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. ]]> 2021-01-28 17:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1137673982 s169074 https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1137675790 Orchestra is so fun, although we are doing it through Zoom at this moment.

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.)]]> 2021-01-28 17:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1137687307 https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1137687623 Orchestra is a whole lot of fun, and its a great experience where you can play with others and learn new things.

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.

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]]> 2021-01-29 19:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142091734 https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142092177 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.]]> 2021-01-29 19:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142092177 s168955 https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142093098 Band is a really fun elective to choose.

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! :)]]> 2021-01-29 19:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142093129 s169325 https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142093301 You should definitely  join band next year because you get to play challenging pieces from various composers and learn so many new techniques.]]> 2021-01-29 19:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142093301 https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142093423 You should join next year because music is fun even in these hard times.]]> 2021-01-29 19:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142093423 https://padlet.com/kstarnes2/kq1wc4v3obib5qe5/wish/1142093531 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. :)

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.
