Summer!

Even though school is out for the summer and there aren't any assignments to blog about, I thought why not just do a blog anyway? I mean its good practice and it gives a good excuse to not be bored. Each week I will do my best to write about what is going on during the summer.

For starters, I have gone to Six Flags twice already. It is a once a week thing and it's great! Each time that I have gone there has been close to noone! To make that clearer, I would walk up to the ride and get on the ride as soon as the gates opened for the next turn. That happened at every ride. Awefully unusual for the summer, but great for people like me!

Band has also filled up the summer. The fifth of June was the first day of masterclasses. Basically to explain this, it is a class where band kids of the same section get together to learn music, play their instrument, and learn to march. The frenchhorn section has an extra thing to learn; we have to learn or re-learn how to play with a melophone (marching frenchhorn). Usually, frenchhorn players use the left hand to push down the keys. In marching band, however, us frenchhorn players must learn to play with our right hand. This is a sort of difficult task, especially when we are so used to playing with the left hand.

Next week will be an add on. So far this summer has been a great introduction to Senior year.
