Stay Garage Case Study

Have you ever made a hard decision? That’s what Mel has to do. He has to decide between has friends band garage or a career in a jazz band. While Mel may enjoy the time and band with his friends but he should do the Jazz band. Mel should do the Jazz band because we should always do what we can to get better at what we love. Even if that means we lose something else.

When declaring what instrument is the most important in band, the usual consensus is that all instruments are equally important as each instrument have their specific, unique role; however, the trumpet section stereotypically declares themselves the most important through loud, crack-filled playing. Whether in a jazz band, marching band, or symphonic band, trumpets stereotypically are the section filled with rude, egotistical musicians who do not get along with other type of musicians. While it is true that with stereotype begins with truth, there are many misconceptions with these stereotypes that can be addressed. Likewise, it is unfair and ignorant to generalize a specific group based off of a single encounter. It is extremely possible there exists a trumpet player

When the question is brought up, “What does band mean to you?” I immediately think of the responsibility, hard work, and dedication and band has given me the chance to learn and strengthen. In addition to these life skills are many others, such as leadership, teamwork, and friendship. The Force has made more than just a difference in my high school career, it has impacted my life and has provided me with skills that will follow me throughout my life. Band means to supporting each other as we work through the hard times and grow closer as a family. Band means working hard and taking on responsibility for yourself. It also means being dependable, that people can count on you and your ability to achieve the unthinkable.

In conclusion, everyone in a band must have these qualities in order to make the band operate successfully and sound great. Having determination can take one far as an instrument player-- but as a band with great teamwork, it can take one even further. The same applies to being an oarsman and being a part of a successful crew, such as the crew in the book. I hope you will consider taking up and reading The Boys in the Boat for this year’s band class. I would enjoy talking to you and your students about this

However, a band is the more expensive option. Finding a good band that plays the type of music you want takes more

Initially, I had a negative view on group working because of the challenges that I had. When I was in high school, my five other friends and I used to work together in a music competition. Although we were supposed to get together to practice

Yes, Mel should join the city band. His friends should be happy for him, and maybe if his friends keep practicing then they could get better and join the band with him. Mel is looking into his future to become a music star, and his friends shouldn't be selfish and should be happy for him. The City band would be a great experience for Mel.

Not only this, as competition marching bands are performing, the members are required to keep their shoulders perfectly parallel with the press box sideline, no matter what direction they may be traveling. On top of all the physical attributes, performers also have to have all music memorized to perfection. Part of playing music is to count—mentally count in time and tempo. To make the activity of marching band more difficult, members also have to be able to play while moving to at fast speeds to exact locations on the field to create new forms. To, as they say “put a cherry on top,” all of this has to be done at the same time. For all members of a competition band, they have to multitask throughout the entire performance with no mental or physical breaks. Mr. Spettel, Marion Local Schools band director, compares marching band and sports as “Physically and mentally it shares all the same aspects because the mental aspects of memorizing music, playing expressively, and using dynamic contrast. All of that is just like football or volleyball: remembering plays, strategizing to get the best possible outcome. And I think one could argue that marching band is just as physically demanding as a lot of other athletics.” All of these items lead to having a strong mental presence as members are

Our marching band is not one many knows of because of our size. We were only 25 people marching together, one of the smallest in our district. Smaller bands go first in competitions so not many people ever see our performance, but that does not stop us from performing to our fullest. However, at assessment, I was surprised, as we marched around the track and got on the field I saw a crowd for once. A crowd was going to see our show!

Once that musician is buried in its own part, they could play louder than they should and play off tempo. This not only disrupts the band, but can create tension and distortion in a song. For example, during one of the songs from last year’s performance, a cymbal crash occurred at the wrong time. This created a chain effect of musicians coming in at the wrong time because they are not paying attention to the band director and the rest of the band. However, once that is fixed, the song can captivate the listener and have a similar emotional effect like jazz band.

I have been given the opportunity to participate in the only coed acapella group at my college. I am very grateful for all of the opportunities I get in my life, and having this chance to further pursue the joy of music has been great for me. Additionally, I have learned much about leadership and working with college administration through this group. This group is entirely student lead, so we rely on personal effort and initiative of our members to function. Most of the fourteen members have a specific administrative function to carry out in addition to continuous effort musically. I am the beatboxer of the group, so my participation involves maintaining the group at a constant tempo and manipulating the feeling of the song through the choice

by playing it for them, and would take a more active role in directing the band.

This Jazz approach works to team-building because even if Jazz is performed by a group of people who have different personality, style, mood and temperament, the Jazz musicians work perfectly with each other. For example, people who work together may have different backgrounds and skills in an organization to pursue a goal. Similarly, Jazz musicians who play different instruments may work together to produce a master piece of music. To achieve this goal, musicians need to communicate with each other as well as listen to each other because they need to manage change and play the proper tone and beat on the music. Most importantly, Jazz music needs creativity and collaboration. Also, musicians

To conclude band members can have better attitudes by working together, having a common goal, and playing for god. Their common goal will answer the question of why they come to practice. Working together will show them that they are all here for each other. Playing for god will allow band members to play to glorify the lord in all they do, In doing all of these things they will grow As a group they will sound better, but as a family, they will become closer not only with each other but with god. They will grow so much by allowing each other to have a good attitude and uplift each

Previously in the year, it was typical for me just write what is on my mind at the time and later go back and organize it. This paper is a stupendous presentation of that obsolete format. It was common for me to leap from one paragraph to another without soundly blending my ideas into the narrative. Despite this, however, many outstanding developments appeared in this essay. This was the essay that helped me further develop my ability to write sensory details, which immediately shows itself in the introduction: “Lights blare down from above. To my left, I can see the crowd cheering as the previous band charges off the field, and we prepare our grand entrance” ( 1). I also highlighted the negative aspects of the band, such as leadership problems: “Aside from inexperienced and uncaring managers, some people are just wholly opposed to taking orders from their peers. This causes an avalanche of tension between them and their section. Arguments will typically break out as to who is right and who is wrong-- especially during marching season ( 3).” Each paragraph, despite flowing strangely, outlined a specific aspect of the band in increasingly detailed methods. One section describes the methods band members use to communicate with one another while another tells of its hierarchy. Overall, this paper, despite its shortcomings, laid the base for which I would later improve upon in following essays.
