Evening Neil - I was just saying I will be featuring your trumpet playing among others in our Battle of the Bands concert a week on Friday if you want to join us for that!
And if anyone wants to choose 2 favourite photos and email me for next week we will include that as normal.
In the meantime, a date for your diaries everyone, if you are free and stuck at home a week on Friday (26th) we are having a big virtual concert night at school, with our 2021 Battle of the Bands. Some of you helped out with the backing track for our version of At The Hop, and Sarah I think Faith will also be in it briefly!
If anyone is interested it is on at 7pm on the Nottingham Academy Primary YouTube page - the video will go live at 7pm so will not be viewable until then.
I haven't prepared the photo section this week, but we'll have a short break and Y has requested her new favourite piece at 8.12 please Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White - YouTube
Next up let's try Sweet Home Chicago - Bonny Vista Social Club - YouTube, remember the video has about 8 repeats in towards the end, so just get ready for when it carries on - we'll just do 2 or 3 in our version. It also then skips back to bar 5 with a DS al fine, so just watch for that, but generally speaking this video matches our arrangement.
While we're on W. If you havnt seen Whiplash its on the I player at the moment. Film about relationship between crazy bandleader/teacher and young drummer who wants to be the best.
Hi everyone we haven't said hi to!! Okay let's get started in a moment, I thought we would start at the bottom of the alphabet today and work our way up through any we haven't played for a while, starting with Wipeout and Watermelon Man, so Wipeout | BBB VR - YouTube at 7.30 please
