Okay, I'm FINALLY getting around to this post. So, In my: "Starting School Post" I talked about making a seperate thread for school band, so, Here it is! Okay, so School Band. At my school there is a Beginner Band for 5th, 6th and 7th grade. There is Woodwind, Brass, and a little bit of Percussion. I've got to tell you, it is a class, and we do learn, but it is LOADS of fun. I play Bass Clarinet, and according to my Band Conductor, I'm pretty good at it, too. Today he said, and I quote: "Clarinets, you're getting better. And Lizzie, well you're like a can of sweet Clarinety Goodness." :) It feels nice to know that I do a good job.
So far, we''ve learned six of the seven notes we are most likely going to learn this year. We've made sure everyone understands how to read music, and we're starting to go from "just noise" to Music. I love expressing myself through music. I am a section leader, even though there are only two people in my section, including me. My section is Low Reeds.
Today, he let us listen to a little preview of our Christmas songs. First was just, you know, a song. The second one was "Jingle Bones" where the Trombones have a couple of solos and funny parts. Then, there is another song, and finally, he said if we can learn all those songs, we can learn an encore song. Are you ready? That's right, Dynamite. By Taio Cruz. How AWESOME is that? It sounded really cool and I really hope we get to do it. :) I have band three times a week, and one practice after school on Thursdays. I really love band and I am looking forward to learning lots of music this year!

Starting School!
Okay, So I started school about a month ago, and let me tell you, WOW. Okay, so lots of things going on for me this year... I have Tutoring, (My teacher who taught me last year asked me to tutor her students in Math) Enrichment, (I'll tell you what that is later,) School Band, (I'm going to make a seperate post about that) and the usual stuff. Class, Homework, and Friendships/ Social Life.
Okay, so first I'll tell you about tutoring. At open house, I stopped by to see my teacher from last year and I said Hi, and gave her BIG hug. She said: "Hey Lizzie! How you doing girl?" We talked about what we did over the summer, and she said: "Lizzie, would you like to tutor my kids?" So, I said: "....Sure, Why not?" so that's how that happened. Okay, so a lot of things this year at my school this year are different, the biggest change being a new building. But, one of the, I guess "Medium Changes" is Enrichment. Enrichment is a program with things like Drama Club, Photography club, Cheerleading Club, etc. It's from 3:15pm-3:55pm each day, and you get to choose your club. I'm excited for enrichment becuase I love to act and I am thinking about doing Theater. (Drama Club)
Now, The next thing, School Band, is a WHOLE other story, so I'll make a seperate post about that. The last thing I'm going to talk to you about today is Friendships. There is someone who I was friends with a couple years ago and had a very bad experience with them, But thankfully, the praying has paid off and Me and that person get along very well. I'm excited for this year, and I'm excited to learn this year. So make sure you do some learning yourself this year, whether it is in school, out of school, or both, and keep checking back for more posts. :)
