The Music Trials (feat. Nick Blaemire)
by Max, age 8, New Jersey
One day, a kid named Jack woke up. He was excited. He was excited because he was old enough to go to the music trials. The music trials are when you have to play all the different instruments. Jack ran over to the trial houses. Then he started Trial 1, which is the percussion trial. Next, he went to the 2nd trial, which is strings. Then, he went to the 3rd trial: woodwinds. Then, he went to the 4th trial, which is brass. He got them all right! He was a music master!
