Orchestra

I love orchestra...yesterday in orchestra we had so much fun! If you stick 40 kids + 40 instruments, you have a large sometimes annoying orhestraing sound. Now stick an hour long lunch, the last period of the day, plus the very fact that it's Friday, plus the orginal equation, and you get very organized chaos! Which is exactly what happened on Friday in orchestra. It all started out as a mutual idea that we should play as loud and out of tune as possible. Then we started switching instruments between us as the teacher's back was tuned. Finally the teacher seemed to get the class under control. And you all have to know that Ms. P. the orchestra teacher is freaking awesome, then started us on our favorite song, St. Paul's Suite. In St. Paul's there are lots of solos, and Ms. P. often says to us to 'sing' the song, usually she means to play more...whatever the piece calls for. Yesterday we took it literally and we all started singing the movements. Well expect Ashlee and I who sat there laughing our heads off! Laughter truly is the best medicine!
