They’re the creative team, sure, but they’re also marketing, sales, PR, accounting, etc. If a musician can’t figure out how to run their own business, then they’re pushed out of the market by someone who can — it’s as simple as that.]]> 2018-03-15 03:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242179781 kyric619 https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242179924 Musicians have travelled the world or local areas for concerts or gigs and they would have more knowledge of the area.]]> 2018-03-15 03:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242179924 kyric619 https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182394 At the age they are joining marching band, teens are battling with balancing the reality that they are not quite adults with the increasing desire for freedom, responsibility and individuality. Some rebel against parents, push back against teachers and are super-sensitive to peer-criticism. And yet, marching band requires they give up individual freedoms for the good of the cause, makes them earn responsibility and tells them they have to look, act and behave like everybody else]]> 2018-03-15 04:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182394 kyric619 https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182657 Students are together in lots of different classroom mixes, but only for fifty minutes on school days for a semester or two. Band students can be together for 10-15 hours Monday through Thursday, plus 3 hours for a Friday night football game and 14 hours for a Saturday rehearsal/competition. Couples break up, personalities don’t mesh, they come from different parts of town and with different family and economic situations — but they learn to work together, a skill many non-band teens and a lot of adults never develop.]]> 2018-03-15 04:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182657 kyric619 https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182749 In a part-time work environment there will be competition for hours, raises, promotions and responsibilities. The tendency is to look out for self and to heck with the other guy. Students compete within a band but they want everyone to do well. They compete with other bands but will wish them good luck as they pass on the way to the competition field. They will applaud for other bands – even those that beat them. Band students are team players and they understand sportsmanship.]]> 2018-03-15 04:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182749 kyric619 https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182853 By the time they’re ready for that first job (students usually turn 16 during sophomore or junior year), band students have already learned patience as marching band staff is teaching or fixing drill; perseverance and endurance through extreme temperatures, long rehearsals and so much more we teacher types throw at them.]]> 2018-03-15 04:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kyric619/zhxnurx68104/wish/242182853
