Band Performance at the Assembly

Filippo Stopponi('11), Adrian Raguin('11), Camie Raguin('12) and I have decided to meet up and practice for several songs to perform at the assembly since like Mr.Coles, the Secondary Principal of the school, has mentioned earlier that school's going to have more performances during the assembly this year.

We thought this would be fun to do and a good practice. For me, for example, I have never played in a band, so I thought this would be a good experience. For Adrian and Filippo, they are in the school band, called 'What Happened?' but then there hasn't been much time to meet up and practice. So they were thirst for some goood music with goood people(like me ? :P)

So, my personal goal would be to learn the bass line of several new songs and so improve my personal skills at the end. Since this would be officially my first time playing in the band, I will need to collaborate with the other band members well, making harmony, not carcophony. To do so I will need to do a lot of practice !

We had the first practice today after school(Monday, 6th Sep, 2010)

So we thought of practicing several songs, having two guitars, Adrian and Skylor who hasn't showed up for the first practice that we had today afterschool today, Drum by Filippo, Vocal Camie and Bass guitar covering by me.

Filippo came up with the several songs to practice, and they are :

  • Polygraph, Right now - The Spill Canvas
  • Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • Soul to Squeeze(optional) - Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • The Great Escape - Boys like Girls
  • Higher - Creed

However, since Skylor didn't show up today, we ended up practicing one song from the list we've got and a new one, called Sitting, Waiting and Wishing by Jack Johnson. It went pretty well, I must say, and we decided to perform at the next week Assembly. We will still need some practice, but another two or three would be enough. :D

looking forward to this
