gotta love band

When I was in elementary school, one of my first good friends was Matthew Crafton. I don't remember how we became friends but I remember going over to his house and playing. On TV shows, a lot of the time they make it so little kids only have friends of the same gender as themselves. I don't remember it ever being that way.

Today was my first day of campus band. It was hot, let me tell you. The songs that my group, the 6pm group, is playing are Americans We by Henry Fillmore, First Suite in E-flat for Military Band by Gustav Holst, Scenes from "The Louvre" by Norman Dello Joio, Chorale Prelude: So Pure The Star by Vincent Persichetti, and one more that is on order. They weren't like insanely hard but they weren't a walk in the park either... at least for me, and there wasn't any "it's the first time through so let's take it slow" stuff, except (according to Alison) on the Dello Joio piece, although I sure couldn't tell. The Fillmore one is a march and it's pretty cool. I will probably like Chorale Prelude more once we play it better. First Suite was fairly fun and I liked it more than The Louvre. The two different campus bands are of equal abilities and Alison got second chair in one and Jenny got first chair in the other. I did not try-out and so you can probably guess where I am.

This one is short because I have much homework and many people are talking to me.
