Week 8

The main theme I see through my research would have to be simply a love for music. Many of the people I have talked to enjoy many aspects of being in a college band. There are many things that go along with this. Many of the members of the band believe that they are in it for the people and the environment that comes along with it, but all of that circles around to a love for music. The people get along because they share it and the environment is something they fall in love with because they fill it with the music. This is how the love for music fills the field site completely. My place in the field site is probably exactly where it was eight weeks ago. Although I have learned a little more and have talked to members of the site, I have not moved up in the area at all. I believe in the field site, the closest I will be is a fan. Although I will still just be a fan of the athletic team, I have changed slightly as now I am also a fan of the band. I notice them playing more often during the games even if I am not there just to do research. My total outlook as completely changed in that sense and its definitely changed for the better.
