Orchestra


By Hamster Spy - Posted on 30 November 2009

I would like to tell you a little story about how I am in orchestra and how we have a Christmas show every year. We play three songs, but the weird thing is they're not even Christmas songs. The first one is called Dragon Slayer, The second one is Wild Western Frontier, then the last one is Russian Music Box. Do you see what I mean? Nothing to do with Christmas at all. I think it is rather weird.

Then there are only like five people in my group of instruments. I play the voila. Everyone always calls it a violin, but its not. It sorta looks like one, but it is thicker and has a deeper sound. I can't stand it when that happens even my mom sometimes calls it a violin.

We have a music a ABC's. It is A B C D E F G then it just keeps repeating. It has four strings on it. I think it would be harder to play a wind instrument because you have to have really good lungs. But it is pretty easy to play a voila, or violin, or cello, and base, but not so easy to play a flute or trumpet, now is it? Just think about that next time you have the chance to play in the orchestra.

I played a viola but I quit because it started to get boring. I think it's a good instrument to play though. Good story. I liked that song "Dragon slayer!"
