My first note was a good one as was the band’s. Another great note followed and another one. I nailed all of my notes, well for the first song at least. We played 3 songs that were all preformed very well. We hit most of our notes and I hoped we impressed the audience. I had a very good performance, but then came sight reading. I hate playing on mallets, it’s my least talented instrument. My band teacher assigned us instruments and my heart sank when she told me mallets. We practiced the song 2 times, but I was still unsure about how I would do. It was time to play and I knew I was going to mess up. I hit wrong notes throughout the song. My heart was gripped with fear as I hit each wrong note. Although I did terrible, the band did fairly well. I was terrified to hear what the judge would say. I was surprised to hear him say we had very nice sounds and we would do very well at UIL. So overall we had a good band performance.
