Activity: Marching Band
Among the activities I listed in my application essay, the marching band is my favorite, and I desire to continue engaging in it at the university. The activity was significantly influenced by my high school director, family, and my co-marching band in high school. The involvement in the marching band had a tremendous impact on how I relate with different people in society. The directors’ fundamental point in marching was based on respect. As such, it helped in building the moral norms in my life. Nonetheless, the marching band has helped in the development of positive relationships with different people in diversity. University is made up of people from different parts of the world. The marching band will thus enable me to relate with them in the way which can promote my education and subsequently, my career path. I also desire to continue with the marching band due to its musicality feature. This is quite relaxing due to music fundamentals used, such as articulation, phrasing, intonation, and tone quality. Nonetheless, the marching band provides room for the sharing of activities involved. This helps in making all the band members as part of the organization. This is intriguing. Marching band is based on the ideology that “it is not my band, it is our band,” thus teamwork is fundamental, something I love the most.
