My Thursday by Tommy Werking

In band we learned the G scale on our violins. I figured out that in class I had a little piece on my violin that you can blow in to. When you blow on it, it makes the A sound. We all played "Rocking Fiddles" and we played along with the piano. I felt more understanding with the beat of the piano when we were playing along with the whole band and the piano. Most of us were taking different sets of the song. I took the middle part of the song and Keara took the first and Josh took the last. When I was playing I got the hiccups and started hiccupping in the middle of the song so I couldn't hit the right notes. I started holding my breath and then I had to sneeze. When I sneezed my bow hit me in the face and then Josh started asking me if I was ok and when I answered him I was holding my nose because I had to sneeze again. He continued playing but then his bow hit my violin so it made a really weird sound. When my hiccups came back, I kept on hiccupping and my chin rest kept on hitting me in the neck so I started rubbing my neck at the end of instrumental music. That was my Thursday this week!

Fridays by: Lucas Godhard

I like Fridays because I Don't have any homework and I can play video games. And at Bart I can play outside for the whole day.
