Honor Band Research Paper

Although extracurricular activities are required for colleges, GPA also plays an important role. Once students begin college, there is a need to maintain good grades and most students choose to go to work to earn money. Sports can become a distraction to students. Being on the honor roll while playing a sport at the same time will prove that you can be committed to two things at once. To play in games, athletes should have to be on the honor roll.

When I was an eighth grader in middle school, I joined IUSD Middle School Honor Orchestra. I played the viola in this orchestra and I was eighth chair violist out of sixteen violists. Many of my friends joined this orchestra and we had a lot of fun. I played different pieces of music with everyone in the orchestra and I learned many new things. Playing music pieces with different people that play different instruments have taught me a lot, and I learned that it is always important to work as a team. Joining this orchestra has given me the better understanding of music and teamwork. After the concert of this orchestra, we had a field trip to California Adventure and I performed there with the group of the first time.This is one of the best experience

I am very happy and honored to be a part of the students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. Since the beginning of my freshman year, I have been attempting to fulfill the requirements in order to join because I believe that this organization does great things for society, and that its role in our society today corresponds well with my personality and beliefs. Through the National Honor Society, I believe I can make the most of my efforts to help others by developing the skills I already have and also explore new ones so that I can help better our society. In my academic career, I believe I have shown great levels of academic achievement, leadership, character and service that would qualify to join.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is an organization for those students who demonstrate an enthusiasm for scholarship by maintaining academic excellence. In addition, the students must demonstrate the qualities of service, leadership, and character. The criteria for members are as follows: 1. Membership in the National Honor Society is open to eligible 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. 2. Members will be selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. A Faculty Council will review all prospective members. 3. Members must be active in at least one (1) school sponsored activity. 4. National Honor Society members or inductees will be expected to demonstrate that they are active in at least one school

The end of junior year in high school I ran for band president against 6 other people; I ended up winning. I was the 2016 band president for Midwest city high school, I was very nervous for this new adventure. It was time for summer band, the first day of summer band was for freshman and band parents, I had to speak in front of 200 people. The next day was full band, it was time to start summer band officially. Practicing in the heat is the worst part of being in marching band, its long and hot and people always get sunburnt. Through the long hot days and playing good music and making new memories is the best part of marching band. My senior year I became a very good musician, I spent more time in the practice room and preceded my speaking

The eighth grade band works on and does a ton of cool stuff. More so than you did in the seventh grade band. The band teacher at the middle school is Dr. Smith and just this year he got a student teacher. The eighth grade band is split into two bands, 1st hour and second hour. Each band does their own stuff for most of the year except for the beginning. At the beginning of the year you work on marching. You learn things such as how to walk properly and what to do when called to a tension. All though you do work on this type of stuff in the Washburn Rural High School band, it is different and tougher at the high school. You spend two to three weeks learning how to walk and getting called to a tension and other stuff like that. The rest of the time you work on playing your music, such as the fight song and Star Spangled Banner. The band only marches at one game a year and that is the first high school football game.

You can tell a lot about a school by their marching band. At the beginning of my freshman year, I had the privilege of attending a Wisconsin Badger game at Camp Randall and it was an awesome experience. I have long forgotten the logistics of the game itself, but I still remember the marching band. With their high knees perfectly in step, their tight spins perfectly in time, and their shining silver instruments perfectly in position, the excitement they brought to the crowd was undeniable. I easily envisioned myself playing “On Wisconsin” on the field, hyping up fans with my music. After I learned flutes were not a part of Madison’s traditional style marching band, I decided to pick up playing the trumpet because I knew that one day, if I ever

Marching band was one of the most difficult/challenging activity systems that I have ever done in my life. But at the same time it was an inspirational and motivating aspect of my life. The very first thing it taught me was the definition of hard work. This was because I spent hundreds of hours to my dedication and devotion to band marching around the field in the hot sun every day. Even though there were times when I wanted to quit; one such instance was when we were out performed by another school, other times it was becuase of the teacher being a little too hard on me when I first started. Despite setbacks such as these, I had an ardent attraction to marching band, mainly because in middle school I was a part of concert band, which made me love music. The biggest, reason why I chose to do marching band, aside from my enjoyment of music, was because towards the end of my eighth grade year my middle school band director told us about a huge opportunity that we had coming up to become a part of the high school across the street marching band. They were called the Titan Regiment. She told us the difference between concert and

One of the reasons I am going for Drum Major this year is because of the growth that I have seen from the current DM’s throughout their high school careers. I met Emma, Madeline, and Tabby as a freshman and seeing how much they would mature to become strong, independent leaders is something I never initially expected. The personal growth that one gains from leadership is one of the reasons why I believe everyone should experience a leader position at least once in their lifetime. From my year as Drill Instructor, I was able to learn quite an impressive amount, however I believe that I still have quite a ways to go before I am satisfied with my skills as a leader. One of my aspirations is to become a Doctor and have the opportunity to help those

I don’t know how many notes I repeated. I don’t know how many hours I practiced. I can’t quantify how much I stressed. All I know is that it did not feel worth it.

It was a misty day on the way to contest. What seemed like an average day for the Davis Marching band would turn into a spoopy tragedy. Almost all quiet, upon the band bus that early morning. Not an instrument was tuning, not even Issac was listening to music. (As he usually was) Meanwhile, those in the back laughed and chatted all the way to the Marching contest at ECU, while others kept to themselves with music or low conversations. Then all of a sudden on their ride, the bus was filled with screams of the name “MATT!” in the of a Broken Bow bus; which had the memorable Matt inside. Though all the other Broken Bowians were in confusion, Matt was in utter joy while smiling at Ben.

In general, there are many attributes that I believe would make me a strong candidate for the Trinity University Honor Council; however, it would take me a long while to explain all these attributes. Instead, I will talk about the main attributes that make me strong candidate for the Honor Council.

I started playing the marching baritone my freshman year of high school and it has been the symbol for a lot of the change that has happened since. I’d played the trombone all through middle school and switching to the baritone meant I almost had to relearn a new instrument. It was heavy, awkward, and I was the only girl who played it, so I almost felt like I wanted to prove myself in a way. But along with the baritone came the whole concept of the marching band and all of the commitments that came with it. Everyone was so outgoing and social that it almost became stressful for me. I was known for my shyness and always being quiet around people, so an environment like that was not exactly my preferred place to be. But, I soon found that it

When I joined marching band in my freshman year of high school, I felt nervous and reluctant about joining because I questioned my abilities. However, I decided to commit myself to it so that I would know if it was something meant for me to pursue in the future. On the first day, I was overwhelmed with the many people who I did not recognize, and I started to feel as if I should never have come. Things began to change for me when I met an upperclassman named Sophie, who was my flute section leader. She was kind to everyone and did not get upset if anyone made a mistake in the music or marching technique, but rather, she gave constructive criticism. Sophie was an amazing leader and musician, and she was, and still is, a role model to me. Without
