Players from each band even |‘ created new tunes right there on stage. It was exciting to ~~ watch ~ but even better when my band played on stage! We have a great jazz band at my school, but not everyone who wants to play in it gets accepted - only about half, in fact.

There are also trips to jazz summer camps across the country ~I've been to a couple and learnt a lot : Adults are often surprised that young people are getting interested in jazz. My music teacher thinks it's because pop music isn’t challenging enough for people like me who are serious about music. But [find it exciting because it’s both new and old at the same time ~ you can create your ‘own music, but you also feel you're part of its.history, as you're playing on stage in the same way as great jazz performers before you. My school's really lucky because we have great teachers, and parents who've supported us all the way. Without them, we'd never get anywhere with our music! 1. What is Katie trying to do in the text?
