    [Bianco, Robert S., 1974, Ohio's first school band contest, TRIAD, pp.17-20]


     In this article, Dr. Bianco talks about the history of the first Band Contest in the state of Ohio. He talks about the schools competing, the format of the competition, prizes, even about the other events surrounding the competition (parades etc.) among other things.
     I don't necessarily have personal connections or relations to this event. I would mainly attribute that to the fact that I was not alive then. I can't really explain personal connections to that contest when it occurred.
     I found that this was not a more or less "agree or disagree" article. I found this as a future reference tool that I could use, even in a lesson that I could use with my future students when I enter the teaching profession.

  1. Can you give me a little more depth to these? There are only 2 sentences per paragraph. Generally, a paragraph constitutes as 4-5 sentences. Try fleshing out your summaries a bit, and maybe elaborating more on the historical aspect of the article.
