Catcher in the rye/ marching band?

hey guys! so i%26#039;m doing this project for catcher in the rye for english. we%26#039;re suppose to make an abstract representation of Holden%26#039;s brain. Some people are doing like a car, or like Disneyland or something and i was thinking of doing Marching band. I%26#039;ve got most of what things could represent but I%26#039;m still not quite sure on others. So far I have:


-Marching band = Holden鈥檚 Brain


-Drum Major = leads the band, makes all the major decisions


-Woodwinds =


-Brass =


-Color guard = his imagination, brings his creativity and acting out


-Percussion =


-Field Show = His Life鈥?going through it


-Drill Downs = tests his endurance, when he messes up is equal toHolden messing up once not doing something right (getting kicked out of school)


-Competitions = Obstacles he goes through





obviously the ones without ideas next to it are the ones I cant think of. If any of you have good ideas please help me =] or if you have better Ideas than what i already have feel free 2 say. Thanks
Catcher in the rye/ marching band?
Percussion - that still small voice in him that he sometimes listens to and sometimes doesn%26#039;t
Catcher in the rye/ marching band?
Woodwinds- the high notes, often the melody represent his good side- of wanting to protect his sister and innocence of the world


Brass- the deep and often heavy timbre of the instruments demonstrate Holden%26#039;s heavy stress brought upon by himself and partly others- the reasons why he thinks everyone is hypocritical and his passionate anger at the world ( the time when he hurt his hand( fist ) when his brother died


Percussion- sometimes percussion instruments have an effect of leading the audience to anticipate an occurrence, but sometimes no major changes or astonishing events followed- this can represent the developments of Holden%26#039;s mind towards the end of the novel in which he expressed that he suddenly felt happy watching Phoebe in the rain and as Phoebe gave him a kiss- however, it is clear that he did not really mature at the end, at least not to a great extent
