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.
PART 1 and 2: What I know and what I want to know? If standing in the sun for 12 hours, playing music, and sweating until nothing is left in your body seems enjoyable than DCI is your calling. My passion is music, but after high school there is nothing really left to do unless I were to make one of the top groups I am going to mention in this paper. Marching season is the most enjoyable activity any music lover could participate in; DCI is basically a professional marching band. People from the ages of 14 to 22 use the structure of your average high school marching band, perfect it and take it to the next level.
It is said that the history of the djembe dates back at least several centuries and possibly more than a millennium. Traditionally, just as it is today, in Africa an individual needs to spend plenty of years with his master in ceremonies and other festivities before becoming an actual djembefola. In this day in “western civilizations” learning to play the djembe normally involves finding a master drummer and having lessons, whether the lessons be private or in groups. In general players need to learn the basic sounds and traditional rhythms to be able to do well in class. As with any other instrument many years of hard work and practice are required to become one of the best.
You generally want to be in good physical condition because in the corps you have to take a physical fitness test every six months. In order to enlist you have to meet the minimum requirement of doing 5 pull-ups, 60 crunches and run 1.5 miles in 11 minutes (USMC). The better shape you are in before enlisting the easier boot camp will be for you, but if you aren't in shape it will be "hell". Without doubt, Marine boot camp is more challenging both physically and mentally than the basic training programs of any of the other military services. Not only because the physical requirements are much higher, but the recruits are also required to learn and memorize a startling amount of information.
soon intervened by making Michael practice and exercise everyday. He had his first game days later in which he tackled so well one of the opposite’s team member that everyone was shocked. S.J. sent days later the video of Michael tackling the other member to several universities and suddenly everyone was interested in him. But to win a scholarship he needed to have a better GPA, so they hired a tutor for him.
I said hi and we chatted for a bit and then he started the practice. The North Branch Marching band contains of: the condtor, the drum majors, instruments players, drum line and the color guard. Then the band member lined up in four lines and about twenty across. The practice contains of stretches, marching and playing the scales while marching all together as one. If one person made a mistake like getting off foot or play the wrong scale’s.
He has high expectations from his players rather it is athletically, academically and personality. He wants to know what his players are doing all the time and wants them to be leaders on and off the field even putting them through leadership classes at the college. He believes in his coaches and his players. He micro-manages but with a meaningful purpose and that is success. He wants his whole program to be successful off and on the field and to prepare his players for life after football and he has a plan for all of
It is common knowledge that the fear of failure is what drives Kobe to his infinite pursuit of excellence. I applied that same mindset to my summer training. I drove myself beyond the fear of not performing at a high level. I followed the same rigorous schedule everyday and rested only on Sundays, because of my involvement in the church my family and I attend. 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.
Then in High School, a big group of people spent their whole week trying to beat the seniors at most school spirit. Not to mention the many Saturdays I have spent with the band at different band competitions. In my junior year of high school I became Drum Major of the band and it helped me grow up and be more outgoing. The first year I was drum major the
It is hard to have six different teachers teach the same units over and over the same way. Each teacher should develop different teaching styles to keep his or her students engaged every year. In conclusion, I believe that physical education teachers are not given enough money in their budget to not only replace and repair broken equipment, but to also use that budget to get new equipment for the students each year. I believe that each department should have at least $5,000 every year to get up to date equipment for their physical education. When writing a curriculum I believe that it is important to be up to date on the different sports that are evolving within the state you are teaching in.
