Willy Wonka

In my school's play, Willy Wonka,  I decided I wanted to be in the pit orchestra. I was the first middle-schooler to participate in the pit orchestra; all of the others were either high-schoolers or adults. This is a video of one of the songs in the play. My friend, Becca, was the candyman.

The experience of being in a pit orchestra was amazing. It was more relaxed than I'd expected because it wasn't a huge problem if I made a mistake; people normally listen to the singing and do not appreciate the live background. I also got to know some of my band-mates for next year, when I'm in the high school band. It will be great to know people when I start attending the high school next September.
