Now just to read the end of the first book start new moon start eclispe and buy the last book and read it oh and watch the films again ^^

chinese culture performance in the cultural cafe

The Chinese invaded the cultural cafe at Stratford upon avon college earlier today. The invasion wasn't one of aggression but an invasion showing what they do in their culture.

What they were doing today was singing, one was about achieving goals, being proud.  In the two songs a woman and the man who sung first both had amazing voices... even though they were singing in chinese. 

They were wearing their cultural clothes they were blue and red and gold the men were wearing flat around hats that were white and the females were wearing gold hats which had two point on either side... all their clothes were very detailed and decorated.

After the singing two men had to prove who were stronger by both taking hold of a stick and pushing each other and picking each other up, after that they got some of the audience involved, two men from the audience decided to have a go, one succeeded twice and the other failed.

The Yao came to the cultural cafe to show the college students what they do in their culture, they did a good show despite only being a trailer of the full show. The audience seemed to enjoy watching it as two guys got involved and everyone was applauding even when the performers forgot what they were doing, but at the end everyone was cheering and congratulating them.  So overall I think they achieved what they came here to do and that was to show the college students what they do in their culture.

The part which grabbed the audiences attention more was the two men who were performing the stick challenge.

The reason why is because it was very worrying when the one man lifted up the other man, must take a lot of muscle to keep grip of a stick and hold yourself up while the person at the bottom is holding you up. I think this because there was something to watch other than the performers stood there singing. So if you have liked the sound of this why not grab a ticket to go and see the full thing ? You never know there might be more action.

reveiw of a media event ....Hijack.19/09/10

This blog comes in two sections both put onto the same blog ... So here it is .

Saturday:Today i attended a music event called Hijack , Hijack is basically where you get into a group/band and create an original song made by you all ( lyrics and all ) then you record it .
Today we got into two groups of four and with the help of some local acoustic night preformers we began creating out song .Beginning with the lyrics ... maybe that wasn't the best idea ?.partly because we were constantly debating about what lines we should use what the song to be about .Eventually after 2 and a half hours roughly we finally had the lyics and began on the melodys for it .Well that was the easy part ,After the next two hours tweeking and adding it was 4o'clock and had to finish the day luckily we just finished in time then .
Sunday:The day of recording ,with 8 hours ahead of us we had alot to do ... or more the case of find things to pass the time while you wait for your turn to record ,first we started going over the 2 songs to remember them , next it was adding new things like mini riffs and solos ,watching everyone do their part was boring i couldnt wait to do my part . 7 hours had past of practicing , tweeking more lines and sitting there watching ,it was finally time to record ... i wasnt so excited now about recording , but after 3 attempts we had it nailed , with time to sit and relax .. Now all thats left to do it wait for the Cd :D
