Orchestra Memoirs

Seventh grade

Now seventh grade was extremely similar to sixth. Nothing much happened. But we had class every day as a whole group/orchestra. So this leads to more and more shenanigans. Sadly I don't remember every one. I probably tried to block them out of my mind because I was fed up with everyone in this class.

Now before I go into any main stories I should explain how the whole orchestra was set up.

We had about,

8 1st violins

11 2nd violins

3 violas

2 basses

7 cellos.

Not the exact number of people, but hey I'm trying. Anyways, the 1st violins, cellos, and violas had the reputation of being amazing and really good. Even though the first violins weren't that great. We were okay at best. The 1st and second chair mostly got all the credit for being good. 

Now for the Basses, one was really good and one was okay most of the time when he wasn't messing around and doing something stupid. He played electric bass and focused more on that at home instead of practicing he regular bass. 

Now the 2nd violins... Some were good. But take those very very very very small few and put them with horrible, horrible  players who never practiced, didn't even play, can't read sheet music, don't pay attention, and don't care in the slightest.

I'll let you think about that for a second.

I'm not trying to be rude. Trust me I'm the farthest from a rude person. But It's true. All the 2nd violins will agree. But that was most of our orchestra. Mostly because after sixth grade nearly half (okay more than half) of the orchestra left because they had more classes and because they hated it. Yay!

The best part about orchestra was whenever we would play and  our teacher would "try" to be nice and say

"You guys have really improved!" with a smile on her face.

Yeah no we sucked ass.

So I know this isn't much for 7th but just you wait until I post the seemingly never-ending series of 8th-grade stories.
