Today I’ll be talking about the Santa Clara Vanguard, one of many Drum and Bugle Corps from around the world that compete annually at the DCI World Championships. They are a world renowned organization and an integral part of the musical education and strong supporter of the arts in the bay area. Budget-cuts in public schools create a void that organizations like SCV and similar organizations fill. They are essential to students for musical education and the completion of extracurricular activity requirements that attract members from all over the world including Belgium, UK, Japan and Taiwan. The Vanguard has a rich history of educating young people, not only about music and the arts, but about life-long lessons and values.
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.
Everyone realized that this maybe the last time that we could all see each other before we went on stage, this was it. We waited 3 hours for everyone to finally arrive before we started graduation practice. There were a variety of people and a variety of attitudes towards this so called practice to match. The eager students all arrived early with their pens and notebook paper just in case a note was given on how to walk or where to place your cap. Next there were those who knew it was mandatory and decided to carpool with friends in their Nike shorts, t-shirts, and Chik-Fil-A bags in hand.
Walk4Hearing At the Carilon park in downtown Dayton on Saturday May 19th. Tasha Nguyen, Allyson Skwir and I woke up early to walk at this year’s 4th annual Dayton/Cincinnati Walk4Hearing Event. The Hearing Loss Association of America's Walk4Hearing is the largest walk of its kind in the country that raises awareness and helps to eradicate the stigma associated with hearing loss. Money raised is shared between the national organization and local walk sites. We were in teams to help raise money for the cause; our team was called the Wright State Ramblers.
The bonds we create during the season last forever. Our friendships last a life time. We help each other and work hard, at the crack of dawn for 18 weeks just to put on a 10 minute show during half time at the Varsity Football team, but is not just about the show, its having the sense of you having a second family, a home away from home. Even though Marching band and music is my passion, I’m pursuing a future career in the medical
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.

The company’s target market includes school alumni, parents, students, and the general population. The company offers a variety of high quality product lines for sports including soccer, football, basketball, baseball, track, softball, cheerleading, and volleyball. Each sport includes items such as jerseys, socks, pants, tights, pads, and other forms of equipment. The company allows each student to select one inspirational quote from their favorite historian to be stitched on the bottom of their team jersey to help promote positive thinking. School Spirit Athletics receives the majority of the business via their online web page mainly because the company has only two physical locations one in Houston Texas, and the other in Los Angeles California.
A group of 100 bikers got together and in an effort to raise awareness and money for children with life threatening illnesses, took upon themselves to raise $2,500 each, having friends and relatives sponsor them for miles biked. It was a remarkable commitment. They had to solicit friends and family to donate to this worthy cause. They had to do grueling training, biking running and sweating for months in advance in order to be fit to do the ride. Family members of the bikers were very proud of having partaken in this event.
