A Look Through Musical Archives

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAEME BRENS AND PHILLIP MOBBERLEY!
I was supposed to have a late start this morning since it was Wednesday, but Mrs Faaea-Semeatu wanted me to come in to school early so I could have a look in Studio 3 for orchestral music that looked appealing. She told me yesterday that she would be in Room 81 before school because she had Professional Development, so I could grab the studio key from her then. When I arrived at school it was nearly 8:30am. I approached Room 81 and I saw the back of Mrs Faaea-Semeatu, but she was also with Ms Heath, Mr Shaw and another teacher. I felt anxious knocking on the door because I knew that I wasn’t even supposed to be there. But I knocked on the door anyway. Not suprisingly, the first reply I get is “go away, we have professional development!” from Ms Heath. I backed away from the door dumbfounded about what I was going to do next… Luckily for me, Mrs Faaea-Semeatu came to my rescue and gave me the key. Scary territory, I don’t want to have to go there again next time!

So off I went to the music department. I let myself into studio 3 and started to rummage around all the old-looking folders and music piles. At first I couldn’t find much, but then I realised all the band and orchestral music was lined up along the shelf at the back of the room. I started flicking through them all from one side to the other, and in the end the most interesting/playable pieces I could find included Candle in the Wind by Elton John, Theme from Carmen, Thunderbirds Theme and The Theme from A-Team. The newest music was probably The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers medley, but we played that piece in the orchestra back when Dr. James was at Rutherford (2004). I talked to Mrs Faaea-Semeatu later on in the day and I think we are going to go with Thunderbirds. Now the only thing left to do is find people to play in the orchestra!
