This trimester, I played the trumpet in my band rotation. In the beginning, I couldn’t even make a sound, but after I learned how to properly blow into the trumpet, I could start to play notes. We moved from basic things like Lovett Warmup #1 to Pirate’s Cave and Ole. We even learned how to play classics like London Bridge and This Old Man. I really enjoyed learning how to play the trumpet, and I think that you should too if you do band in the future.

Another fun thing that I did was at the beginning of the year, David and I did the electric house project. We made our house a mansion in the rich district of Cavtown. I managed to make an elevator in our house that could bring our residents to different floors. The elevator was made of a motor, a straw, a pencil, string, and cardboard. We connected the motor to the straw and pencil, and then used the string to make a pulley for the cardboard. The elevator took up most of our time, so we didn’t have any time for decorations, but the elevator was the main part of our house.
