Personal Narrative: Bored At School

168 Words1 Page

Have you ever been bored at school? I was. Until I joined band. Ever since I joined band, school has been slightly less boring. Once I was bored in school. Then, in 4th grade, the band director asked
“Does anyone want to join band?” I wanted to join band, but I didn’t know how to play any instruments. I went to the high school and tried out instruments. “What instrument do you want to try?” the band director asked. “I want to play trumpet,” I replied. “Ok.” The band director went and got a trumpet mouthpiece for me to try. If I could make a sound, he would assign me to play trumpet. I took the mouthpiece and tried to make a sound. It worked. “Ok you will play trumpet then,” he said and wrote my name under trumpet on the board.
