The joy of making music

The Huntington Beach Independent went to Huntington Seacliff

Elementary School to ask band students, ‘What’s your favorite song to

play?’

“‘Hot Cross Buns’ because it’s fun and the notes are really easy

to play.”

HAYLEY MAYOL, 9

Baritone

“‘Mary Had a Little Lamb.’ It has the three simplest notes and the

beat is easy to follow.”

MEGAN

GILBERT, 10

Bassoon

“‘Saw Mill Creek’ because I like the rhythm and the notes. It’s

kind of fast and I just think it’s a cool song.”

MARK JOHNSTON, 10

Trumpet

“I like ‘The Early Bird March’ because it’s kind of fast. I like

playing the harder songs better.”

EMILY DAVIS, 10
