Experience in a Live Concert
Experience in a Live Concert
The best concerts that I have ever attended were two Jazz concerts in Ohio: one on 15th of September and the other on 30th of November. Initially, I had mixed expectations about what I would find there, but am glad that I gained unforgettable experience. The musical instruments that were on use include saxophone, trumpets, digital piano, trombone, horns, guitar, and drum set. These instruments created a fantastic flow of the music. Actually, they created an atmosphere of moving from the ground, flying in the sky like an eagle. The style of the performance was exceptional with elements from R&B, Reggae, Hip Hop and Jazz.
The actors were skilled in their performances. They staged their performance just like stars. Slow and soft songs created deep emotions in audience’s nerves. The performance was shifting from slow to fast tempo. In either style, the audience responded with intensive madness. Cheers and celebration covered the entire venue especially when their favorite artists stage their performance. Momentarily, the audience turned impatience with the feelings generated by their favorite songs. Everyone was hungry to perform the music at the stage with the music band. In fact, no one could afford to retain their dance position as people kept pushing forward.
The music band was active in the performance. The first brass on front line consisted of five young men who exhibited their prowess in playing tenor sax and alto sax using the saxophone. The second roll was made of four men who played trombone and tuba. The last roll consisted of guitarists, drummer, pianist, tutors, and music directors.
The performance of the song “Come over my Lover” was terrible. Trombone was played smoothly with a low tone. Drums, pianos and guitars resonated well with the title of the song. Everyone developed his/her own dancing style. Indeed, the rhythm of the song was applauded in varying symbolic dance of love.
Music hobs were busy with their cameras and ipads taking photos of the performance. They drew forward to the stage in order to cover the artists clearly. After a long dancing session, the performance took a break. However, the mood was not over. Comedians warmed the cloud with thunderous performance. They created funny jokes and imitatory voices on some of infamous public figures in America. Lifeson boomed on stage with an explosive solo piece. Everyone responded with an affirmative nod for the funny stuff (Mark 27).
New artists were ushered on the stage. Their performance was terrific and adorable. The crowd went mad in different dancing styles. Despite the challenge of coping with different behaviors from the audience, such as sniffing, smoking, and drunkenness, I would have regretted for missing such a performance.
Discussion
I accepted Mark Evan Bonds facts that when you see an event on live performance, you see the best footage. He evaluates culture and varieties of concerts in his edition. Secularism is the main element of performance in current era of music. The role of audience is also heighted in Mark Evan’s book where he says that, “the audience plays the biggest role in making a given performance lively.” This fact is valid in the 20th century where artists rely on the audience to inflame their dance (Mark 40).
However, it is prudent to avoid uncertainties that may emerge in live concert by considering watching the event ion television. Fans have suffered grievous injuries in past because of the madness of the crowd. Pushing and shoving are also inevitable in a live performance (Mark 22).

The transformative nature of recovery from drugs and alcohol addiction
I have decided to do a research paper based on ‘The transformative nature of recovery from drugs and alcohol addiction’. Addiction from drugs calls for various transformative stages that a person has to undergo in order to become fully sober from drug use. The nature of humans to be subjects of addiction has therefore called for the study of the various stages that one has to pass through in the event of quitting drug use of which may include relapse and eventually returning to the same state of abusing drugs.
Death, myths and love have a significant influence to the work. The abuse of drugs have for a long time claimed the lives of the users and therefore there is a need to come up with a strategy that will at least help in curbing the menace. Similarly, myths do exist on how the drug addicts are treated in the societies to which they live arising the need to also inform the public that the users are part of the community and are people just like us. Furthermore, the love of humans needs to be restored by regaining the dignity of the user. The society must not stigmatize the individuals but rather aid in changing the habitual drug use.
Some of the concepts to be discussed in the essay include:
Addiction- The art of being used to drugs such that one can’t do anything without them
Relapse- Slipping away from a transformational process and getting back to the unwanted state
Tolerance- The minimum amount of dose that is required to attain the same effect from a drug
Stigmatization- Being separated and treated as not being one of the society to which one lives
Recovery- The process of becoming better from a previously worse state such as from addiction to a normal person.

Case Study 7
How can the curriculum for Jandrew balance academic objectives and preparation for competitive employment and independent living?
The main focus of the program is to ensure that Jandrew is well prepared for future living which would require him to live independently, acquire a job and manage his finances, as well as, guide himself through the mainstream transport system. His curriculum can, therefore be designed in a manner that will get him ready for future, independent ling and successful employment. For independent living, the curriculum would have to teach him a number of skills. Such skills will include driving, shopping, and using the main transport system. His teacher can, for instance, develop an oral test for him which parallels the same requirements as a driver’s license exam. He must pass this exam. The teacher can also test him in other manners such as giving him state- required or a written test to answer. This will prepare him to drive in the future. To prepare him for future employment, a curriculum can be prepared that ensures that he can use tools and equipment at work safely. He can also be taught how manage his future finances by incorporating in his curriculum tests and examples of how he can plan a budget. He can also be taught how to identify the right support groups on how to properly manage his financials.
What are the goals for Jandrew when he finishes high school?
When Jandrew finishes high school, he should be able to do three main things. These are the goals that his program hopes to achieve with him. These three main goals include: to make sure that Jandrew can move from one place to another without assistance. This can be achieved through ensuring that he obtains a valid driving license before leaving high school and making sure that he has configured the transport system in his city. The other goal is that Jandrew will be able to obtain a job after high school. It is also the goal of the program that he is successful at his job. This is mainly because he will have been trained on a number of safety and relations skills. The next goal for Jandrew after high school is that he will be able to manage his finances successfully.
What strategies can enhance his positive interactions with peers?
There are various strategies that can be used to improve the associations Jandrew has with his peers. One of these strategies is to involve Jandrew in cooperative learning groups were he will be expected to participate. The tutor can also use group grades to ensure that Jandrew and his peers learn how to relate with each other. Additionally, Jandrew’s tutor can ask some of his classmates to help him with class work and extra curricula activities after classes. Science projects can also be emphasized so that students get to work with each other.
What available community resources will aid his transition to independent living?
There are various sources in the community that can help Jandrew with his transition to living independently. For example, Jandrew and his tutor can use the available department stores and other stores for consumer goods to help him learn such things as shopping, spending money, paying for goods, and getting the correct change. The community also has a number of transport systems like buses, trains and plains that Jandrew can use to practice independent travelling. When Jandrew id learning how to drive, he can use the available driving schools in the community. Other resources that might be made available to Jandrew are some employment bureaus run by the state that can find Jandrew a suitable job.
