Band has been a big part of my high school career. I participated in both marching and concert bands. There were many opportunities to grow and succeed in each band. I also did solo and ensemble where I was able to get more directed feedback about my music. Being part of the music program has allowed me to grow as a musician and learn to work with others. The band community has had a positive impact on my high school experience.
Band has been one of the things I was always excited about. It is a great community that is willing to work even when things get difficult. No matter what, we would get each other through the work to succeed at performances. In band, I learned leadership skills and good ways to work with others. I liked working as a group to create beautiful music. I am happy to have participated in marching and concert band as well as solo and ensemble. I had an amazing time in the music program and hope to carry the things I have learned with me through life.

Being part of the marching band has helped me make lifelong friends and
