Battle of the Bands Evaluation

BAND NAME: MONIKI !

1. The 1^st instrument I made was the xylophone with 5 different sized metal bars. I had a hard time making this instrument and when I finished I realized the sound that it made was not what I was looking for. So, that being said, we made a second xylophone, this time it was a water xylophone. We got 6 glass bottles and put 6 different measurements of water in each oh them. We hit it with metal spoons and the sound was great. The songs we chose were really cool. Jingle bells, the song you assigned, went really well. The third song, Rain Rain Go Away, was really cute, and Rudolph was very difficult. We practiced 2 times a week and finally got it down!

2. I think Mr. Tillay assigned a long-term project (10 weeks) to test all the students. I think he wanted us to use all 10 weeks to practice and to see who really did. I think he could tell in our presentation who actually practiced through the months and who practiced just once. I think Mr. Tillay wanted us to have enough time to also make instruments and to make multiple instruments because there are always technical difficulties. Thank goodness he gave us 10 weeks because my partner and I DID, indeed, face technical difficulties with our instruments.

Our band was called MoNiki and the instruments we made were the water xylophone and a tambourine .The water xylophone we put different measurements of water in them and the more water the bottle contain the deeper the pitch and since it was a solid sound could travel through it faster so it made a better sound quality .the songs we played were Jingle Bells, Rudolph the red nose reindeer, Rain Rain Go Away.

The sound quality I personally thought we were good and everything came out good. The way we showed person-ship is by wearing reindeer ears and a red nose and sang during our presentation. The way we went ABOVE AND BEYOND we made the whole class cupcakes and cookies and it made it fun. We also practice 2 times a week we really did work hard, but we didn’t know our songs weren’t long enough which we would have fixed but we did the best we could do.

WHY DID MR. T ASSIGN YOU A LONG TERM PROJECT (TEN WEEKS TIME)?

I personally believe the reason you gave us a long term project so we can practice and have enough time to develop our project and give us the right amount of time to get this drain stormed. The materials and be able to make it in time and at the same time practice to make sure we sound the best and you do it for us to achieve great accomplishments. Also It wasn’t a project you could have done in a couple of days without practice so I’m glad we got ten weeks to practice and get everything done.

In this half i have been doing much better than last i came in kind of late into the class but I'm catching up and trying to understand a little more than before ... i work really late thats why my blogs are later in the day than earlier i go to work in Fairfield to support me because my mom cant do it by herself . So i do a lot of things later in the day. my attendance is quit well i don't miss to much of school unless it is absolutely necessary , but I'm very tired but Niki keeps me going shes my best friend .After school i try to get some studying in for at least an hour before i go out to Fairfield.I dont come back until late but this is temporary until the lady i work for comes back . its been hard to have time to do all the homework i have and sleep and study but its something that i have to deal with. i will improve on more studying time and doing more homework and labs .
