Script:
School Band Auditions Symphonic Echoes, the school band - performances at school
events and competitions
Represent the school and engage in community bonding! Rehearsals: Tuesdays and
Thursdays, 4pm to 6pm.
Girl 1: Do you know about the school band? We perform in various events and it's a
wonderful chance to build our musical skills.
Boy 3: The school band? That sounds intriguing. What does it involve?
Girl 1: Well, we play a range of instruments and work together to create beautiful music. It’s
not just fun, but it's also intellectually stimulating. You learn to read music, improve your
coordination, and develop a sense of rhythm.
Boy 3: That sounds like a serious commitment.
Girl 1: It is, but we have different sections for all levels - from novice to expert. You start in a
place where you feel comfortable and gradually progress. It’s structured so that everyone
can grow at their own pace.
Girl 1: Being part of the band also cultivates discipline, teamwork, and can boost your
academic performance. Music has such broad benefits! Boy 3: What's the next step if I want
to join?
Girl 1: It’s straightforward - just fill out the interest form with your details, select your
preferred instrument, and come to the tryouts next Friday in the music room.
Boy 3: Thanks for explaining. I'll think about it and maybe I’ll see if my roommate is
interested too. How does he join? Girl 1: Just bring him along to the tryouts. We welcome
everyone interested in music.
