IN PERSON MARCHING BAND WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
MUSEN 303
I apologize for the overly emphatic celebration, but marching band was the #1 reason I was excited to get to campus the moment it was in person again. And let me say, it was everything I expected and more. It has been nearly two years since I have played in person in an ensemble, much less to a crowd of 50,000 cheering fans! (Or to those at the rallies...)
​
Taking up anywhere between 8 to 20 hours a week, there is no way I could have managed to do marching band if it wasn't something that I truly loved... but it definitely is. Unfortunately I don't see myself pursing a career in music, but I do love seeing the ways that it can connect to my personal growth. Whether it be teamwork in listening to the rest of the band, accounting for details in delayed beats across the field, or the focus in ensuring my perfect position on the field, I'm not sure there is anything more thrilling (or taxing on my lungs) than this and all I can say is I love every moment I'm playing into the audience and every person I've met in the band.
This school year, I was elected to be the Director of Local Partnerships, with my primary responsibility being to work with other RSOs and local organizations to coordinate volunteer-led events! We went to many locations, including Roots young adult shelter, the UW pantry, the UW farm (seen to the right) and to Community Lunch in Capitol Hill! What I've found is that volunteering with these organizations is 1) an incredible way to make friends and have fun at the same time and 2) it is super easy to get involved! Just one email and most places were happy to have us come help out.
