My name is Brianna Rene Gatewood. I am from Cibola High School and will be graduating this 2022 school year. I play marimba, piano, drums, and very rarely flute. I am the pit captain in Cibola Marching Band and I was currently enrolled in the Cibola national honor society. A positive impact I have made in my community comes from my participation in NHS activities. Some positive impacts I have made through NHS is donating to food banks, supporting school events, helping out parks in the area, and other such activities. By doing some of these activities, I have seen impact it has made such as how it feeds people, and made the community around us look much more beautiful. One activity that I still continue to do outside of NHS without the attempt for service credit, is blood donations. As I do these I am always reminded that I am helping people around the world who need my blood and it is a one wonderful experience every single time. By being in the Cibola marching band, I have been able to help out not only my band director with major events and responsibilities to ensure that everything runs correctly, but also by helping out the new students in the band and helping them learn their way into marching band and improving themselves. Some of these activities or responsibilities that I helped out with are running the packing process for performances, making sure everything was accounted for any major event or performance, directing students on how to act during certain events, and getting items necessary to help run the activities and help the students feel more comfortable while performing. When helping the students coming into marching band, I helped them especially by teaching them music skills, teaching them the tricks to marching band, and directing them in a positive way to help them have the best experience possible. I believe these impacts have helped everyone around me. NHS not only helped people in need in my community but it also helped ease the the work for the people in need of help around me. I believe that my participation especially in the band has helped the band Director run a more smooth band year, and for the students around me to feel comfortable and confident in their work towards the band. I also believe that my impact in these activities will help inspire others after me to do the same.
