Reflection
I really liked this project because it was really fun to do. One thing I thought was fun, was researching about the composer and arranger. Another thing that was cool about it was the smore website because it was really easy to use. One thing that I didn't really like about it was that not everybody got to play the song they wanted to play first so maybe next year their could bean extra song. Besides the songs I thought this project was really fun to do.
