This week in English class we were introduced to Me and Orson Wells. My week was not very exciting until Friday. This weekend state band contest we happening, states are held every year at Gahanna. Blue and Gold band performed on Friday and the freshman band performed on Saturday. In band there are different classes of music. They are AA, A, B, C, and D. The freshman band is class C, Blue is Class B, and Gold is AA. I am in Gold band. Blue band was the first to perform. The Gold band people watched the Blue band and I thought that they did well. After that it was our turn to perform. We did alright and then went to sight reading. At sight reading we did rather well. The piece we sight read was called Mystic Portal. I think that is a pretty neat name. After that we went to the cafeteria to wait for the rating. Blue band got a final rating of a 1 and Gold got the same. It was a really big relief for all of us. That 1 makes it 25 years of straight 1s for gold band. I was glad that I was not in that band that broke the streak. 24 years of work down the drain would be a big disappointment. No one was more relieved than Mr. C. He lived up to the standard that Mr. Shell had when he left. I think he did more than Shell would have done. This year we changed all 3 of our songs this year. Last year we changed 1 I think. I was really happy for Mr. C. all of his hard work paid off. He was also really happy for us. All of us at Gahanna were happy that day and it was a great feeling. A feeling that keeps me in band.
