Dear 3rd grader, I am in band and I play the Clarinet. I LOVE being in band because I get to play all these cool songs that I've never heard before, some songs you play in band might become your favorite song. Every few days when you go to band, you'll get better at your songs and instrument, and you might be getting compliments from your peers! I think you should choose from a Woodwind instrument because it is easier, you don't have to keep constantly buzzing your lips.Sincerely,Oliver

Dear third grader,
I am so happy your here and I hope you like band because well, you can learn cool notes, play some songs with everybody, go to a concert and get belts everyday when you learned your first song! I think you will like it because when it was my first day doing band, I was kinda nervous. BUT I got used to it and started to know what to do. then when there were concerts which means you have to play for everybody. But don't get scared, just calm down and breathe! I can't wait til you play band, I hope you have a great time!

Dear third grader: I am in the band at Columbus and I play baritone. Being in the band is awesome! You get to learn a new instrument , you get to challange yourself by playing new songs, and it also helps your brain grow. I think the baritone is the best instrument i the band because you get a nice low (but not to low) sound. And, there is three vaules you push down on.The baritone is is easy to learn, hard to master! that is pretty much all I have to say. I wish you luck in your future band class, and I hope you have a great time!Sincerely, Massimo.

Dear third grader,YOU SHOULD 100% TOTALLY JOIN BAND!!!It would be a mistake not to play band when you go into forth grade. I play clarinet and it is so so so much fun. I can play smooth soothing music, intense action packed music, or anything else really! You can play with your friends have amazing teachers and best of all making outstanding music. If you enjoyed playing the recorder and think that you got the hang of it pretty well then you should totally move into playing the clarinet. It is a easy transition because the instruments are quite similar except for the fact that you can play more songs and notes. Additionally you can put on mini performance for family and friends as gifts but we do get to have a winter and spring recital too. So, I can not hypnotize you to play band but I will tell you that it is definitely a good choice TO DO band.Sincerely, Chloe

Dear Third Grader,I am in the Columbus Band and I play a bass clarinet. Band is a way to create different sounds and music! It’s lots of fun and we can all learn new things. Everyone gets the chance to play a instrument. I play a woodwind instrument. When you get into band, you see lots of cool and different instruments. The best part of band is that we are all learning together and having fun! Band is a way to show people your creativity! When you get into fifth grade, you get new, fun instruments. For example, if you want to play a bass clarinet, like me, you can start playing a clarinet! A few new instruments that you will see when you get into fifth grade are bass clarinets, percussion, French horns, tubas, and many more cool instruments. Another fun thing we do are clubs for band. Two clubs I do are called honor band and clarinet club. There are many other clubs that are perfect for everyone to try. Band is so much fun and is a really fun thing to try! I’m sure many of you would have a fu; time exploring your fun instruments.Sincerely,Valerie Rufo

Dear third grader.
I am in the fifth grade band at Columbus, and I play the Alto Saxophone. I know band might seem like a waste of time, just a pile of extra work, but that is really not true. It is sort of like having extra gym or recess. You can take a little bit of time off to give your brain a break, and have fun with every one else in the band. All the instruments have lots of their good qualities, but I chose the Alto saxophone for a reason. First of all, you don't need to do all of that extra work on high notes. It is simple, just put your fingers where you are supposed to and blow. Okay sure, it is a little bit more complicated than that, but you get the point. The saxophone might seem like a complicated instrument, all these valves and keys. Although, when you play it doesn't seem that way at all. The band teachers try to make band as fun as possible, with all of these things from Band Karate Belts, to special songs for the time of year. Now that you know a little bit about band, you should go and decide if and what you are going to play! Have fun, and stay safe! We can get through this!
Sincerely,
Connor
