in the midst of performing. Drums are my buddies in my performances.

Researcher: How does this relate to our lives?

Participant: I can relate these things to my life as a performer because as a

member of marching band I am also a dependent person just like this drums
do. This drums needs to associate with the other instruments to produce a
better sound. I need the help coming from my mentor and co-members to
increase my learning as a performer.

Researcher: Why does this problem or this strength exist?

I arrange myself into a better one, where would I start, but as time goes by
these serves as my strength because if I already set myself I am now
confident that I can perform well in every performance.

need other people to enhance my learning to become a fully grown

character to complex so that I can see the progress of my performance.

and real artist are those who are organic’ which means you must be natural
like an ocean, you must go with the flow, don’t hesitate to make something
new and be yourself, those aspects that I’ve mentioned are ways to get the
attention of your audience.
