9/11 Reflection
I think our 9/11 performance went very well for only practicing for a short amount of time. It also helped having upperclassmen playing with us since they have more experience in high school band then we have.

What I struggle with most on scales is the key signature. I never know how to tell what the key signature is. The only key signature I know for sure is Concert Bb.
Relative major and minor scales share the same key signature. The 6th note of the major scale is the minor tonic
My first impression on Rejoice The Season. I didn't know some of my low notes, and I started off the song by playing the wrong song. The song was hard but I believe capable of doing.
Smart Music Scales Reflection
I don't remember my exact smart music scores, but I do know they were fairly high scores. I think I did pretty good overall on the scales. I did the scales a few different times to make sure I did get a high score on them and to beat my smart music goal. I am happy with my scores.
Pep Band Reflection
I think I performed 6 out of the 7 pep band games. I performed in as many volunteer ones as I could for the pizza and extra credit. I think I earned the 120, A+ that I have in the class because of the volunteer games I went to that other people didn't go to. Yes I believe pep band is important. I think the basketball team does enjoy having us there because my brother Evan who used to be in basketball here told me he always enjoyed the band playing at the games. I also believe pep band is good for us because it is extra practice outside of school. I enjoy playing the songs I really know well in pep band because it is fun. My top 3 pep band songs are land of 1000, 7 nation, and livin' on a prayer. These are my favorite because I can actually play these songs well with out getting lost in the middle of it. My bottom 3 is Lady Gaga, YMCA, and the stadium jams. Lady Gaga is just hard, YMCA is quarter notes the entire time, and the stadium jams are too short. Livin on a Prayer, first 8 measures I believe i improved greatly. I can actually play these songs well now without messing up. I think we should play and Bruno Mars songs.
