Inter-Intermediate Music Days A group of eight MIS
musicians travelled to Te Awamutu Intermediate Schoollast week for two days of music tutoring and perform-ing. They all had some drum experience then a lessonwith the Head of Music at Waikato University whosurprised them by teaching in bare feet and often with-out words which kept them on their toes, then a bandpractice with 80 other students. Even after the rstpractice it sounded awesome with solos from LeviFlinto and Jordyn Mellow. On the Friday they all sangwhich was something new for a couple of the studentsbut it was fun and they all enjoyed the experience.A performance for students and parents on the Fridayafternoon went well and we want to thank all theparents who provided transport over the two days.
Pulse 2011 Friday night saw our two Rock Bands,‘Surrounded’ and ‘Bullet Proof’ competing at Pulse.Wow, what an awesome experience to be on stagewith an audience of hundreds of screaming fans, strobelighting and celebrities oating around.
Both bands played well with Bullet Proof having their
original song nominated into the top three. ‘Big ups’ to
everyone and thanks to those who came to support us.
