Harmony in Diversity through ONU Marching Band

The ONU marching band is playing a huge role in gathering a ginormous amount of people from different backgrounds and gathering together to perform together as a unity of the marching band itself. This is a great way for all types of students who are of a different culture or setting to get to know other students and form diversity as a group to represent the college. Music itself is an amazing way to bring people together no matter what type of background they have because when it comes to music, every one playing their instrument is on the same track. There is NO SEPERATION! Together the people performing share the same goals and ambitions while playing their piece to the music, and that is to collaborate with each other and combine the musical into a spectacular piece. The ONU march band in nicknamed "The Star of Northwest Ohio" just because the ensemble is completely phenomenal. With the students sharing a different background and coming from countries around the world, they all have one thing in common: a love for making music!

When thousands of people come to an ONU football game, every single one of those individuals most definitely becomes impacted by the performance from the marching band. Not only does the sound and performance grasp people's attention, but how the band performs together to make the ensemble sound extraordinary. In addition, we are not the only ones who observe their performance. They get the opportunity to travel to different countries around the world and perform there. It is without a doubt that they impact more and more people from around the world based upon how they may work together in a diverse unit to perfect the performance. The college's motto is "Ex Diversitate Vires". That motto means that our diversity is what strengthens the university's foundation.

    I think it is great that you chose to highlight the importance of the ONU marching band. I didn't expect this to be the post that you picked for this week but I really like the message that you are sending with it. The band might get overlooked but for most of the students at ONU, they mean something. Thanks for sharing AJ!

Donald Trump and Social Media

In today's society, the majority of people get carried away with thinking they wouldn't be at certain places without social media. For example, the reason why a person gets a job is because a person on their social media platform was introducing their business company to get their followers to join their business. President Trump has stated that he would not be where he is today with out social media in general. According to an article on VOA News  , President Trump defended his regular use of social media and said that he may not have won the White House without it. He is specifically referring to the use of Twitter because this is his platform of choice. It's also another way to keep the people updated on what is going on and his current plans. "Tweeting is like a typewriter. When I put it out, you immediately put in on your show. I doubt I would be here if it weren't for social media, to be honest with you." said President Trump. This is the wor

My Personal Experience During Homecoming Weekend

This past homecoming weekend was truly a blast and one of the few life memories to have. Having participating in the football program and playing in the game during homecoming a weekend was absolutely a blessing hearing the people in the stands root for ONU and showing major support. When I reminisce homecoming back in high school, I picture the amazing memories I have being nominated for homecoming king and standing in the middle of the football field during halftime with the other nominees. When it comes to college homecoming, the spirit is much more enchanting and people really showed love for the school. It was an honor seeing the alumni coming back. It was also a great opportunity meeting an NFL athlete and former Ohio Northern football player, Jason Trusnik. Jason really gave us some encouragement in the locker room during halftime and we came out and got a phenomenal win. Apart from the football game itself being an incredible experience, I had also attended another homecoming

The women's volleyball team at Ohio Northern University (ONU) has had a very successful season with 27 wins, five losses and being nationally ranked at 18. The team will be playing in the first round of the Division III NCAA Tournament on Friday November 10, ONU will make it's way to Wittenberg, Ohio to take on DePauw University. The ONU volleyball team now has a great chance to advance to the national championship if they continue to win. Also, if ONU continues to win more games, this will give our university another successful title for the success we had. It was a great opportunity to watch the women's volleyball team against Mount Union last Thursday, November 2. The fans were going wild, and the team played with passion while gaining another victory. The level of competition they put out showed the hard work and intensity they've been putting in at practice the entire season. I look forward to the team gaining more success as the season continues.
