I was surprised

I was surprised that Mr. Ben was the one who wanted the percussionists to play for the YOG torch relay outside my school. I know it is because I asked Mr. Ben if I could change into my band uniform then he saided, " You are playing for the YOG torch relay? " I said "Ya" then he asked me how many people are playing then I said five are six of them are playing, then he said quickly go and change then he asked are you coming back? I said I need to change my shoes and socks. That is how I know Mr. Ben was the one who wanted us to play. But it sounds wierd while the people are running when we are playing the instruments, and the music sounds like some kind of Africa music.
