There are so many other quotes i need pages to write them


Mr.Moore standing tall
helping others
the overpowering sound
of talking
squeaking clarinets
the smell of lunch
lingering
in the
air
creak go the
stands
the cold touch of
metal
on my fingers as
I lift my flute
to my mouth
Whistle!
I've made my first
noise on my flute
at !:30 p.m.
O
who did that?
me, I squeak
Good job?
I changed in that one minute

free verse poetry--very well done! i like how you incorperate dialoge as well. i remember the moment you write of from when i was in sixthgrade band. i played the oboe, so my first sounds sounded like a dog worrying one of those sueaky duck toys, but i was surrounded by flutes for most of the time so i still got to enjoy that wonderful instrument.

I love your style with poetry! I've always wanted to play the flute, but I never got around to it. Anyway, this seems really realistic, and I can imagine every detail. I love it :)

i'm not sure about your high school, but i go to a pretty small one, and there are still a lot more options at that level. i know my friend (who plays the alto sax) is interested in drum corps stuff, and that's a LOT of brass (i'm no expert, but i'm pretty sure there aren't any saxophones in drum corps) so she's learning how to play the mellophone (the marching french horn, pretty much) and she's using the school's. two friends of mine who play flute had to learn a secondary instrument this past year for honors' band, and one used the school's trombone in jazz band, and the other used the school's tenor (since we have five tenors total between the three of us players that WE own, and the school has two other rentals, so there were plenty of extras). you should definitely look into it for next year, since you aren't yet in high school, and get on your director's good side because that would help, too, haha. my group of buddies are all our director's favorite group, haha. :)
