Hi again. Sorry that I haven’t been posting in awhile. So lets cut to the chase, I’m going to tell you about 5th grade band. Personally I think flute is the best, but mostly because that’s the instrument that I play. I started band on October 14, 2014. And my concert is on May 5, or 6. When I first started to play the flute, it was super hard to make a noise out of and to read the notes without writing them in. But don’t quit, if you do you will be missing out on a whole lot. It is fun, and sometimes challenging. I sometimes bring a water bottle with me because my throat gets dry every once in a while. If you practice, almost everyday, playing your instrument is like learning to breathe. Some of you won’t want to do band because you have to wake up earlier, and you have to be at school around 7:15. I get up at 6 o’clock everyday, but it might be different for all of you. In 5th grade band you get to choose between these instruments,  flute, percussion (which is the bells and drum pads), trumpet, trombone, saxophone, or the clarinet. For the flute you have to form the word “to” in your mouth and blow. If you pick to play the flute, don’t stress if you can’t make a sound out of the instrument, it takes practice. It took me about at least 4 or 5 band practices to start to get the right angle and blow the right way. It’s hard, but don’t give up. Comment below what instrument you might want to play in 5th grade.
