阅读以下短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
Ann wanted to join the community orchestra(管弦乐队), but she felt very nervous. She worried the music would be too difficult for her. On her first day, she was so nervous that she could hardly tune her instrument. She had only played in her school orchestra before. After several rehearsals(排练), she played well with others, lost her nervousness and started to enjoy herself.
In the orchestra, Ann made two good friends. One was Danny, who sat beside her. He was helpful, and Ann often asked him questions about music. Danny began to learn music at five, and he told Ann many great musicians started learning music at a young age.
The other friend was Marie, who played the clarinet(单簧管). She liked telling Ann funny stories. As a child, Marie's clarinet made squeaky(吱吱响的) sounds, so she got the nickname "Squeaky". She played beautifully, and sometimes she made funny squeaks to make Ann laugh. Though Marie was much older, they became close friends.
The orchestra prepared for the spring concert. Ann loved many composers, especially Mozart. Though some of her friends were not huge fans of Mozart's works, they still promised to come. Her family would also attend. Ann hoped it would not rain on the concert night.
On the concert night, Ann felt excited. She had never played in front of so many people. Surprisingly, the experienced conductor, who had given concerts worldwide for 40 years, was also nervous. After the performance, he praised all orchestra members for their wonderful show, and Ann was already looking forward to the orchestra's next concert.
