Band Assessment

Abstract Art Pictures Collection

I love music, so much. Music can change people, which is why I love it so much. Music is why I love BAND class so much.Yesterday, we had to go take our band assessment. I remember how nervous I was on the bus, as I was setting up my saxophone. The Dozier Band went into the high school, dead silent (for literally 4 hours straight). We went on that stage and did our best, and absolutely did amazing in the sight-reading room. When we finished, I was so relieved. As we waited for the bus to leave, I remember our band teacher coming onto the bus, so excited, telling us how we got straight ones! The best you can get! Everyone was screaming, and I was so happy for the rest of the day.

🎵💗Congratulations, Dozier Band! I'm so proud of us!💗🎵  

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Birthday Madness

Hello Again! Today I would like to tell you about my birthday! My birthday was a while ago, February 6th, to be exact. I turned thirteen, and I had a blast. Me and my friends went to Breakout Games, and we had to escape out of a casino. When tokens fell out of the slot machine, we all screamed and fell on the floor! We made it out, with seconds left! It was intense, but so much fun! We went back and ate cake, opened presents, and goofed around a bit.

With my family, we went to Outback. I got a spicy steak. When we got home, we opened my presents (thanks everyone for the gifts!) and ate cake. I got a white-chocolate raspberry cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. It was delicious!

That's all for today! Thanks for stopping by, and thanks to everyone who celebrated with me!

The Best Vanilla Cake I've Ever Had

Picture By: Zoë Clark

Have you ever eaten something, and just felt like saying, "Oh my goodness, this is the best thing I have ever had!"? That's what I said when I made this delicious vanilla cake with my friend, Allyson. We were planning on making a roll cake, but her oven was tilted, and half of it was burned (luckily, there was enough of it not burned for us to try it)! Here's the recipe! 🎂 

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar for 3-4 minutes, until thick and pale yellow. Beat in the water and vanilla. Beat in the flour, baking powder and salt, beating just until smooth.

Line a shallow rimmed baking sheet - about 10x15 inches - with parchment or foil, and if you use foil, butter it or spray it with nonstick spray. Pour in the batter and smooth it to fill the pan to every edge. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.
