Week 5

Monday

Today we performed to each other the colour songs we are doing for the upcoming performance. The reason why we performed today was to show to the other groups how we were progressing as a group and also to see how they were doing with their songs.
The 'Yellow' group was the first one to perform and they were good, but they needed to know what they were doing so they wouldn't get confused again but their song is getting better cause now they have drums and bass, then it was our turn the group 'Green' to play our song. After playing for the other groups , our teacher Charlie gave us some feedback he told Demver who was playing the synth to change it to strings and that the piano (Jacob is the one playing it) should take off the strings effect and leave it for the synth. Then the group 'Blue' performed and Charlie also gave them some feedback, they were good but the only thing was that the guy who's rapping in the song wasn't in today, so Caitlyn who was playing the keyboard and singing had to rap.
After performing to each other our teacher Chalie put us in different rooms so we could rehearse and make the song sounds better than before by doing some of the things he told us to do.

Wednesday

Today in the rehearsing lesson we had in the morning, our teacher asked us to play the cover songs we are doing which are 'Read all about' by Emili Sande, 'Hear shaped box' by Nirvana and the song 'Ordinary people' by John Legend. After playing them all, Charlie gave us some feedback and said some things that we could do to improve the songs and make it sounds better for the concert. And we also talked about the upcoming performance we are going to have on Monday and which song we are going to play first and which one is going to be the last one, and about our posture when we are on stage and try to show that we are enjoying being there and playing the songs.
In the after we had another rehearsing lesson and our teacher put us into different rooms so we could rehearse the colours songs we are doing and practice more the covers if we wanted.

Friday

On Friday we didn't have any rehearsal, but we had to perform in front of the Level 3 Music second year to show them what we were doing and how good we were, and in my opinion I think they liked it and one positive thing about us performing in front of them is that we were better than when we were than on the days we were rehearsing, but I think we rehearsed so many times that now we all know what to do and the songs sound very good with we all working together.
