Yes, That's Us at the Valentine Concert!

On stage at the concert I felt honored to be there. Taylor and I went to the front and read what songs we were going to play, that’s when I was really nervous. But to me it was a big honor. The band concert was very thrilling. ...Maeve

Once I had to read the music because I hadn’t memorized it I figured out that I had the wrong book so I winged it the rest of the song.

The band concert was very thrilling.

But I felt better when I saw that I couldn’t see the audience very well. I figured that the audience could see me thoe. During the concert Cameron’s trumpet was blowing right in my ear. While Jake kept on making weird noises. I could tell that Chris was playing the wrong notes because he was right behind me. I am glad that I made it to the band concert.
