Saying Goodbye - Comments

Very emotionally charged. Very very good.

Why thank you! Honestly, no, I wouldn't have expected it of our class clown, but that's what makes it sweet. (:

To answer your question, yes, I'll be in band next year. I'll just miss my teacher - she's the only teacher I've had for all my middle school years, so I'm kind of attatched to her.

And as far as descriptions go, I was just afraid of going out on a tangent and detracting from the experience itself. I have a tendency to ramble, and I didn't want it to show in my writing. :cute:

Wow. Very, very good job. I have a lot to say about this! :)

Good For You!: I play the flute in band as well! I know how emotional it could be to leave band...when I left middle school for high school it was emotional, but I think you had more emotion. I love how you gave the speech; the words you used, like "squeak", were good, and it helped me picture the scene a lot better. I also like how the "class clown" made the poster; it was emotional and probably something you weren't expecting from someone who cracks jokes. I bet that teacher felt very proud of all of you during that concert. I'm glad that you played your heart out on the last songs; that's what I would've done in your shoes!

Critique: I would've liked it better if you explained your surroundings as well...I know you were on the stage at a concert, but how were other people feeling? Like how you explained your teacher's watery eyes, and the class clown...was anyone else sad?

Questions: Are you going to be in band next year, or is it just that you're going to miss your current band teacher? :)

Overall, great job! :)
