Hello Waukee! This is Kylee Kilgore from Minneapolis, MN and am very excited to see your show, The Persistence of Time, as you take the field. I have the honor and privilege of adjudicating you on both your visual and musical aspects tonight here at Valley stadium for ValleyFest Showdown. I wish you guys the best of luck and hope my comments can be of use as you prepare next week for state. Well here we go!
I just want to say first, that I love how you get on the field and your first opening set with the platforms making the minute and hour hands and the roman numerals placed around them. I love how everyone is scattered around the platforms and roman numerals with the two guard dancing down both hands. Very neat effect. Then here as we get into the marching of the show your fluttering to get next to the platforms is very consistent across the board. When you 're picking up the platform are you guys bending down and picking them up, or is your back straight? I can 't tell what everyone is doing. When you move the platform you need to make sure that you keep in time, although your marching technique still needs to …show more content…

WOW! What a fantastic marching band. I saw many great things out on the field today. Your show definitely engages your audience. Just remember that all throughout the show you have to give your best energy to give your best show. Control your energy, so your not getting tired and running out of energy at the end. Basically all of movement four has very high intensity tempos with lots of movement. You need to show the audience that you 're not giving in to the fast tempos and movement. That you can do it without getting tired and giving up. Having pride and loving what you do on the field, whether it be your love of music, marching, or the concept of your show can greatly impact your performance. All of that will engage the audience whether you have a bad run. Thank you again, Waukee for allowing me to adjudicate and experience your show. It was

I stood seven steps from the start line, hands sweaty and lips trembling. It seemed as if at any moment I would break the position of attention: feet at a forty-five degree angle, knees slightly bent, chin just above the horizon, and shoulders up, back, and down. Though I always dreamed of representing the Benicia High School Panther Band as their drum major, the lone figure in front of the block of blue and gold wearing a white British uniform and a brown bearskin hat, it never occurred to me that I was finally there. There was no way I could not be nervous; it was the last marching practice before my first competition in my career. Nevertheless, there was no escape.

The drum major’s voice rings out, sharp and clear in the tense silence. We hear her call us to set, and we freeze. The band is across the field, standing a block, every member leaning forward, forming the same angle towards the ground. We are lined up from the 35 yard line to the 45, lying on the wet grass as if we are asleep. We are perfectly still, then suddenly we rise, kicking our legs in unison.

They remind me of when I used to live in Cuba. I felt very proud to have someone from my own country represent us in such a positive way. One feature that I noticed a lot in the music was call and response. There were also short breaks where some instruments such as the trumpet and piano. There were many instances where there was a lot of interaction between the drums and trumpets.

I think my parents are going to go deaf soon. Between the snap of the snare drum, the ring of a crash cymbal, the kick of the bass drum, and the clang of the baby grand piano, my parents hearing is declining. With percussion and piano I have been drawn to the more boisterous instruments. Even though I play some of the loudest instruments, my parents still yell at me for being on the quiet computer. It seems that my parents don’t value quiet as much as I thought.

African-Americans faced a tremendous amount of discrimination between 1950 and 1970. Even to this day, discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, and gender is still a continuation of a problem that was prominent in the 50’s and 60’s. A problem in the 50’s and 60’s was the segregation applied to schools, where African-Americans were not permitted to go to a White-only school. Thankfully, in July of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibited discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, and gender and gave all citizens the right to enter public establishments. To this day, this act gives young African-Americans all across America the chance at a normal school life without being hassled by

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.

Imagine you were standing on a massive football field with thousands of eyes on you. Your legs quiver with excitement, ready to show the audience what you and your closest friends have got. And it begins; your very first marching band performance. This is the beautiful part of marching band: compassion, friendship, competitiveness, courage, and the strength to continue. This is why marching band is a sport.

The concert on May 5th turned out to be pretty good. The concert turned out to be enjoyable and was a fun time for people to listen to their children either play an instrument or sing. I heard multiple good things about our concert, things such as how cute the elementary kids were and how good the band played. I think we sounded better than other years. This is the best we will sound when compared to the years to come.

To the average person, the high school marching band is nothing more than a bunch of geeks that play during half time at the football games or monopolize the benches by the band hall, but to me, it is so much more. To me it is a family, a safe haven, a creative outlet, a home. I have been involved in marching band for three years, going on four, and I wouldn 't trade the experience for anything. When I entered high school as a scared and awkward freshman, I immediately had three hundred people that I could rely on. The program quickly became like a second home to me and opened up a whole new path in my life.

When in reality they have to know how to dance and memorize movements that are not just playing an instrument and marching. And sometimes they have to play memorized music, and choreography while marching in perfect timing at a fast tempo and performing to an audience for seven to ten minutes straight. Watch the drum majors (the students that stand on a podium and conduct), and know where to go at each second all at the same

At first the dancers were pretty good, but they were still a bit out of sync and not necessarily hitting their marks consistently. Not only did they have to be in time with each other, but the lights, music, projections, and scrim movement all also had to be on time. We started off doing each of these things individually. For instance, in Jenny’s big piece, Micah controlled the lights, Matt Inglis the sounds and projections, Matt Dodson and Colby the scrims, and I told Jim when the dancers were in position so he could keep everyone together. By opening night, however, nearly all of the sound and light cues were tied together, the dancers had their timing down, and Jim could tell Colby and Matt when to raise and lower the scrims based almost solely on the music, and he knew the dances well enough to tell Matt when to hit light and sound cues based on dancer

Marching band is one of the most underrated sports, but is also one of the greatest due to the physical and mental strength required to to be successful at it. Instead of making this essay all about why I should be a section leader of next years Alto Saxophones, I have decided to write about why a specific team of saxes should be next years section leaders. After watching the huge change in the flute section this year with three section leaders, I asked myself, if the flutes could do it, then why can’t we? The section has pretty much accepted that Kristina will be a section leader as long as she applies. A majority of us have no problem with that because she deserves it.

It’s a perfect night for a concert, warm, calm, and overall elegant. On Friday, September 11 in the Nightingale Concert Hall, a fabulously performed concert called the Argenta Concert Series, The Fifth Anniversary Season, directed by Dmitri Atapine and Hyeyeon Park, took place. In this performance the following musicians performed; Stephanie Sant’Ambrogio on the violin, Dustin Budish on the viola, and James Winn on the piano. Not only that, there was also a guest appearance by Jonah Kim on the cello. Although not the best turnout, there was still a decent audience.
