onorable Citizen

Sanger High School Wind Ensemble

Why is this an important trait?
Being able to accept those around you and work with them is important,
especially with a diverse population. Being in band shows me that everyone is
needed to be there to be successful. I knew it was better for me to participate in
something I love and poured my heart into.

How do you demonstrate this trait in your daily life?

There are different types of people in band that share one main interest which is
playing an instrument. Wind Ensemble shows me participating in school
activities positively and respecting the others around me. We all need each other
in order to become superior.

How does this work sample demonstrate being an honorable

citizen?
Band does not only require playing an instrument but it requires passion and
extra time. It is amazing to put my emotions into what I play and gain new
emotions from when I play. With the beautiful, fun, but difficult pieces that we
play it is amazing to hear what the band pours into the piece. Playing not only for
myself but for the others around me has shown me what it feels like to be a part
of a group. It is a group where everyone needs each other to be successful. I have
learned to respect all of the other members in band as well as myself since we are
all necessities to become superior.
