Students like taking band at SJHS for lots of different reasons. Some students like learning how to play new songs on their instruments. Other students think it’s fun and like playing instruments with their friends.

8th grader Kaylee Smyth said that something she likes to do is “To learn new pieces and see what it’s like when it all comes together all instruments combined.” Also, 8th grader Ashley Donahue said she liked it “When we learn new songs like right now we’re learning Star Wars.”

Did you know that learning the states can be fun and sweet?  That’s right!  In Mr. Shields class, there is a competition called the “Sweet 16,” also known as Around the World.  “The Sweet 16 competition is a game to help the students learn the name and location of all 50 states,” says Mr. Shields.  Mr. Shields says that this is how it works: “Two students stand up next to each other and I point at one of the states on a map and they yell out the name of the state as fast as they can.  Whoever says it first is the winner and they move on to the next person. We go through the whole class and whoever wins the most is the winner.
