Women's Camp Volunteer Stuff

Today, we went to a Salvation Army Conference Centre to do volunteer work. We had to teach dance to women volunteers who work for Salvation Army all across Ontario. There was people from toronto, etobicoke, london, etc. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time even though it was all adults and I was the youngest one there but I wasn't the only one that went. Mom also went too.

Art's Night Performance

Yesturday was sooo much fun. We got to perform eight songs and this was also the last performance we will be playing ever again as Castlemore's Wind Ensemble. Some of the songs we played, you might recognize. The songs we played were My Heart Will Go On, Edelwiss, Last Voyage of Queen Anne's Revenge, Pirates of the Carribean, Chorale 156, Beauty and The Beast, Eye of The Tiger, and our favourite song; Legend Of Castle Armagh. The last song we played was the Legend of Castle Armagh and we even got Mrs. Scibberas (our teacher) very emotional. The gym was as always, very beautiful and filled with many amazing pieces of art. I found all three of my paintings since all of the grade eight's and a few grade seven's paintings were displayed. Afterward, we wrote on Mrs. Scibberas board and saying thanks to her for all her efforts. I will definetely miss her because she has certainly taught us a lot. She organized workshops for us to work on our playying and also found great pieces for us to play. In addition, a grade nine music teacher from my future high school also came and helped us tweak our music to make it the best as possible and to bring out the potiental in us.
Here is a video of the song Legend of Castle Armagh. The middle part of the song was cut because dad thought that the song ended and also I was looking for the sheet of music so he thought it ended when it actually didn't. We just had a short break while the drums played because it started off with a slow tempo and then gradually getting to a faster tempo then going back to slow. There is four parts to this song and it also tells a story. In the beginning, it talks about the place where the Castle is. Then it talks about going into the Hall of the Nobles where Kings and Queens gather together to feast or to talk about stuff. In the part where it got cut off was suppose to be a battle between an enemy. In the end is celebrating the victory of the battle and also the proud of the victory. I hope that you can figure out the story by listening and watching the video.

Art's Night

Tomorrow will be a busy day for me because first of all, it is Art's Night. Its a show in where we perform are talents to the parents. There will be paintings displayed, bands playing, dancers dancing, etc. In the morning, a lot of time will be taken away from school to rehearse for the show so I won't be having a lot of lessons tomorrow. Also, tomorrow is when our class gets to practice for our graduation. We will be practicing how to walk and the order we have to sit in, and etc. Tomorrow will be a busy week. :O

Also, I have handed in all my art work right on time. I handed it on the June 1st and the teacher had changed the due date to June 4th. But a lot of my classmates were still not done so I have nothing to do now. I'm kinda glad that I finished it early because he was getting a bit mad at the people that weren't finished. In addition, I did some more changes to the giraffe painting. There is some different lightings on the giraffe and more evident and bright looking clouds. I hope that all my art pieces will get a good mark on it.

Fun Fair!!!

I'm so excited for tomorrow because there will be a fun fair and I will be helping out. Also, the parents have asked the Wind Ensemble to play during the fun fair and since I am in it, that means I will have to perform.
The weather report said that it might rain tomorrow but I am hoping it won't because that would ruin the fun fair. That means we will have to move it indoors like one year when it rain.
The picture that is up there is just another picture I took. Its for a music assignment I'm doing so I just chose this picture and decided to upload it onto my blog. Seems like a long time since I haven't upload a good picture of myself. ;p
Time for Countdown to birthday: 15 days :)

My Newest Art Pieces

The art is due on friday and not tomorrow so that means I will have some more time to finish my art. The first picture is my native picture. There is suppose to be a message to it and for mine art, it talks a bit about global warming. My painting is seperated in two and the right side is the "evil" side with fiery colours and in the bottom is our earth. If we don't treat it well, our planet will be burned up by fire and I used a phoenix to represent fire because in the native times, the fire was created by the phoenix and it is the spirit of the fire. Also there is two men and they come from two different tribes, one of them is evil and the other tribe is the good side. On the left as you guessed it is the "good" side with calming colours and as you can see the earth is clean with blue oceans and green land. I chose the green, blue, purple because to me it is a more relaxing colour and its not a destructive colour compared to pink, red, orange, yellow, etc. I hope that you got the message from my art piece. "To respect our earth if you don't want it to turn black and brown but to leave it blue and green."
I need a few suggestions if the second picture looks like the last picture. It's suppose to be a replica of a picture that you took and I tried to do that the best I could but its still hard since painting the details were tough. I didn't know how to paint fur so I hope this is good enough.

Hope you like both of my art pieces and please give me suggestions.... thanks.

Lobster Meal!!

Today, we had a big feast. We got to eat delicious lobster and abalone. It was a long long time since we ate lobster. The last time we did was when Tracy and Woo Soo came to Canada and we had a celebration before they left. I got bored because I was full and they were talking so I took out my camera and tested out its function; taking pictures with flash on.

Student Leadership Ceremony

Today I got an AWARD!! It is called the student leadership award and it is awarded to students all over York Region who have displayed leadership skills and also for good character traits. I was a lucky one to be able to get this award because I was on the integrity team so the teachers that were helping with the integrity team decided to award six people from this team to get an award.
