Whew.... Am I tired or what!

  Whew... Some orchesta pieces sure do make you tired. They are fun and antsy, but at THE END, your fingers are tied in one LARGE, GIGANTIC KNOT. Your bow has snowed  {ha ha ;-)  }
all over the place, and you are panting like a dog. The flutes just stare at you like "You just think you can't breathe!"  But these songs are fun, make you loose and flexible, and causes everyone to be friends.

  After going through most of the songs that we have for our performance, we started to run out of time.
  "Let's run through William Tell." Our conductor said.
  "Run through would be right!" I said
  "Hey, Autumn! Sprint through!" a cellist said.
  "Wait, no! FLY through."
  Well, while the orchestra was buzzing with that, my muscles were cramping up with the thought of William Tell, but as previously said, it was fun.
