But the quiz was as such because there was like 30 kids in the classroom. And he'd go down the line. He'd ask one question. And if you got it right, you passed. If you got it wrong, you failed.

And she said, anybody interested in joining the band, report to the band room immediately. And I'm like, oh, my goodness gracious. I raised my hand. Of course, everybody else raised their hand, too.

You know, the band director, Mr. Birkeland, you know, he started out, you know, introducing different instruments and saying different things. And then he asked, you know, you know, he went row by row asking, what do you want to play? Well, I already knew what I wanted to play because the flute was so sleek and so silver and so beautiful. But the girl in front of me, she said the flute.
