At the band concert we played songs like hot cross buns. When we got done we all ran to the snack table they said not until after the concert. But James told me that he got a cookie so he gave me one but after I ate it he said he took a bite out of it. The high school played an awesome song called The Nutcracker. When James heard the ending getting fast he said the Nutcracker was coming. That night was so awesome. ~Carson

Yesterday, Dec 19, 2011 my class and I had a band concert at Onekama Consolidated School. My friends Katie and Chloe were scared and I was to. I was very scared when the curtens opened and every body was there. I played the flute with Hope, Haily, Deeann ,and Jodi. The first song we played was "hot cross buns". The next song we played was "Ad d lune". I had to sneeze. It was very exciting.
