Starting at the end of this year two obstacles will be placed upon the Heritage Band. The opening of the new Frisco ISD campus, Memorial High School, and the large number of seniors graduating; this will impact us greatly due to the drastic portion of our band leaving us next marching season. This not only means the band will be smaller but the atmosphere will be different. The current HHS culture is very welcoming and friendly. These values filled up a part of me that felt absent as well as alleviating my fear of emerging as a first year student having to worry about losing classmates. While also knowing that I will be meeting people from other walks of life. Not only has the Heritage band taught me the values of family and unity, it also taught me to be accountable for my actions.This …show more content…
I am an adequate candidate because of this reason. Starting freshman year, I’ve aspired to give back the help and effort put towards me during the 2016-2017 marching season. The clarinet section leaders, Jennifer Carballo, Rachel Chilton, and Cody Chang, spent a lot of time working with me before, after, and in between practices in order to get me up to par with the rest of the band. The drive and motivation that I have been conjuring up for 2 years will push me to transform my passion into a lasting impression in the Heritage Band and giving back the time and effort used to help me achieve what I learned today. into another up and coming band student. Not only will that desire make me a serious candidate but also my dedication to make other kids enjoy the Heritage Band and its full experiences as much as I do. Although I was not in a leadership position the year prior I highly encouraged all of my incoming freshman peers to participate in all the available band socials and team building activities and convince them into loving band as much as I
Band is family. When your student walks onto campus, he or she is instantly adopted into the strongest society on campus. They will be spending their school days among the top achievers on campus, with fellow students who look out for one another and steer each other away from trouble instead of towards it. Teachers, staff, parents, and volunteers watch over all the kids as if they were their own.
The low reed section to me is not just my section, it is my family, and I would love to have the honor of calling myself mom. However, Lauren will always be the original mom and my biggest role model in band. She was the first one to give me hug whenever I was upset, she made sure I didn't get sunburned during band camp, and was overall the most loving, caring section leader I most likely will ever have. As section leader, I would like to devote all my time, love, and leadership to my section and show what an amazing marching experience truly is. Throughout this essay, I will evaluate what Lauren did well, what she could have done better, what I would do differently, and why I am the person for the job.
...join so long ago I never really knew I 'd end up here doing what I do. It seems like the common theme for me is seeing something and saying “I can 't do that” then pursuing it until I can. One of my fondest memories is watching someone at the percussion concert play a marimba solo when I was in sixth grade and just looking over at Justin molder and laughing saying “wow I can 't do that” now I do that all the time. I didn 't think I could ever be the leader of a group like this it seemed like too much for me, but now after watching and being in this program and seeing where it could go and what I can do, I want to help take it there. I feel great about next year no matter what happens but I 'm ready to step up, I 'm ready take on whatever I have to to make this year the best year yet. Not just for me but for us all every last one of us in this great family I call home.
I am always practicing and I work hard for all the things that I have now and I want to continue that growth. I’ve gone to Area two years in a row and I’ve gone to State Solo and Ensemble every year that I have been a band student at Longview High School. I believe that if I was drum major I would be able to practice more and finally be able to go to state on the French Horn. I also was considering becoming a band director in the future and I figured that becoming a drum major would give me some experience and new opportunities that I wouldn’t be able to have if I was just another band student. I want to be drum major because they are always working hard and are always improving the band. I also would love to be drum major because I would want to inspire others just like me like Lady inspired me. She made me realize that I could help the band more than I already was by helping and leading the band in everything that we have done. Many of the candidates are far more invested in being able to wear the uniform and being able to brag about being the drum major rather than being invested in being able to help the directors and the band students when they need
I feel I am a good candidate for NHS because I strive to be a leadership not just in school but everywhere. I also strive to be a good model for other students and friends. I have a young sister who repeats everything I do so it is important that I am a good role model. I have always been a person to take control of a situation or a project. I love putting down the foundations for group projects and assignments and building plans/strategies . Im very good with words and defusing situations.
One of the biggest decisions of my high school career came my sophomore year when I decided to try out for the role of drum major in my high school band. This decision was very tough to make due to the fact that I was a sophomore, and although I already had three years of experience under my belt as a band member at Northview High School, I knew that it would be very tough to earn the respect of my peers if I succeeded in becoming drum major. Out of the three years I had spent in the band, the biggest influence on my decision to try out came from my very first marching season, between August and December of 2012. From that year forward, after seeing many areas that the band could improve, watching how underclassmen and middle school band members
Throughout everyday tasks in the classroom, or outside of school, I step up and lead those who need to be led. I constantly find new opportunities to lead others and help the situation any way I can. Every summer the band has a marching band camp for a week straight that we must all attend. Being an experienced band member, I step up and assist all underclassmen and show then where to go and what they need to be doing. Instead of getting frustrated when giving the freshman directions, I am calm and collect and walk them step by step until they understand, something most leaders would not have time or patience for. With many plans to help others and lead within my community, I believe that I have what it takes to be a strong, and powerful leader for the National Honor Society.

It is about who I am off the podium. For the past five years (I marched up as an 8th grader), I have been proving something to these people, so that they trust me in this position. The character of drum major or leader is one I have been perfecting since I was a freshman. For a long time I was just an actor trying to be a character. Eventually, I had acted the part so much that I became it, and it was my role. I give respect to receive it. I build real relationships of with members to achieve trust, accountability, and effort. When people are torn up inside because of their home life, which is quite frequent in Lenoir City Tennessee, I am their shoulder to cry on, or a set of ears to vent to, or a buffer to dull their anger. When people are frustrated with me for some reason, I seek them out and learn what I can do different. When there are five flavors of gum stuck to the floor of the band room at 11:30 on a Friday night, I get on my knees with a plastic fork and start scraping. When the band director constantly yells at me for this that and the other, I take into account the criticisms and practice harder. The band and the director see this character I have transformed into, or maybe the one I have always been, and that is why I have the honor of standing on the podium and wearing the gloves. I have become the band’s teacher, nurse, cattle driver, answer dispenser, and friend. Somehow, those all add up to leader. I refuse to let them down, rather I lift them
My academic performance excels my grade level. I enjoyed past experiences with speaking in front of others by participating in student council at Brookside Elementary in the 4th and 5th grades. I have had experience updating other students about things that are happening around campus. I will always be on time for our meetings and go to every one. I will always remember to bring my best ideas so that ASB can be a thing others will enjoy. I am a responsible, organized person that likes to contribute my ideas. Some things that I can bring to ASB are a positive outlook on ideas, creative and fun ideas, motivation, quality, leadership and hard work. To be in ASB, I know that you need to respect others and have good communication with my peers. I believe I excel in these two categories, and I will put forth my best effort to make MCMS a better school. I can contribute positive character traits as well as being an example to others. I would be very excited if I could be part of ASB next
I am applying to be an orientation leader because I want to make an impact on the Class of 2020. My experience so far at Bryant has been truly remarkable. I absolutely love this school and want to share some of my bulldog spirit with future bulldogs. Additionally, I had such an amazing experience at my orientation, and now I want to give the Class of 2020 an equally amazing experience. Speaking with previous Orientation Leaders, one thing they all spoke about was the incredible friendships they formed as an orientation leader. Being an Orientation leader would provide me with a tremendous opportunity to meet new people and form great friendships while making a difference in the lives of incoming Bulldogs.
In conclusion, I believe that I can offer a wealth of expertise and experience in contributing towards the continued development of a cohesive, dynamic and collaborative school that focuses on offering outstanding world class learning opportunities for all. I consider myself to be a good role model to students and staff alike and I am committed to leading by example. This, combined with my drive, infectious optimism and commitment to playing a full role within the school beyond those duties set out, make me a strong candidate for the post.
When I read the Anthem book, it was depressed just to see the main character live like this. This book can be compared to slavery. All the things that the people did in this is book can be similar to slavery. If I was one of these the people in this book, my attitude would be depression. Not only slavery, the people who were over the people discourage them. The people were telling the main character to be the same as the other person. In the book, many people were not able to get things quicker like other people. The people wanted the students at their school to be the same. If a person is different from the person, they have commited a sin. At the end of the book things would get better.
This season was only the second year that I had been in marching band, even though we did do parades in middle school. The year before, I was selected to be drum major of the upcoming marching season. I was excited to meet the challenge of getting back to the state championships. It was also nerve-racking because I felt if we didn't make it to state, it would be my fault. To be truthful, later on I experienced both sentiments from some of the most influential, heart-warming, absolutely awesome friends that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. This would be the year that our band would adopt its slogan, its mission statement: Band #1.
The past four years have been fun and easy for some and a struggle for others. When I reflect on my high school experience, I think of watching football games, playing softball, homecoming weeks, school trips, parties and time with my friends. Others have spent their time in drama, band, community service, part-time jobs and all sorts of other activities. We have all watched Mr. LHS grow along with us until it became a big part of the high school year. I enjoyed laughing with and at the guys as they showed off their talents. This year’s homecoming football game was one of the most exciting ones we have had, with four quarters and three overtimes when we beat Jackson 48 to 42 for a homecoming victory. No matter what types of experiences we have had, I think they are important to remember and grow from.
