323 Words2 Pages
I want to be a leader of the Prosper High School Band because I want to help set the standards for the coming years and help those who have trouble organizing their time/ schedule throughout the marching season and the 2018- 2019 school year. As well as help them gather their thoughts about a specific subject or issue.

If I am not chosen as a leader in the next semester, my daily do’s and participation will not be affected. I will strive to be the best that I can, until the end of my high school career.

Outside of band I am a leader in my algebra class, I simplify the lesson at my table group so that it seems easier to the students that have a struggle understand the lesson and equations.

I do believe that I am a good spinner in colorguard

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.

My greatest strengths as a leader include, the ability to differentiate between the time to have fun and when it's time to buckle down and get things done. As a leader, I am assertive and can make sure people will know their place without causing any unnecessary conflict within the band. As an officer, i will help get the band prepared for state by putting in multiple hours of 1 on 1 sessions with members that might be struggling or lacking in correct marching techniques; this will hopefully become a staple for future officers of the band and would really improve the footwork and playing ability of future members. Being a member of the band, i have put in multiple hours of my time to practice and perfect the music that is given to me. I have never missed a practice or rehearsal unless my absence was caused by a medical or family issues.

When I ended my sophomore year, I felt as if I was on top of the world. My grades were top tier, I had a successful soccer season, and I had just been assigned the drum major position in my school’s marching band. However about halfway through the following summer, I was diagnosed with depression. Instead of trying to fight through my condition, I allowed myself to slink deeper and deeper into an abyss. I knew that in my tenure as drum major, I would need to have a stable mind in order to be effective and have a possible impact on the band

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.

Musical Goals: As a PhD student at Duke aspiring to have an academic career, I'd like to pursue music as a serious hobby on the side. I am currently writing/recording a short album (about fifteen to twenty minutes long) and plan to have it published on Bandcamp and YouTube before next May. For live shows, I'll rearrange the songs or write new material that can be performed by a three or four piece band. Two ten to twenty minute shows for students at venues on campus or charity events before next Fall seems to be a realistic goal.
