15.Eva Houston became a member of  Westside High School's marching band when she entered her freshman year in the fal l,but after sitting on the sidelines (边线) during the first two games of the season,she came home and told her parents that she wanted to get more involved.
The 14-year-old,who has played the trumpet (小号) since 5th grade,has cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) and uses a wheelchair,which makes it impossible to march like her band-mates.

3.The arts,especi ally music,should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level.Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience.They could improve their classroom skills,like paying attention and following directions.People develop all these skills when they learn music.Making music also lets children use their imagination.It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students,but also gives them something positive to do.In a music program,children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙).Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing themglued to a computer or TV screen.In a school band,students get to be part of a team.They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
