BubbleShare: Share photos - Thanksgivingtime!

Yesterday, Friday, I had my first region band try out. I worked really hard on the music, but still I got nervous really bad! I was in the A group. We had to play our xylophone piece first. I was glad because I knew all the notes and even memorized it. I played just well; I only missed one note on the song! Then we had to go to another room for the snare drum try out. I did pretty well on the snare drum too! I rolled good and I successfully showed the dynamics! When the results came out, I was crying because I was the second chair on the sheet!! Some of my friends cried too, but it was different. They were crying because they did not make it. I felt so bad for them. They worked so hard on their music. By the time I got home, it was 10:00.
The next day, we were racing for what chair are you and what band are you going to be. Either is Symphonic Band, Concert Band, or District Band. We had to play snare drum, xylophone, and timpani. I played really good on those instruments. When they put the results on, I was shocked because I could not believe I was the first chair in the Symphonic Band! My friends ran in to me and hugged me. They were glad that I made it. Those people who made the other chairs in other school were very surprised because they didn’t know that I was in sixth grade. They came and gave me some high fives.
接著由老媽來解釋：就在田昕獲得如此殊榮時，其實當爸媽的我們還搞不清狀況，後來經其他華人家長解釋才知道：我們這區共九所國中的樂團資優生都要參加一年一度的全區能力考試，除了是個人的榮譽，也是各校較量的機會，大家無不卯足全力。而打擊部分共九十位參賽，第一天錄取二十個人，這些人才有資格參加隔日排名考試，考試的項目有小鼓、木琴，還有定音鼓，結果田昕以六年級的身分獲得第一名，在場引起很大轟動，學校所有參賽者及老師都為她喝彩！大家說Cindy可能是創下空前絕後的記錄。田昕的學校拿到兩個首席，而他就是其中之一，這不但是學校之光，也是華人之光！現在除了王建民，還要再加上田雨昕！
