Playing at the High School Football Game

Approximately two weeks ago, the advanced bands from both middle schools, and the band from the high school played during the Sherwood football game. Though the football game was set at a date not too long after school started, everyone was surprised by how well the students were able to play their music. This was due to the fact that all of the students from the bands had received an email informing them that they needed to practice the song “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede, during the last few weeks of summer. At the time, it was uncertain as to how many students would actually take the time to practice in their last few weeks before school started. However, many students helped prove that they …show more content…

After that, the students stood up straight, held their instruments at their sides, and marched out to the field. When the first couple of young musicians came into sight, the crowd went crazy and started cheering again. However, the students contained themselves and didn’t wave at the crowd, but instead kept marching until they were facing the Sherwood side of the stadium and stood in ready position. The whole stadium was quiet and the students waiting for the right moment to start. Then the percussionists gave out the first drumroll and the students began to shout “ Ooga chaka”, which was the first part of their band piece. After repeating this a few times, the trumpets and the other brass instruments kicked off the first few bars of the song. They were joined by the flutes at the “Hooked on a Feeling” part of the song. The students forgot all of their worries and any fears that they’d previously had, and had fun. The bands playing might’ve very well changed the mood of the football team and the crowd, because after most of the students returned to the stands to play more band tunes, the football team played as hard as they could. This ended well for Sherwood, because they won against Tigard. No band student who performed on that day will ever forget the time they had and how they played. Then again, neither will anyone who

Personal Narrative: My First Year Of High School Football

The ball hit my hands and bounced off the goal post, as my knees scraped against the rubber bits in the turf. The sun beat down on the turf as I pulled myself up from the ground. Blood rushed down my knees as I felt a stinging sensation pulsate throughout my knees. I came back to reality and heard loud cheers echoing around me. My teammates slapped my back, congratulating me. I thought there was no way that people are cheering for some freshman that has never played goalie. It was my first year of…

Personal Narrative

Personal Narrative My life is fulfilled with experiences that are mostly harmful to me whether it comes to concussions or placing my hand on a hot iron. On the other end of the spectrum, there is also a few good things that are significant, but sadly there's not as many, from flawless football seasons to math achievements. I’m glad that I felt the pain that I did endure when I was younger rather than not being able to handle it at this point of my life. I was a good child who never really got…

The Blind Side( Michael Oher) Essay

This fact alone meant that his final years in high school, Oher was the focus of attention of college coaches across America – grown men taking detours of hundreds of miles to watch him practice, in the hope of persuading him to play for their team. Had these coaches the power to design a prototypical left tackle, Oher’s six-foot-five, 330-pound frame would have been pretty close to their model. And yet the fact that he was even still at high school was, in itself, nothing short of a miracle. The…
