The girls were executing every play to perfection. We won the game, silencing a team of seniors who had taunted us for weeks before the game. Almost sweeter than our decisive win, I realized, was the fact that we were celebrating our win as a group of close friends, many of whom we had just made a few short months
In the video, the dance looked like it was very easy to execute but having already been in the technique class all year, it is amazing to know that doing the movements correctly is actually difficult. May O’Donnell constructs her pieces with the use of spacial structure. She organizes her dancers so that different groups are spread out differently throughout the stage and at times she uses all dancers in one singular spacial structure, like a diagonal. She changes the organization on stage frequently so that the audience would be constantly captivated by the rapid action on stage. She also uses many other choreographic tools to keep the attention of the audience and bring contrast to her piece.
The parents didn’t approve of the switch to a drum corps, so Royer started anew drum and let the kids name it, and they picked Vanguard, which is by definition: the leading position of a movement, field, or cultural trend. They were incepted into Drum Corps International(DCI) in 1972. After the VFW and several other drum corps circuits merged. They consistently rank at the top of the competitive drum corps activity with 6 championship titles and 34 consecutive appearances in the world championships. Championships have been held at many different locations, particularly college and NFL stadiums, but DCI currently has a 10 year contract with Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN.
My schedule consisted of waking up early every day and taking a 1.5 mile run, followed by taking 500 jump shots, a similar exercise Kobe performed during his high school career. Conquering the fear of failure became an imaginary bond between Kobe and I. I knew that working hard all summer honed my physical and mental edge on the court. When tryouts came around, the odds were against me, as the team roster had been established, but I did my best Kobe impersonation and played harder than anyone else on the court. I made the team because just like Kobe, I wasn’t going to fail. This experience taught me to have fortitude, and to always strive for my dreams.
The children themselves are judged on how well they perform, their looks, and also their confidence, or how confident they may seem. Contestants spend no more than two hours and even sometimes less in a competition and only spend a total of 90 seconds on stage. The children compete to win different prizes, prizes that include toys, cash, scholarships and trophies. Reasons that parents normally use for entering their children into these competitions, are ones that say that their children gain confidence from the experience. Also parents say it will boost their self- esteem, also teaching them poise, public speaking skills and good manners.
The Local Hip-Hop community is behind this movement in such a big way that the youth will listen to what’s being said because they look up to half of the local Rappers, Deejay’s, and Entertainment companies that’s out here today. We have started a page on Face Book that will be dedicated to the youth of Charleston to express their feelings and concerns, to hear what they feel needs to be done in order for us to help them.

Soon we will have charges pressed against us just for breathing each other’s air. For example, my little sister who is thirteen years old, recently entered into a science fair. As I see her constantly working on her project, she is always improving her project every time she works on it, working very hard and making the family proud. Finally, the day of the science fair was here. I have never seen her so excited to go to school and show-off all her hard work, time, and effort she has put in this project.
The Stephanie Hess The lights are dim, there is only a minute left in the game. The team is exhausted, the fans are on the edge of their seats, but there is still hope. The team’s motivation, the sideline cheerleaders, are chanting their hearts out for their team to win. They are a dedicated group of young women who give all to their sport of cheerleading, a sport that traditionally supports players of other sports. Cheerleading, however, which is now considered a mostly female activity, was actually begun by men.
You have to constantly the working out before the season and during the season week in and week out because it demands a great deal of strength. Also if you want to be able to perform with the big dogs in the sport you need to be just as strong as them or stronger. That’s what I thought each summer while I ran and lifted with the team everyday. Each day I tried to out perform myself from the last day and the other player on the team. In the mince of that I was training with to personal trainer in between the workouts during the summer.
Behind the eyes of a dedicated band student, lays a fierce competitor from within. Eyes on the prize, that band student put in hours of constant rehearsing for one true goal…to excel in any opportunity given. However, there is one important lesson that the band student is taught that is useful for our lifetime goals; to always put one hundred percent in everything he/she does. An extracurricular activity is usually seen as just to keep the student busy. There’s more to it than it may seem.
