I have been to every pep band game this year, I plan to be at all of the rest of them as well. I think that I deserve an A in pep band because of the commitment to be at all of the games, even though it is not that hard, I also played as loud and as good as I could. I think that I deserve this grade because I was one for the only second trumpets at a few of the games. I think that pep band is an important element in Newark Band because we are one of only a few that can do this and it gives a lot of motivation to the players. I also think that now people will remember Newark as the school with the band. This is also an important element because it gives the game some movement and could intimidate the other team. The pep band songs that are in my top three are, Party Rock, Queen, and Lady Gaga. I like these because they are a collection of small sections of different songs blended together, they also have many rests and different solos in each. The pep band songs that are my bottom three, are Beach boys #20, Frozen, and battlefield. These are hard to play and are either short or small and difficult to read. One place that I really improved on was in Party Rock the solo in measure 13 I used to not be able to play that but now I can play it really smoothly. I think that one of the songs that we should add to pep band is the Pacific Life Fight Song, I don't know the artist, but here's the link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E03D1PS3ypk.
