Band Nerd

I am the first chair clarinet in my school band. We have a solo and ensamble event coming up on April 21 and I has 1 solo and 2 ensambles. It's a lot of fun but also a lot of work. I had a practice today and I have concluded that band nerds are by far the coolest people on the planet.
First we warmed up by playing a basic Space Oydessy 2001 type thing. Then we played March for Military Band by Beethoven and then The Death of Ase by Grieg and then I played my solo which is March by Bach.
For those of you who don't play an instrument, I highly suggest it. It's so much fun.

Power of the Pen- Regionals

I had my Regional competition for Power of the Pen today. I got 5th place overall, so I get to go to state! I'm pretty excited. I thought I did pretty well too.

The first prompt was Describe someone who you have nothing in common with. I wrote about a cat whose owners had a baby and he wasn't too happy about it. The second prompt was The Prize. Name one that isn't worth winning. I wrote about a girl who worked at a carnival and gave out crappy consolation prizes. The third prompt was The Letter. You weren't supposed to read it and the content is disturbing. I wrote about a girl who saw a letter from her dad even though her mom told her that her dad was dead. I'll be sure to post those soon. 

I'm really excited about going to state.
