I was in sixth grade when I first joined the band in school. My first instrument was the trombone. When I was in the seventh grade I started playing the cymbals. I want to get better at playing the trombone by practicing and being in the school band. When I practice my trombone, I have to make sure the slide is working right. Every month I have to put slide oil on it. and this keeps the trombone from getting stuck while you are playing. You need to practice every day so you can get better. You need to do breathing exercises so that you can breathe better and it relaxes your muscles so you can play better. If you practice you won’t get left behind. In band we play music over and over. We are going to play at the Veteran’s Day
