Learning music and joining band is a great experience to have, everyone in the band learns to play with each other and just have lots of fun! It may cost some hard work but it's all worth it when you meet tons of new friends that enjoy music :3 No one gets mad if you mess up, because everyone's friends in band, and they'll help you! :>

Orchestra is really fun. Even if it is a pain to practice in the end it is 100% worth it because you will feel proud of yourself, and there will be many people amazed by your talent, and will be proud of what you can do!

Playing an instrument is always hard but orchestra is fun either way.

# data[].attributes.body
Orchestra is a really fun class and kind of feels like a break from the rest of the school day. It can be challenging and takes a lot of work, but it's really worth it when you're able to play some fun songs. It's also a fun way to make friends!

Orchestra is great for anyone who likes music - and you get to play with your friends.

Band is always a really fun way to interact with others. You can learn an instrument and play your favorite songs! Get your parents off your back when they egg you about an elective! Plus, playing an instrument is proved to be good for your brain, as well as being a great way to (productively) use up extra time.

# data[].attributes.body
Band is a great elective because it is super fun and many people can help if you mess up.

Band is an awesome choice for your elective next year because it's fun to play and share your interests with your friends. You will also learn about great composers and musicians!

# data[].attributes.body
You should join band because although it takes a little bit of time to practice and learn to play your instrument, it is extremely fun. Personally, my favorite part about band was being able to play as an entire band. It is cool to be a part of something that sounds great (might not sound so great at first but eventually it will).

# data[].attributes.body
You should take band cause it is really fun to play in one big classroom with others, and when the music comes together, it sounds amazing. TBH it will require some practice and time, but after that, you wont regret joining band. :)

The songs are all so great and have an amazing flow and rhythm to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Band is a great elective to take next year because you can play songs with others, make new friends, and getting good grades in the class is pretty easy considering most of your grade is based on participation and playing assignments. Overall band is a fun elective that you won't regret joining :) , but is slightly harder if you are learning a new instrument as the class is fast paced.

# data[].attributes.body
In band,, It will feel like you are the rulers and everything, but your music is loud and really good! Thats why I recomend to join Band. There are so many amazing pieces!!

# data[].attributes.body
Join or give me all your lunch money.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a great way to bond with people, and usually is pretty informal so memes. Just don't be a flute. Like 30 people have you covered.

# data[].attributes.body
If your on the fence about joining band, let me give you a piece of well needed advice: Do it. You know you want to. Even if you don't think you want to, you do.

# data[].attributes.body
If you ever get the chance to join band, that will be the best decision ever. Trust me.

# data[].attributes.body
Band is great

# data[].attributes.body
Band Is very fun and extremely engaging. You can also play songs with friends (because there is only 1 band class). At beginning, it is quite difficult to learn a song, but later it gets better.

# data[].attributes.body
Don't even think about not joining band next year. It is hard work and it is not as fun doing music virtually, but hey! it's something new and something we can learn to adapt and enjoy. Work hard and it'll be worth it in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though these are hard times, and i get that you think this stuff is too hard, but just stay! i bet you will learn way more, and have more fun

# data[].attributes.body
You should join next year because music is fun even in these hard times.

# data[].attributes.body
You should take music because you like playing your instrument, and it's lots of fun to play with other good musicians, making great music. You might say "but I didn't have much fun last year", but that's becaause you haven't experienced playing in the actual band. I can tell you, playiing with other people, in the room with them, at the same time, is loads more fun than playing into your computer screen. So you should give it one more shot, and just see how it treats you.

# data[].attributes.body
You should definitely  join band next year because you get to play challenging pieces from various composers and learn so many new techniques.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though you may not be having as much fun as you would if we were actually in school. I still really enjoy it. Just think of the fun times when we play class among us. And think of what you can do next year!

# data[].attributes.body
Music Isn't something you do or don't do, it's there with you on every step of your life. It's kind of like food, you want it sometimes, and other times you don't. I know that distance learning has made it hard for everyone and you, sixth graders especially to enjoy music, but believe me, it gets better as you go along. The more you play it the more you enjoy it and feel connected to it. So join band next year, and the years after as well. Also remember, once a band kid, always a band kid. :)

Orchestra is so fun, although we are doing it through Zoom at this moment. It's fun and cool being able to play an instrument and learn more about how to play.

# data[].attributes.body
Playing in band is lots of fun, and you get to learn a bunch of different songs. It can be boring and difficult while doing it through distance learning, but it's still a really good experience. There is also a possibility that we are going to get back to in-person learning soon, so just hang in there! :)

# data[].attributes.body
Band is a really fun elective to choose. YOu should definitely join band or even come again to band as it is super fun. It may be hard at times to learn the instrument or to get that high note, but you will have friends and a great teacher to help you

# data[].attributes.body
Music from home is just not fun. Everyone knows that. But if you haven't had in-person music class, you don't know how fun it can be. I'm not going to say it's easy - because it's not. It's not easy to learn how to play an instrument. But that doesn't mean it's not fun. "Hard" doesn't mean "not fun."
Yes, maybe you feel like music just isn't your thing. But if you haven't had a real, in-person music class, you can't know that for sure. Stick with music for another year to know.

# data[].attributes.body
you should join next year because its pretty fun to play with other people and make new friends. its also a pretty easy grade just participate and practice on what you think is the hardest part. the band room can get pretty loud but its really fun to goof around with the people in the band room. Ms. Starnes is a great teacher, shes very caring and understanding so please dont make her stress so much like we did to Mr. Pickard lol. Just do your best and practiceeeee you cant get better if you dont practice. some songs are gonna look pretty hard but those are gonna be the best songs ever i promiseeeeeee. band is gonna get harder when u start going into 7th and 8th but look at the bright side you get way better and you can flex on ur friends haha. hope yall join next year. - random 8th grader

Hello. I'm not gonna lie- you're gonna regret joining orchestra a lot of times. But the times that you enjoy it make it worth it. There are times you're going to wish you'd never joined, that you hadn't stuck with it, that you chose something else, but when you're teaching a sibling, or goofing off with a friend, or you're just having fun in class,  you won't regret it. In fact, you'll probably wonder why you ever did!
Music is so fun. It's being a part of something. It's understanding someone else's thoughts on paper. And it's such a great experience, even if you quit early on (which I wouldn't recommend.  Tbh I didn't really like it at first either, but it gets a lot better.)

# data[].attributes.body
Orchestra is a whole lot of fun, and its a great experience where you can play with others and learn new things. Music is a special thing, so don't ever let go of it :)

# data[].attributes.body
During these times, it may not be fun due to everything being online, but give it another chance next year when we might come back to school, and that is when the fun begins.

Though orchestra may not seem fun, it is a very fun elective. I would highly recommend continuing it.

If you're unsure of joining music next year I assure you it will be fun. There are more advanced techniques and music theory!

# data[].attributes.body
Music is A LOT of fun and I highly encourage all of you to stay and opt music as one of your classes! Music is not just songs being played on instruments, it is sort of like a team to make friends and learn what it is like to play music with others!

# data[].attributes.body
Stick with Orchestra all the way. If you practice enough, it could become a lifetime interest!

# data[].attributes.body
Doing orchestra in music is really fun, especially in middle school. You get to advance really quickly and learn a lot more advanced techniques. In 6th grade, we mostly focused on the basics because a lot of people were new to it, but in 7th grade, you get closer with your classmates and it is super fun.
