Great job on your concert you guys! You really got the crowd into your music. EpicFaceManiac was swaying to the beat of the music which made me laugh. I really enjoyed the story "One" because I thought it had a meaningful quote at the very end which I loved. Super excited for play day tomorrow and I hope we do as well as the boys and do better than last year. (We got 2nd place last year.) Bye!

Well, I think the band concert was awesome and I loved all the songs. I also thought the name tags were also very creative! I think my favorite song was probably "Band Song" because I liked how all the band people shouted "Band Song" at the end. It made me jump when they all shouted it but I liked it. I think it was all full of energy.I think I liked the story of "One" because I think how they used numbers and colors because I think it really fit well with the story and all its events. I also liked how they used the "Red is hot, Blue is not" quotes because it did fit in with the warm and cold colors. But I think my favorite part was when "One" said "No!" because I liked the drama in it all. I think my favorite message was; " It takes only 'One' ", because it had a strong message to it and was kind of moving. I know, my last sentence was kind of cheesy, but still. Anyway, I'll say bye now see you tomorrow. See you all tomorrow! Bye!

I think our band concert was a huge success! I loved the last song lets go band even if it's played every year! One was my favorite play/story because they put the message " it only takes one person to stop bullying someone!" but they made one a number.

I thought the band performance was amazing, I thought everyone did a great job. I was shocked how you could do all those songs without messing up. I thought all the songs were great but I liked the song at the end when you pumped your arms in the air and said " let's go band." That's a tough one, I liked both story's but if I really had to pick I would have to pick the one colour story because it was creative how they did it and I thought that it's true that if just one person can stand up for someone it can make a big difference. Bye!

I think the rest of the band did really well! I liked 'One' because that book was a really creative idea, and the kids acted it out really well. I could barely see the plays from where I was sitting, though. Oh, well.

Thank you everyone for saying so many nice things about the band performance. I had fun playing the flute and I had a great time. I liked "One" the color story the best because it was funny and it was an original way of telling bullies to stop bullying people. I really liked it! Well, bye and see you guys tomorrow ! :)

Great job to everyone who participated in the band concert! You guys did a fabulous job! I can't believe how well you guys sounded! My favourite story was probably the "One" story because it showed a really 'cool' chain reaction of how one person can make a change. I thought it was really funny and some of the dialogues were really good. "Red is hot and Blue is not!" "Red may be hot (?) but Blue is cool!" I really liked that story. I liked the other one, too. Again, great job to all the band students! You guys rocked! Okay, bye!

I think the band did really well today, especially for their first performance! The songs were short but very well played! My favourite story was "One". I liked the book One because it showed standing up for others in a different story that really little kids would even understand. It was simple but really good! I like how they were talking about colours and then they added a number into the story who stood up for the colours. I also really liked "Little Bears Vision Quest" it was really cool how they acted the story out for both of them.

I loved the Band Concert! I think this Band Concert was awsome! I loved how they shouted 'go band' at the very last. I really want to join the band next year but sadly, I am not going to stay here next year. Honestly, I loved all the songs they'd played. The combination of all of those instruments were great! Band students, you did great, good, awsome, fantastic, amazing, and fabulous job! I like the book 'Little Bear's Vision Quest' becuase it can fix some of the kids attitude, and tells us that if you act bad to other kids or friends or whatever, you'll be alone one day. I actually like both of their story because both of them is a book tells us to not bully other person!

I thought the whole band did a fabulous job and we all played so well for our first concert! My favourite is 'Little Bears Vision Quest' because it was nice a relaxing how Grandfather I'm pretty sure solved this by sending Little bear to a quiet place to think about what hes done. I think that really helps when you need help to think what you've done wrong. See you all tomorrow! Absolutely nervous for girls playday tomorrow XD Hopefully we can top the first place this year!

The band did really good they must have practised a lot. I like the first story because it sends a better message than the second story.

I thought the band kids were awesome! They played really well together. And they sounded really in sync and I thought that was really cool. I really liked the colour story because I felt it had a really good meaning to it. It shows that you need to stand up to someone in order to be heard.

I really liked the band concert today because I could see they were really into it and the must of practiced a lot. I also wanted to say that the last song was my favourite. I liked the bear story because it showed that being a bully isn't fun, good, it's sad.

The band did really awesome today. I think that the band this year did better than the band last year. I liked 'Little Bears Vision Quest' because I really like stories with animals and survival in them. See you all today.
