Writing a Marching snare solo

​

Through the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program, I had found a passion for music, specifically through the instrument of the marching snare. The cadet program even allowed me to go to Blackdown Cadet Training Centre both as a course cadet and as a staff member to learn and teach music to younger cadets for six weeks. In this time I had the pleasure of working with percussion instructors such as Mr. Corey Pearce and Major McCue. I then transferred my skills that I had learned and perfected at this training centre and utilized it in my schoolwork. In this personally written snare solo, entitled Zac Attack, I use my knowledge of marching snare music and of music in general to create this piece that was played as an assignment for my grade eleven music class.
