Band: A group of musicians that play together.
Ever since I was young, I wanted to be a member of the band. I watched my sister march on football fields and watch her high school win the title of State Champions. Ever since then, I wanted to do that exact same thing. To play music for hundreds to hear, while giving my school a good reputation. In sixth grade, I signed up for band, and began to learn the trumpet. I play in the eighth grade band now, but the desire to go on to high school band and march, is gone. I did not sign up for it and do not intend to change that. Today in band, we had new music on our chair, which happened to be music for next marching season. We were told by the high school band director that we would play this piece with the high school band in our last concert. The music wasn't as hard as I expected it to be, which surprised me, and I really like the music too. It started to make me think.
Did I really want to not do band? It really made me think about. Those sneaky band directors. Even though I thought about it today, I stick by my decision to not continue in band. Maybe my sisters right, Maybe I don't want to continue because I'm not willing to put forth the effort.
Oh well.
Don't think I don't have a plan though! Just because I'm not going to be in band doesn't mean I'm not going to play it. And I have decided that once the school years over, I'll work on guitar move. My poor guitar, it sits in my room and only played for five minutes every so often. All I know is a couple cords, so I decided to learn more! Yay!
