Reflecting time

This week I had a shorter week than usual due to being in Christchurch on Monday but the rest of my week was very smooth. Nothing out of the ordinary really happened but I did find Tech Arts to be very interesting. We had been exploring and identifying different music genres again but this time we got to make a twelve bar rhythm blues which was really fun and hysteric to do. We also learnt an African-American song with percussion in it. we did not use drums though, instead we used our hands. It was really hard to carry on the beat because everyone had done a different part in the songs and you couldn't get the same thing going for ages because it sounded out of beat. 
I remember in my last post I stated I was going to write a better blog post than the last one so I am going to do a more in depth piece now. I know it was a few days due but I had been currently occupied with other assignments. So now is probably the best time to write about it. 
Well during the course of two days, we had a music camp/ workshop. There was a drum line and the choir performing in addition to the beginner band and senior band. Lots of tutors came from each school to help us perfect a few pieces for Thursday night when we performed them. Most the students from other schools did not have their music so there was a lot of commotion around that. Eventually we had a successful night until the drummers lost their music.
Well that is all I can really say about the evening so until next week so long.
