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.

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.

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.

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.
