In chapter three of “No Promises in the Wind” the train stopped in a town late in the afternoon. The bulls (as called in the book) are the men who are sent to get the free riders off of the train, but after the accident the bulls were nowhere to be seen. Everyone on the trains were able to get off on their own accord, because there were no bulls around. In the town’s depot no one paid any attention to them. Joey’s face was red and swollen because of all the crying he had done.
The concert that I attended was the UIC Wind Ensemble concert on October 17, 2015 at 7:30 pm, in the UIC Theater and was about an hour to two hours long. The fist performer I will introduce is Jose Oliver Riojas, which was also the conductor of the concert. Riojas is the assistant professor of music at the University of Illinois in Chicago and the conductor of the Wildacres Saxophone Ensemble. Some other performers was The New Century Saxophone Quartet, Chris Heming way (Member of the Stan Rubin Orchestra), and Ashlee Hardgrave (“Vocal Powerhouse” Soprano Soloist). This concert was played by UIC students.
How would you react when faced with a disaster? It is likely you would behave differently than other people in a disaster. This question isn’t difficult to answer after reading “The Forgotten Storm” by Akin E Wallace which discusses how former state senator F. M. Hewitt reacted when he was in De Soto during the time which the tornado stuck the town. Then compared to how Gulfport Mississippi police department maintenance supervisor Terrence Gray reacted in Hurricane Katrina’s wake in “In Katrina’s Wake” by Kelly Knauer.
Many people are quick to jump to conclusions on people 's personalities due to their appearance and their backstories. The townspeople of Hillsboro makes assumptions of Henry Drummond by saying that he is a horrible agnostic, they even went as far by calling him “the devil” and attempt to restrict him from entering the town just because of the stories they heard about him. In Lawrence and Lee 's Inherit The Wind, it is shown that Henry is actually a praiseworthy character throughout the play even though the townspeople labels him as a terrible person. Throughout the play, he is a strong advocate for the freedom of thought even when opposed by many, all his motives had intelligence behind it, and shows respect and stands up for Matthew
Although my dad was passionate about playing the oud he also managed to learn, and play other instruments such as the violin, and the privet, but nothing could top the emotion that was brought through
I don’t know what I would do without music. I tried passing on music to my kids, but none of them found the same interest that I have for it. I’ve bought them all their own guitars and basses over the years and no one found a liking to
Playing percussion took on a whole new definition in my eyes and I gained not only a greater respect for music, but for the people that created it and managed it and loved it like no other. Through my high
Looking back, it was one of the few things I put all of my effort into. I was just in sixth grade, and had just started my musical career with not so great of a clarinet. However, I was enlightened by my peers and teachers that I was talented. I had not been in many competitive activities, but in what I had attended I had always performed well.
I believe that being actively involved in a music program is a very important part to intellectual development. I am a very accomplished cellist who plays for the Columbus Symphony youth orchestra, and am also a member of the marching band's color guard. My experience in the music program at my high school benefited me in many ways. Personality wise, I grew confidence preforming as a cellist in front of other people.
I had been in band from fifth grade through high school so even just hearing an ensemble sound again was amazing as I miss band very much. I also really enjoyed The Swan Lake Suite as it has been one of my favorite pieces since I was little, so it was also really nice to hear something that I already knew a little of how it would go. The orchestra sounded amazing and I am also good friends with one of the bassoon players so it was neat that one of our concerts to choose from had someone I knew in it. It was so interesting to hear all of the elements we have been discussing in class, actually in person and it was helpful that I was in band throughout school
I have been a part of the orchestra since the fourth grade. From learning to play the violin, I have gained much more than just learning how to play the instrument. Playing the violin has taught me the importance of patience, and perfection. Firstly, playing the violin taught me that patience is necessary in learning anything. I did not learn certain skills such as vibrato in one lesson.
Attending my first jazz concert was an unforgettable experience of great live instrumental music. The concert was entertaining and a very educational experience of this course. As a student in this course with little musical education, I never appreciated instrumentals, until the SDSU Jazz Concert. This concert was a really enjoyable experience with the balance of all the instruments. I really enjoyed the experience and the knowledge of music I gained from the concert.
Music classes serve no purpose in schools and are essentially replaceable. This is because most adults either forget how to play their instruments or never use it in real life unless it’s part of a career or passion. What’s the use of knowledge that fades away and makes no contribution? A newrepublic.com editor surveyed adults who had
At a young age, I constantly wanted to express myself through music. I always found a way to incorporate music into my daily life, whether it be by blasting my favorite music, creating my own funky songs, or even having the opportunity to participate in my elementary school choir. My love for music actually took flight after I had decided to join my elementary school choir, however, in my opinion, it is not the most transformative moment in my life. After elementary
Band has given me tons of friends and lessons in life that I will remember and carry on with me
