Band Trouble

By Liz Chase 

In band, Mrs. Moncrief is having trouble with her students. So she is giving people with different parts of music to look over. Mrs. Moncrief will chose who she wants to stay in band. She is getting pretty upset because a lot of people don't take their instruments home or they don't practice.

The way Mrs. Moncrief is going to solve this problem is she is going to audition people to make sure they know their part and if they don't she will know who will not be in band or jazz band. Some people know their parts really well and she will probably tell those people to stay. Mrs. Moncrief can tell whether you practice by the way your sound.

Mrs. Moncrief likes when people practice so we all can be ready for the spring concert because she really excited for this concert. As I was saying

Mr. Anes is the high school band teacher for Conval and has been coming to jazz band to help us.

When she told him that a lot of us don't sound that good, he said to do warm ups. Mrs Moncrief said ,'' I want you all to do your best, and practice''. What happens is people just don't play their parts right like some of the trumpets they just guess their notes, or they just blow the wrong note out of their trumpets this also happens with the saxophone, Clarinet, drums and other sections. Also people are leaving their instruments here and Mrs. Moncrief isn't too happy with those people. She has been checking. She keeps telling us to take them and she marks them down in her grade book. People just don't listen to her and she doesn't like it.
