Graduation Speech: Band-Ten-Hunt

286 Words2 Pages
"Band-Ten-Hunt" "Hun!" The piercing July sun beats down upon our SPF-coated skin and reflects back into our eyes off of the enormous silver sousaphone two rows ahead. We squint and breathe slowly as sweat drips down our faces, but we focus relentlessly and ignore the uncomfortable sensation. We are in attention. Our feet together, knees not locked, stomach in, chest out. Our eyes with pride. We are a small army fighting against culture. While society is racing, posting, and engrossing. We are in an open field roasting. We are the marching band. We are a company united through self-discipline and a passion for music. I am their leader.
My experience leading Port Huron High School's Big Red Marching Machine taught me the value of hard work,

Our dad would have been 76 today. I miss him as much today as I did the day he left his earthly body behind to transcend into the heaven. The older I get the more I realize just how lucky we were to call him Pops! I wouldn't be the man I am today without his guidance.

J. Martin Daughtry makes various claims about music and sound in the context of US military involvement in Iraq in his book Listening to War. Throughout the book he details the how troops receives specialized training on interpreting sounds, and gives vital incite into how soldiers use music in their daily activities. Despite never serving, Daughtry preserves authenticity with numerous first hand accounts and testimonials. Most of his stronger claims have this support: like his exploration into music as a tool for soldiers to adopt a mindset appropriate for the task at hand and as a psychological and physical defense mechanism. Many of Daughtry’s ideas are well illustrated through Orlando Caholo’s music video titled “IRAQ (EYE OF THE TIGER)”.

Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long. As a band of over 125 individuals, it takes determination, pride, and confidence to achieve the goals we have set forth to accomplish. As a leader of the saxophone section, I know what it’s like to face failure, to overcome and turn it into success and to march on with confidence.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I would like to thank you all for coming to represent Mr. Peat the frog today. For today, we mourn a misunderstood friend. Just a few days ago, Peat the Frog shimmied off this mortal coil and hopped up to the big lily pad in the sky. Unfortunately, there’re currently chanting and carrying disgusting images outside this very funeral parlor, but let us try to drown out their hatred with our love. Though Mr. Peat fought bravely and happily, he lost his years, but take heart, for he passed while smoking an epic spliff, surrounded by his friends Andy, Aden, and Lundon, all of whom were kind enough to join us

Lone Star High School is a location where students can feel secure and have many opportunities to showcase their skills and leadership qualities. Our campus is built upon five figurative pillars; Integrity, Strength, Stewardship, Loyalty and Perseverance. These pillars are what make us the admirable school that we are today. I believe everyone of our students must have these five qualities in order to ensure success now and later on in the future. As a student I believe that for one to have integrity they must show signs of righteous ethical morals.

I always wanted to be in marching band ever since I saw the Panther Marching Band halftime show when I was in 6th grade. It seemed easy enough; play your instrument and march around in different formations. At the time I thought, “How hard could it be?” Fast forward three years to my first pregame performance and my mindset changed dramatically. Minutes before the performance my attitude was, “Why did I sign up for this?

We wore a red checkered uniform and a serious expression. Because of the band, you fell in love with on sports day – even though the only time you’d ever run was from vicious stray dogs. Cheering for our teams, tuck-shops, competitions filled the air with excitement. Various games like relay, hurdles, long jump, high jump were a part of the activities. Special games were organized for the teachers as well as the parents.

Martin Luther King Jr. gave a sermon on February 4, 1968 entitled “Drum Major Instinct.” In the sermon, he inspired his congregation “to seek greatness, but to do so through service and love” (King Encyclopedia). King recognizes the human instinct to be in front of others and to lead them in the so-called parade. When this drum major instinct takes over, the excitement of leadership can distort personalities. The leader of the parade must be leading the band to victory rather than embracing the victory as glory.
