Last year I was chosen to be 1 of 8 people to be Music Captain. Before these leadership positions were chosen you had to fill in a form for the leader you want to do. More than 30 students applied to be music captain.
Being a music captain has taught me many things including building the core capabilities, new instruments, and being a role model. In this position, I had to take time from class to prepare things so I had to manage my time and be organised.
One big thing that happens every year is the BMN ( Big Music Night) the BMN is a music night where all music ensembles, music groups (students who learn an instrument from school), and students who audition to do a music item. The BMN is the time where we as music captains have to be organised, manage time and not stress out. This was very nerve-racking for me as I wasn’t a person who likes to do public speaking especially in front of more than 500 people I don’t know. It was tough for me but I used my confidence and got through it.
During the time I was a Music Captain, as a group we collaborated and made a band, my music teacher taught me how to play the electric and bass guitar. I have learned so much from being a music captain and have used these new strengths and skills for high school.
