Today started with a whole lot of noise - the Wellington percussion group STRIKE performed to the school. They began by imitating a tropical rainforest - ably helped by HNI and continued to entertain us with 'fire" music, drum solos from staff and students and original and creative pieces.
That wasn't the end for the Year 8's though.
Each class had an hour's workshop. As a group we learnt to perform an original piece. There were many rhythms to follow and sticks to watch but loads of fun! Well done to Molly - whose stick work we had to follow on several occasions!
