Strike

On Thursday the middle and senior school went to the auditorium to watch the Strike performance. Strike is a really, really loud drum band. When we got there it was really noisy.  When it started they started with a big bang.I felt like jumping out of my seat and screaming with fright. Then the two other people joined in with him. There names were Mr T, Taka and Jimbo. The instruments they were using was a Bass drum, drum kit and Cymbals and a high top and the Marimba. The Marimba sounded like waves from the sea.

Then I started getting used to it. After they finished their first drum bit they started talking to us. Next they did another Drum bit again but it was much louder. Jimbo was kind of doing a little dance all way through when he was doing the drums. 

Then they said to all the teachers to sent 4 of the children in your class to come down and play on the wooden drums with them. The children that came down from our class was Netani and Ashleigh. The first instruction was to do 5 beats on the wooden drums then do a even harder one which I can't explain to you.

Next it was the teachers turn to do it. So 2 teachers came down and both there names were Sarah. Sarah 1 (Mrs Alsari) was on the high top and Sarah 2 (Mrs Cameron) was on the drum. 

The next thing they did was the cup song but instead of using cups they used cans on a black table.

After that they got 3 sticks and put them in their hands. They had a spray in their hands too. Then Mr T got a lighter and lit the sticks on fire and started spraying the spray at the fire and blowing at the same time. The fire was blowing in the air making steam waves. It is safe for them because they were trained by a professional and by a fire station.

The next thing Mr T said to us to politely ask Taka if he could play the piano for us. When he was playing the piano it sounded like God singing. I felt like jumping up and singing.

It was a shame because when Taka was still playing the piano Mr T joined in and made Taka stop.;(

Then they started talking to us again. They let us ask some questions about them.

When Strike was playing I heard fun and noise, I tasted joy. I felt like jumping around on the floor in front of the whole of Manurewa Central School. My favourite part of the show was when they were doing the cup song. I would recommend this performance to everyone.
