TSO


    Today I went to the Roy Thompson Hall to watch the TSO (Toronto Symphony Band). Because the trip to Toronto took a while, the concert took a while longer and the trip back took a while, we got to miss school altogether! No learning done today!!  So heres basically how the trip went:

-               Go to another classroom. (Because they had more students in band than us.)
  • -               Leave school at 9:45(The buses took their sweet time.)
  • -               Got to Roy Thompson Hall around 10:50
  • -               We’re ushered as quickly as possible inside the theater 11:00
  • -               Concert starts
  • -               Concert ends 12:00
  • -               We get back to school 1:30
  • -               Eat lunch 1:40
  • -               Go home 2:10


    All right then here is all that in paragraph form. I would write more but I gots some homework.

    I woke up at 6:00, since I didn’t have any homework (I was practically skipping school…). After going through the usual morning routine which everyone has grown too tired of hearing anyway, I went to school. Five minutes into the morning and me and my band friends had been called over to different rooms. After switching classrooms and resting around for a while we were called down for the bus. We got the luxury of sitting in an unmoving bus for a whole 15 minutes while teachers waited for other teachers to wait for other teachers to apparently sort everything out. After a 45-minute bus drive we finally arrived at Ray Thompson. Everything there was very well artictechtury…. Anyway we where quickly ushered into a tiny hallway that led to a GIGANTIC room.  It was the actual hall itself. We saw tons of cool stuff like old people hitting garbage cans at unbelievable speeds and unbelievable accuracy. People so deeply into the music that their entire body moved whilst playing a note. It was very interesting to watch. After about eight pieces we got to leave which my legs were thankful for. After we finally reached the school at around 1:30 my stomach didn’t complain at all about the food. That chicken sandwich was blessed!  After watching about thirty minutes of tangled we got to go home.


    Any way, hope you didn’t really enjoy reading that, I didn’t totally enjoy writing that…. Well gotta get back to my other homework, YAY!!(note sarcasm).
