Ann wanted to play in the city orchestra (管弦乐队), but she was nervous (紧张的). She thought it might be too difficult. The first day she was so nervous, and she could hardly breathe. After a few rehearsals (排练), she could comfortably play along with everyone else. She found that there was no reason to be nervous and began to enjoy herself.
In rehearsals, Ann became friends with Danny. Danny sat next to her and always helped her. Ann often asked him questions about music. Danny’s parents were musicians. They started teaching Danny music when he was only five years old. Ann couldn’t imagine playing the violin at that age.
Ann’s another friend in the orchestra was Marie. After rehearsal, Marie would tell Ann funny stories. Though Marie was much older than Ann, the two became good friends.
The orchestra was rehearsing music for a concert. Ann invited some of her friends at school to come. Though they didn’t understand music, they promised to come. They all liked Ann and wanted to cheer her. Ann’s family also planned to go to the concert. Ann looked forward to the event, and she hoped it would not rain on the night of the concert.
On the night of the concert, Ann was excited. Danny and Marie both told her that the concert would be fun. Ann knew that she would enjoy it. The conductor (指挥) Mike was nervous.
