“So I’m in orchestra and dance, and I’m in orchestra because I like to play music. Also, you get to make really good friends, and you get to make a good bond with them because you both have a love for music and you get to stay with them for a long time. In orchestra, normally you take it from middle school to high school, and that’s a long time so that helps you make friends with the people in your orchestra. Also, the directors are great too because they want to help you grow and stuff, so they’re always there for you. Orchestra is kind of like a family because of how close you get over the years. I’m also taking dance and I’ve been taking it ever since I was three so like, eleven years. Yeah, that’s a really long time. But you also make good friends through that because you kind of, depending on what styles you take, will be with the same people every year. Like I’ve had the same teachers for a while now and they’re always really nice and funny. They make dance really fun. That’s why I keep doing it, because it’s really fun, it helps me release stress I get from school and everything, and I get to express myself.”
