Band

Hi! I'm Crystalfang of Skyclan. Just Crystalfang will do ;)
So, I go "next door" (HEES people will know what this means) and I like middle school a lot more than I expected to! I thought I would be completly lost, and not see ANY of my friends throughout the day! Not so. The only class I really have a problem with is P.E., and well, everyone I know doesn't like it. Overall, I really love it!
This is sort of about middle school, but mostly about Band. You've probably already guessed by now, but yes, I am in Band. Beginning Band, that is. We had an instrument fitting night in May, and I now play clarinet. At first it was rather difficult to play, but after I got the hang of it, it became fun and exciting. Well, anywho, I have first period Beginning Band. Right now we're working on our concert music for our upcoming concert! YAY!!!
We will be playing Chanukah Lights, Up on the Housetop, and the all-time favorite, Jingle Bells! I have part 2 for both Chanukah Lights and Jingle Bells. It's really easy. Part 1 is really easy, too! Which kind of brings me to the random thing I wanted to share:
I AM AUDITIONING FOR INTERMEDIATE BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like there are three levels of chorus, there are three levels of Band: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced. I just started playing my instrument this year in Beginning Band, and now I'm going to move up to Intermediate Band. I'm almost done with the red book, and then I'll start on the blue book. Can't wait!!
Sooo, off the topic of Band. My middle school life is pretty simple, like everyone else's, I guess. I go to first period, then when the bell rings, I go to second, and then to third, and so on and so forth. I guess the only bit of advice I have is...Well, I guess I can't really give it out because it's something I'm still trying to improve about myself. How can I tell people to do something when I can't do it myself? It wouldn't make any sense. It would be like telling people to be good, when all you do is get referalls and lunch detentions all the time. Come back later. Maybe I'll tell you then.

Hey a good piece of advice for middle school is just to be yourself. BUT don't put all your opinions out on the table, because then you can get made fun of or a.k.a. bullied. NEVER make fun of someone. Always do tour best and don't give up on your dreams!!!

Always Do Your Homework

Homework might not seem like a big part of your grade, but take it from me, it is. It might just be a couple of questions, why get a zero on something that would only take you a minute? When I say homework that means ALL of the work that you do at HOME, that includes projects, papers, workbook pages, everything.Also, don't wait until the last minute because, the chances are that you would have forgotten how to answer a certain problem.So remember, always do your homework!

Never Post-Pone Work

OK so my science teacher gave us a project about maybe 3 weeks ago? I kept putting it off. I have lots of homework and curricular activities I stay up until 10'o'clock at night with homework. Well our computer started to fail and the printer stopped working so that delayed me even more. 1 week left. I can get this done. Night before project is due I'm up until 12:45 at night finnishing my poster. Life lesson learned: Never Post-Pone Work.

My Guide to Survival

One word I use a lot to describe the difference between Middle and Elementary School is...Different.Don't take that the wrong way, it's different, but in a good and fun way.Now I understand that the thought of Middle School can be a little scary, but honestly, it's exciting. It may take a while to get used to your schedule, your classmates, and going from the top in 5th grade to the bottom in 6th, but after a while you get used to it.Think of it like this, in Elementary all you had besides those boring subjects (sorry for those who like science and math, but I don't) you have only Music, PE and Art. But in Middle School you can choose to take those, or one of the other amazing options like Drama, Dance, 2D and 3D art, and so much more!Please leave questions if you have any!!I will be sure to answer them if they are relevant to Middle School!!
