High School Concert Report
My high school’s logo is a crest with four quadrants, each with a unique symbol, including a Trojan helmet, a book and quill, a harp, and a maple leaf.
The Trojan, the current mascot, represents the community of the school, inside and out of the building. For community involvement, I became a co-president of a club that works to inform students about current political topics in an engaging, discussion-based setting. Not only does this club use opinions of students but brings in public figures, such as Congressman Trey Hollingsworth, as well. However, the most rewarding aspect of this club is seeing civil discussion between people with very different beliefs, exemplifying community. University of Wisconsin-Madison will let me continue this

For all years in high school, I have been in the music program that is represented by the harp in the crest. As a percussionist, I have been exposed to many different levels and platforms for performing music. Competitively, the marching band has placed in the top 30 bands nationally, while the indoor percussion has placed in the top eight groups in the nation. In the non-competitive side of music is concert band: public, large-group performances, solos, small ensembles, and so on. Both sides of music are highly enjoyable and have shaped me into a versatile student that uses music as a way to enjoy life. During college, I hope to involve myself in the music program as well as other groups and activities to enhance my experience.
Finally, there is the maple leaf, the school mascot before adapting the Trojan. The maple leaf represents the history of the school as well as the future of all of the other aspects of the crest. This is the reason I am applying to University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am plan to continue following the four quadrants from my high school and apply them to my college life; being involved in the community, pursuing academic excellence, and becoming a successful, student that does not only thrive in class but also outside of class are all obtainable at University of

    My desire to be a part of the Tri-M Music Honor Society is driven by a passion for performing music. Four years ago, with very little experience under my belt regarding music, I joined the Dracut High School Marching Band, not knowing the difference between the xylophone and the marimba. Little did I know that playing and performing music for myself and others would lead to who I am as a person now.…

    It was Monday, November 17 cold and snowy outside Ophelia Paris Concert Hall, Truman State University but inside it was all warmth and light as Elaine AuBuchon started the Double Reed Recital. Having not been to any actual classical music concert, I was excited to hear the talent that we have in our campus. I took it upon myself to go with an open mind, without having any previous predispositions that would affect my reaction to the concert. I just wanted to go in there, not knowing anything about the concert, and see what I hear in the music. This concert was open to anyone and free admission. The program presented a variety of styles…

    Jay Z once said, “Nobody built like you, you design yourself.” This quote embodies a campus’ culture tremendously. There are no two colleges that have the same culture. Kennesaw State University’s culture is like no other school and it is completely unique to Kennesaw. The students at this school shaped the culture of KSU into what it is today. Here at Kennesaw there is a wide variety of characteristics that go into our culture. The events I attended focused in on just a few of them, but I believe they are the most important ones.…

    When imaging a mascot, the first image to appear in my head is my high school mascot which is a tiger. In addition, I think of the attributes it represents, such as pride, honor, power, and determination; however, alongside these thoughts come the memories of the ridiculous mascot in the tiger costume messing around at pep rallies and of the stripes painted on the bodies of tailgaters who would go out and “roar” at the football games. Now instead of a tiger, I want you to imagine those scenarios, except with people. Of course you would feel proud of being a “chief,” but alongside the pride would come the person in the stereotypical Indian costume humiliating themselves…

    I believe pathos is the predominate rhetorical device in this article. Pathos is the use of emotional appeal to engage and impact the audience. The author uses pathos by discussing what the school mascot means and how it relates to the Indian tribe. One of the main voices in this article is a student named Toni Sanchez, Sanchez is a student attending Florida State University with Seminole ancestry. The statue fills Sanchez with pride as she believes the mascot portrays a time when the United States Army tried to dismantle Native American tribes but amongst the odds the Seminoles stood strong and never surrendered. She states, “Every time I look at it, I get really giddy inside. I’m so proud of it.” Sanchez has used her own emotional context to persuade the audience that the mascot statue is not discriminating, in that the statue depicts the strength and determination of the Seminoles as they were being forced out of their native land. Another example of pathos used in this article is a statement issued by Joe Quetone, an executive director of the nonprofit Florida Governor’s Council on Indian Affairs Inc., “Things fans do are outrageous and ridiculous.” Joe is arguing that the cheers and celebrations that FSU displays at sporting events do not accurately represent the tribe and that they are stereotypical of all Native American tribes.…

    How would you feel if someone dressed exactly like you, or a person that you honor and respect, danced and jumped around a gym or stadium during sports games using symbols that represent you and/or your culture? Sadly, many colleges and high schools do this. They choose Indigenous people's symbols, dances and music to make their team's mascot look exactly like a chief. Many people think that using American Indians as mascots honors the Indian people, but the truth is they feel insulted and segregated. There have been many requests to change this, not only by Indian people but by regular people from other cultures too, and still these sports teams used them as mascots. High schools and colleges shouldn't keep their American Indian name or their symbols.…

    On February 24th, I attended the West Michigan Concert Winds “Winner and Winds” concert. West Michigan Concert Winds is a volunteer group that performs instrumental music to the community.
