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.
