Recommended: Discuss the concept of improvisation

My sophomore year in the Pride of Broken Arrow, my section leader's name was Mason Rhue. He was an outstanding man and a prodigy at mallet percussion. I never realized how talented he was until our instructors would play accompaniment parts to different songs while he would play the lead. This epiphany made me want to become as like Mason and have the incoming rookies of the section look up to me how I looked up to Mason. So I stayed after school every day and practiced for hours on end. I would complete all my homework and spend the rest of my time in the band hall, improving all the little details I could to improve While I was practicing, Mason would be there to help me out. Mason would work on his own technique and then give me pointers

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

  • Narrative Essay On Marching Band

    Two weeks before school even started, the Hotchkiss High School Marching Band began its march to the state-qualifying competition in Delta. We worked four hours a day for five days, getting our fundamentals going and getting a feel for our new show.
