Ever wonder what the music of Trinidad sounds like? Well, after the UK steel band visited our school we don’t have to wonder anymore. Now we know. The UK Steel band is a group of students who play for schools so students can learn part of history. They played all kinds of percussion instruments like steel pans, shakers, and other drums.
We really liked the performance. We got to see music from a different part of the world. For example, most of the music they played came from Trinidad, a small island off the coast of South America. Something else that was different from other performances we've had in school was the audience participation. Once they even passed out some shakers to the front row and allowed the children to play along. A fun time was had by all!
The UK steel band was wildly entertaining, and we enjoyed having them at our school. We give them 5 paws!
I loved this performane it was fun and LOUD
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was when the steel band let us try to figure out what songs they were playing, for example, row, row, row your boat, my old kentucky home, and the abc song!
ReplyDeleteI love that you thought they were "wildly entertaining!" I think it's amazing to learn about "junk bands," too, and how people use what some consider to be trash to create musical instruments!
