Open Evening Performance

It is a little late to be writing this post, but I felt that it is necessary. At Open evening, the BTEC Music class performed two songs as parents and students were settling into their seats - at the time we played, the majority of people coming were settled. Six of us began by performing Creedence Clearwater Revival's very popular song: 'Fortunate Son'. This piece was played amazingly by all, and I believe it was enjoyed by the audience. There were a few errors in the song, of course. I made an error during the guitar solo, which was one I wrote for the piece as the original Instrumental in the piece wasn't as exciting. Also - Emily, who was singing, forgot the lyrics to one verse but quickly fixed it by singing the first verse again confidently and putting on a smile, no one could have known!

The piece concluded with a loud drum and guitar clash before Lewis swiftly started playing the Intro to 'Chelsea Dagger' by The Fratellis. The piece went well, I couldn't hear any mistakes, although I believe the two keyboards played the same chord throughout the entire piece...

The two performances went well, better than expected. Fortunate Son went surprisingly well considering we had started learning it the day before the open evening, it felt successful. If we did it again in future, I wouldn't change a thing, it worked perfectly the way we did it - maybe something could be done about the Keyboards.
