Jazz band!!

Hi.

Actually... I took "JAZZ BAND AUDITION" last Friday.
I didn't say about that to my Japanese family, host family and so on.

First, I was gonna join JAZZ BAND and Symphonic band.
However, I thought if I join both of them, I have to go to practice three days in a week.(2 days= symphonic, 1 day= jazz)
It must be hard for me, so I gave up taking JAZZ BAND audition.
I really thought about that because I wanted to join both of them!
But I have to study... do my homework... I wanna go to church in the evening....
Actually, I asked my mom to give me good advice!
She wanted me to join both of them too.
Finally, she didn't give me good advice.hahaha
So I decided to take only symphonic band audition.

Last Thursday, I asked my music teacher about practices of Jazz and Symphonic.
She said, "Once a week for Jazz, and also once a week for symphonic"

...WHAT??....

Not 2 days for symphonic???

Okay, okay. I will take jazz band audition!!!
I signed up my name on the paper last Thursday to take it.
Then, I practised the music which I have to perform in front of teachers.
At lunchtime, I took jazz band audition!

I asked my friend, Alex, "Don't you take jazz band audition?"
She said, "I don't want to practice any instruments for jazz band"
She plays the euphonium, but it is not a jazz instrument.
I said, "You can play the piano! You can take jazz band audition!"
She said, "Yeah, but I have never tried jazz band music..."
"Okay, Alex.. I will try hard in jazz band without you..."

This Monday morning, I met Alex in the bus.
She said, "I will take jazz band audition!"
"What? What instrument??"
"PIANO!!!"
"What made you take jazz band audition!?"
"My parents want me to join jazz band, so I decided to take it. I practiced this weekend."

"Oh, I am so glad!"

She took jazz band audition this Tuesday.

Today was the announcement day.
Alex and I were a little nervous from morning.
We went to music room at lunchtime, and... we found our names!!!

We were so happy.

There are 2 groups of Jazz band.
Jazz A and Jazz B

I guess Jazz A is higher level than Jazz B.

Alex and I are in Jazz B.
Moreover, I am trumpet 1st!! Oh, my goodness...

I didn't expect to join Jazz A because I have to leave here in March.
If I am in Jazz A, it makes some troubles after I leave here.
So I don't care about that.

Today's after school, we had a meeting of symphonic band.
I thought my music teacher would explain about the audition.
However, she said, "Please set your instruments and let's play!"
So, no audition! Lucky!

In conclusion, I can join jazz band and symphonic band!
Were you surprised, mom?hahaha
