Q. What is something interesting about you? (Do you have a favorite hobby or sport that you are involved in?)A. My Hobbie, that will last me my lifetime, is music.
Q. (about the above mentioned ^ ) How long have you been involved with this? A. In music classes and such I've been doing music since 3rd grade at my music magnet school but listening and playing random instruments was since I was born
Q. Why did you start this activity? A. I started this activity because music intrigued me so much. There is life in music that grows and dies by the notes. All music is likable by someone which makes it amazing even if by small numbers. Playing and listening to all kinds of music can really help if you need to start up a conversation.
Q. Are you close with someone else involved in this? Have any relationships or other oportunities arisen because of your involvement? A. My mother is very much in love with music as well but not as me I don't think haha. When she was in high school, she joined the marching band. Later on someone heard her voice and she was to sing in front of the entire school for the mb. That event started her into many different things with music and all that. After all that she had been in 2 different bands that went on tour. She was lead singer for both of them, they would redo famous songs at that time, nothing too big, but she met a whole lot of awesome people (including my father ;) ). I think I have a voice for singing well but I would not sing in front anyone other than close friends. In my band classes in the years you get really good friendships with those who stay in the band for longer than middle school and freshmen year. My high school takes the music classes for trips around the state and country for things from big bucks fundraisers just to play to New York City to visit for a week. New York costs money to be get there and be there but still hell of a time. This year it's florida for just the band class. Music, but band especially, is awesome!
Q. What if you ever had to stop doing this? Would you miss it? A. If I ever had to stop playing music I would die a little inside every day. Sure, there's always things to listen to but unless you get to play it, the music loses its flavor. Some definitely don't have a musical intelligence but most of them don't mind not having to play the music they hear. Every chance I get, I sit on a piano or trumpet and try to just get all the notes right from trial and error.
Q. Why did you start this activity in the first place? A. This question sort of seems redundant 0.0
Q. Has it been expensive and/or time consuming?A. Joining band itself has some big fees attached like if you play a school-owned instrument or a trip wherever money. Marching band is a whole other matter. To be in the band of mb you must be in band. To do the frontline or pit, the marimbas and xylophones, a music class. Colorguard, you don't even have to know what a trombone is but knowing tempo and where to get it from should be known. MB has fees that are much larger than regular band. Going on a weekend trip to St. Louis or even Marshall, MN takes a lot of money. Coach buses, instruments, uniforms, and all that jazz is a bunch of mula.
Q. What do you get from this activity?A. I got a lot of friendships, experience, jokes, laughs, amazing memories, and a lot of general knowledge that most usually teachers wouldn't say. Music is so versatile that it can conform like water but won't move like a solid and also can't be kept like gas. Music, if you let it, can be that one thing to keep you going. I can not, and choose not, to live without music.
