Blog Question # 11

August 9, 2012

1.)    My most memorable experience from high school was marching band. The music we practiced played and performed at football games, concerts, completions, were challenging for me. It was challenging because I didn’t know how to read music that well and band camp was hard work. I remember in marching band my instrument was the bass drum. I had the biggest one in the drum line and it was cool but hard as well. The cool part about it was I had an instrument that has a lot of bass and I was like the foundation in the music. Without the bass the music wouldn’t had sound more interesting, and forceful.  I love bass by the way.  My experience with marching band was important because it taught me some things where in the real world I would use daily and for the rest of my life such as be early to work every day and not be late.  My music teacher always told ever body in the band to be early to practices, and performances. That would always stick with me.  

2.)    Now that the Bride Program is almost over, I feel like I made it through and Columbia College will accept me. I think the Bridge Program helped me in my writing skills and stayed engaged in the activities we did. It was fun as well.
