On June 19, 2015 I graduated middle school. When I got there for graduation I got my honor cord for being in the National Junior Honors Society, which to qualify your grades have to average a 90% or higher in both seventh and eighth grade, my average was higher! 

My school orchestra played Alexander’s Rag Time Band composed by Irving Berlin. That particularly was not my favorite piece I have performed but, it was not the worst. There were definitely many things that showcased how talented we all are. Those things include shifting to fourth position, swinging the eighth notes, and tempo changes.

The school band performed a piece too. I enjoyed their performance very much. They had used the dynamic markings very well. I could tell they spent a long time perfecting the song.

Our school chorus performed the piece For Good from the musical Wicked. The soloist did a wonderful job. It was definitely a great song choice for a graduation.

I am so excited I graduated! I can’t wait for my summer camps to begin. I also can’t wait to start high school orchestra and for my youth orchestras to start up again.

Until next time….Angelina
