My Advanced Orchestra

    I know I had a few chances to tell you some things about my orchestra. Now I'm going to tell you almost everything about my orchestra. My advanced orchestra is made up of 13 violins, (6 in 1st, 7 in 2nd), 8 violas, 5 cellos, and 3 basses. Some of 2nd violins and violas are made up of 6th graders, just coming from beginning orchestra. I'm currently in 1st violin, but was in 2nd violin (with my friend, Michael H.). (We took a playing test, determining our seat placement.) When the 8th graders are gone next school year, I'll most likely be in 1st chair, when I'll be in 7th grade. Some people in beginning orchestra this year will move up to advanced orchestra. Mr. Miller, my orchestra teacher, is planning to move up a 5th grader and a few violinists. We also play at a high school level (I think a level C). John H. is 1st chair of 1st violin, and I'm in 5th chair. Mr. Miller is a cool and awesome orchestra teacher. He also teaches orchestra at another school. That's the school my best friend, Sid, goes to (he plays violin). We play (and have) the same pieces, and we practice sometimes (not as much as we used to). That is all I want to say for now. Please comment, if able. Thanks!

  2. I'm very sure I will get 1st chair, because most of 1st violin is 8th grade, and no 7th grader is better than me. :)
