Band is not limited to only one type
of person, anyone can join. Even
if you do not know how to play an instrument you can learn before
joining. To make it in band
you need to be persistent. If
you are not you will probably want to quit soon after you join.
A band is a group of people that play
different instruments at the same time to create a musical sound.
Some of the instruments that can be played in a band include the
flute, clarinet, drums, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba and there are
many many more. There are
different types of bands. There
is marching band, pep band, concert band, and jazz band.
In marching band, most instruments that can be carried can be
played. The music is
limited to marching tempo music. Usually
the members of the band memorize the music and play it while marching
down the street or in a parade. Some
schools with bigger bands may do formation marching.
The members of the band go out on a football field to play music
while forming different formations.
In a concert band almost any instrument and almost any type
of music can be played. The
music is memorized and is usually played for an audience’s enjoyment.
In pep band the instruments that are played are usually limited.
The members play music during half time to show their spirit for
the home team. The music
played is usually short so more music can be played in a short time.
In jazz band the instruments are limited.
The music is also limited. The
music has a jazzy sound to it.
One can join a school band at any
time if he or she knows how to play an instrument.
Most schools start students in band at fifth grade.
Usually before playing in the band the students take lessons to
learn the instrument they want to play.
If someone has to change schools and wants to join the band at
their new, school he/she can sign up.
If he/she does not know how to play an instrument yet he/she is
encouraged to learn, they can take lessons and then join.
