Hello, my name is Rabeeba Mahaseen, and I'm a major band kid! I joined band in 2015 and have been in love with the art ever since then. Marching band is my favorite activity: I marched flute and conducted in high school. I was also fortunate enough to participate in Drum Corps International (DCI) which is marching band at a professional level. I served as a condutor for the Crossmen in Summer 2024!
Gotta keep busy and practice so I can always progress my musical ability. Here are the classes I take in order to stay on top of it:
| Department | Course Number | Course Name | Meeting Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| MUS | 612A | Structure of Tonal Music | M/W/F: 11:00AM–12:00PM |
| ENS | 103W | Wind Ensemble | M/W/F: 12:00PM–2:00PM |
| MUS | 411A | Ear Training and Sight-Singing | T/TH: 11:00AM–12:00PM |
| CON | 2802 | Master's Conducting: Band | T/TH: 10:00AM–11:00AM |
| MUS | 213M | History of Music I | M/W: 10:00AM–11:00AM |
These websites help me the most when I want to keep up with DCI or test my skills.
I rewatch these videos when I want to relive the moment, or connect with the art that fills me with so much joy and gratitude! I have some of my favorite marching shows listed.
