Yay!! I just came home from school and I must go to
Cranston High School West because in music class, I practiced some songs along with
my friends, and I could finally perform it! I put on my favorite dress and I
arrived at the school 20 minutes later!!
I went into the room reserved for strings when I saw all
my best friends!! I decided to tune my instrument and went on stage and got in
my chair and began practicing! I was practicing the 6th song (Cannon in D) when
my friend Megan came!! we said hi to each other, and we began practicing right
away!!
We quieted down when we both saw Mrs. Burbay, our string teacher
walked on the stage. She said that we were going to play Hot Cross Buns!! We
played it and the audience was really impressed because we sounded good and
loud! We continued this for 6 more songs which was
Hot Cross Buns (traditional),
Ode to Joy (Ludwig van Beethoven),
Frere Jacques (French Folk Song),
Bile ‘Em Cabbage Down (American Fiddle Tune),
Lightly Row (traditional)
&
Cannon in D (adaptation)
When we finally got through all the songs, we got down
from the stage and we had to go to the strings room where we pack up. I saw my
mom on my way out and we stayed for the bands to play. Mr. Mazza (band teacher)
said that the strings have 89 students and the band has 72 students!!
When we were all seated, the band played 7 songs which
were all amazing!! The flute, trumpets and other instruments were all going together
very well!! The song that I liked most was Rolling Along!! When the band
finished, I said hi to most of my friends and me and my family went home and
had a celebration with red velvet cake and donuts at our favorite bakery!!
