGI Circuit-Western Open Class Championships, West Coast Winter Circuit-Open Class Championships with a first place medal, the WGASC Circuit with a silver medal, and the WGI Open World Class Championships in Dayton, Ohio which they took 16th place in out of the world. When interviewing Kaitlyn Parsons (Captain), Mallory Williams, Ashley Kearns, Hunter Adams, and Nina Penzo (Captain) about this prodigious attainment, they each stated that it has been an unforgettable journey that has been both an individual and a team effort. Members of Color guard are split into two teams,

Good morning choir members, I pray all is well with each of you. As each of you know, Sister Kimberly Edwards decided it was best to step down as President of the Liberty Hill Choir. The church administrators set standards in which the next president must already achieve or have before he/she could become president of the choir. Some of those standards include:

Not many people are familiar with marching band because the sport only lasts for a fall semester. Because the season is short, marching band does not have many competitions. A typical marching season has only one or two competitions. However, even though there are few competitions, each group practices for weeks on end. Each band strives to meet that one goal, which is to do well in a certain competition. When a marching band performs their absolute

As the holidays approach, joy is in the air, and many celebratory events are occurring throughout Denver, offering joy and cheer to Denver citizens. For Denver Citywide Marching Band (DCMB), the holidays have also provided an opportunity for its members to display their talents, among which were TJ’s seniors Cassidy Cobb, Jabril Jeylani, Khem Shem Toure’, and freshman Julia Moir. TJ’s talented Spartans showed off their skills on December 4th and 5th in Downtown Denver, and greatly contributed to the merry atmosphere.

They showed great dynamics and balance. I felt that the dancer’s (The Golden Stars) piece was short and rushed. Their piece and routine didn’t even last a full minute (5:16-6:07). Now; I’m not of fan of vocals being featured in Marching Band performances unless it is done correctly. In order for performances like these to sound good, the band needs to have enough balance, dynamics, and technique while still giving just enough volume where you can still hear the vocalist. I will give Miles credit; they sounded fabulous, music wise. The technique was there, the dynamics were there (instrument wise), and the balance was there. The ballad “Stand” by Donnie McClurkin sounded amazing. However, I felt that there were times you couldn’t really hear the vocalist as he sung, but it did get a little better towards the end. I also appreciated the nice woodwind parts towards the end of the ballad. Miles College Purple Marching Machine did a really good job and was one of the most consistent bands on the

The Marching Band program of the Greece Central School District (GCSD) provides every child with the opportunity to perform and compete in a unique way. Through the acquisition of specific knowledge, skills and the development of appropriate disciplines, these experiences

Left, right, left, right... Those two words rung in my head while I marched until the thunderous voice of my drum major was heard. HALT, I was brought back to my senses. The banging of the bass drums, the turf under my tattered marching shoes, sweat rolling down from my shako. I was here, at assessment, the vibrant sound of clapping from the bleachers and the sight of judges ready to mark how we perform. “Pride of Potomac marching band, you may now take the field.” That is our cue, time to deliver our show, The Heist. Finally, after three months of sweat, tears, and blood, literally, I will earn my superior rating. I mean, what could go wrong right? Or at least that is what I thought until I heard the sound that will haunt me for the rest of the day, thud.

Billy Montana and Helen Darling’s lyric, “Bring On the Rain”, is an empowering piece told by the author, to those who are experiencing hardship. This lyric tells us, that no matter how hard it gets, we can get through the toughest times if we have strength and if we are ready for everything the next day has to bring. The main effect of this poem is created through symbolism and the repetition of the line “Bring On the Rain”. Although the mood of this song is sad, it is also hopeful and encouraging. Through powerful words, this lyric leaves us with the overall impression that you are strong, so do not let the tough days beat you, just face them and you can overcome anything. The lines, “Cause tomorrow’s another day/ And I’m thirsty anyway/ So

Sophomore year of marching came. This year was a surprise for everyone. With our show being named ‘Masterminder.’ The band members marching were under control by the color guard soloist; the puppeteer. This show was pretty exciting, too. The judges also thought that. We made it past regionals AND semi-state. What? Yeah, we all thought the same thing. We had made it. We had FINALLY made it after so many years of just trying to get past regionals for once. It was a bitter-sweet feeling waiting for placement awards at Lucas Oil Stadium. The instructors went around to each band student one by one. The congratulated us on an amazing season. I started tearing up, but that isn’t surprising. As we marched our way out of Lucas Oil Stadium that night, I knew that this was only the beginning of a new generation for the Marching Marksmen.

The relationship between ideal and real culture shows how simple things that may be taken for granted are not what they seem to be with regards to “Song Cry”. Ideal culture is basically a collection of norms, values, and patterns of behaviors that the members of a society believe should be observed as routine activity. Whereas with real culture, there are the norms, values, and patterns of behavior that actually exist within a society that may or may not actually correspond to what society deems to be essential ideals. The differences between ideal and real culture are presented in everyday life as what may be thought of a normal, isn’t necessarily what’s practiced. For example, the practice of recycling is recited to us constantly as being

I spent the begining of Friday finishing up my rain drum by putting in "channels" and the top on the box. The purpose of the channels is to make it harder for the smaller pieces to get through causing there to be a variations in the sounds. The channels look like little mountains for the smaller pieces and a square with a hole in the middle for the larger pieces. After finishing up the ocean drum I began brainstorming with Adam again and we decided that I should continue with percussion instruments. I decided on a variety of shakers that are transparents and have different lengths. I put nuts, bolts and tacks into the different shakers so they all had different sounds, and taped the ends. At the end of the day I began working on a

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul”. - Anonymous. Music can be a big part of people's everyday life to calm down, to have fun, but do they really know the progress it takes to make those songs, to sing them? There is a progress leading up to making the perfect song. Like the voice pitch, the warm-ups so the voice isn't scratchy, but is warmed up and ready for singing, and the type of genre that the artist is singing.
