Music:

 In music we are asked to film/preform something weither that be a song or a beat of even advertising something. Izzy and I are going to do a day in our life as a Hornby High student but by 2 point of views. We are going to try and basically advertise Hornby High and why it is a good school to go to. We are going to be filming all over Hornby and even go some of our younger year students involved by interviewing them and asking them a bunch of questions. 

Music: Same Love performance - Lauren, Izzy and Kayla

 Same Love Performance:

What did we preform?

Lauren, Izzy and I did the song same love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

My rule was to play the first chorus on keyboard. Izzy did the start and ending while Lauren did the second chorus right after me. 

How did the performance go? 

I think it went pretty well considering that we had to quickly change up each rule. 

And when I went into this I was expecting the worse and thought I wouldn't be able to learn all the cords.

What was challenging about this task?

A challenging part for me was learning how to play with black keys as well and white at the same time but I picked it up pretty fast and well.

What did you enjoy about this task?

I enjoyed being able to pick our own song, a song I like and learn it. I would rather be able to pick a song then being assigned one.

Hamilton:

Hamilton:

What is Hamilton about?

Tells a story of american founding father Alexander Hamilton and what his life was about. 

What is the style of the show? (Music,set,costumes)

The show was pretty up beat and R&B like, its not at all like a normal musical it was faster and more entertaining in my view.  

Name a character that you liked (Who and why?)

I liked Alexander Hamilton because he was very down to earth and a very good rapper in the show. I also liked the way he stood up for himself and wanted to make sure his point was across.

What did you think?

I really enjoyed the show it was more entertaining than normal musicals. In my opinion I don't really enjoy watching musicals but this one was my style since it was more rapping then singing. It was also had a lot of meaning like the story behind it was very interesting.
