Okay. First off, I am a senior in the High School Band. So you're getting the answer from an expert. A decrescendo is where the music note is getting softer. So it would be like this.

___.

That line represents the note going to nothing. The pieces we play in band, sometimes at the end we decrescendo to nothing.

To add on to this:

Decrescendo is another word for diminuendo

It's root: Italian, from decrescere "to decrease"

Crescendo is just the opposite, to increase (that is in sound, etc.)
