I sat down and thought about what topic to write about and couldn't think of anything. So I decided to write about the one thing that's most prevalent in my life here at Howard University; the music program. Being a member of the Howard University Showtime Marching Band has been one of the greatest decisions I've made in my life. The work is challenging, we practice for so long everyday to reach the perfection that you guys see on game days. Every step we take has been engineered to match each beat of the musical selection. Within the band there are separate entities called sections. My section is the drum line, or Thunder Machine as its called here. We work the hardest, and perform the most. Being a part of this section has changed me both physically and mentally. They prepare us for the performance world and the real world. I plan on marching for my duration at Howard University and continuing a legacy of great performers and musicians.
