\"Screen<\/a>Being part of the Harding band plays a significant role in the musical students lives.<\/p>\n

“Band is where I belong,” Josette Frizwald said. “I had a music theory teacher tell me once ‘For some people, there is a hole in us that nothing else can fill except aspects of relationships, friends, family. Musicians have a hole in them that only music can fill.’ That is what band does for me, it feels that hole.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are many significant differences between the Harding band and other university bands.<\/p>\n

“Harding University differs from other universities in that it’s a private school and a christian university,” Michael Higgenbottham said. \u00a0“So for many of us, the draw to come to Harding was the religious aspect of it, and I feel that having that connection with the other members of the band really promotes a sense of unity that you can’t find in other university bands.”<\/p>\n

One Harding band member, Nathan Eliss, uses band to piece together his social life.<\/p>\n

“Coming in as a freshman, I didn’t have near as many friends as I do now,” he said. “I get to express myself more now, not only socially, but musically; having that artistic background, \u00a0it feels a spot that only music can feel.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Band director Dr. Mike Chance feels that bands adds to the students lives in a way that other classes do not.<\/p>\n

“It is certainly an activity that’s different from any other activity you can be in but it can also adds something to society in a way that very few things do in our world today. It adds a positive experience for students and it adds entertainment, but it also adds a medium through which real artistic expression can take place,” said Chance.<\/p>\n

Out of all the extra-curricluar activities to choose from at Harding, band stands out as a place to feel at home for the students.<\/p>\n
