Marching band directors are masterful musicians who are well trained in music theory, history, musicianship, and artistry. Being an accomplished musician isn’t enough. It is also good to be an excellent teacher. To be effective you must balance musical artistry. Being proficient is great. A thoughtful attention to artistry, quality of music, and movement is a good thing to have. A creative show design is needed. Once a marching band season is over, high school band directors should be prepared to

In the blog “We Need to Fight this Trend: Marching Bands Taking Steps to Survive,” Karina Bland speaks of Gary Anderson’s pursuit to build up bands and highlights the importance of such a program. Both musical enthusiasts wish to keep band functioning for students, stating that “music may be the only thing that keeps them in school.” They are supportive of activities students find interest

my every move, and it was nerve-racking. Last summer, they watched me through the hardest time of my entire life. I was given the position in April, but until August, it was essentially just a title. Four months of virtually nothing staring at a musical score, just before I am expected to dive headfirst into leading a marching band. It was completely absurd, yet somehow, I managed. It was hard work, and for that first month, I was faced with failure more often than success, but my confidence grew

Although many music librarians come to the position via performing, my career included several additional layers of being at the right place at the right time. Despite years of violin and viola lessons, I wasn’t dedicated enough to play professionally, and I knew enough about myself not to go into teaching; since I assumed those were the only two jobs in music, I went to college intending to become a radio producer.

Albert Schweitzer once said, “There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.” While cats are really great, music can be a safe haven for many people; I myself feel most at home when surrounded by music. The best place for me to have this safety, security and acceptance is in the high school band room. For most, it is just a room filled with instruments and kids who don’t want to go to gym; but the memories and friends made there are what make that room so special. The

There are many opportunities through one’s life where it is possible to gain education. Some may find these opportunities through books, movies, friends, or even just from daily activity. Although I have learned a great deal of information from these themes, I have noticed that I have surprisingly gained a lot of education from my band class provided at my high school. Not only have I learned the importance of music, but I have gained many educational values. Throughout my life, one place I have

comprehend how good of a player I am, especially because I have performance anxiety which hinders me during auditions and most performances. I constantly compare myself to this amazing player who auditions well, who is regularly being recognized for musical achievements, and who can never quite understand the concept of humility.
