Music-US

In America we have a large variety of music through out our pop culture. Our music varies from place to place and person to person. Here at Burrell we have a very wide music program. We have choir and band classes, plus extra curricular bands, jazz & marching band, and an extra curricular choir, show choir. We hold an annual musical as well, which this year is the broadway show "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying"

In Lower Burrell, there is a wide arrange of music genres that people enjoy. We have a lot of small bands in our school that friends of ours participate in, such as the bands My Friday Slacks and Liotta. Bands like this are extremely local and are known by kids in our town and the few surrounding towns.

Some more nationally known bands and artists popular where we live are listed here:


 * Fun.

There is a wide range of music that we enjoy listening to. As everyone has a different opinion to what kind of music is good or bad, these few examples show how the music types can change.

In America, there are also a lot of television programs that have to do with musical talent. These are generally contest shows. Some examples of shows like this are //American Idol, The Voice,// and //America's Got Talent. American Idol,// especially, is a really big deal. A lot of popular artists who are now on the radio were once on one of these shows and won, or did exceptionally well.
