What we do
Its me Faraz. So far we have about 17 people in the music club and we will probably have a total of 20-25 when school starts. The point of this club is to get away from the seriousness of orchestra, band, and chorus. It is not about missing that C# or A flat, it is about having fun and enjoying music. Here are the music club goals.
1. do some practice songs and do a 3 song album of cover songs
2. Do some performances at school and beyond
3. Have a photo-shoot for the album ( I have cool software that can help , yes I am a techno geek)
4. Make 2 Christmas songs
5. 2nd semester we will be in the composition stage
6. by spring break we will be do our recordings for our album and then we will have a one big concert and then post our album to Itunes
Remember the goal is to have fun with music. I mean we all like classical music but do we listen to all those songs all the time on our ipods? Its time that SCPS does songs where the students can play music that they really enjoy or like to listen to. Above are sort of the basics of our schedule for this school year. Now becoming famous does require some hard work. We will have to rehearse every lunch except on Wednesday. I am sorry but I could not find any other time that could fit in everyone's schedule. The first 5-10 minutes we will eat lunch and listen to music that we want to. Every week one different person in the club will be in charge of lunch music. This way we can listen to music we know or get affiliated with new songs. After school in the cafeteria we will have fun music time, but it is not mandatory to come. It is just for fun. Attached to this email is the song list of the cover songs we will be doing. I have a few simple things I need you guys to do.
1. Under the Vote column put what songs you guys want to do by putting either " yes or no ". If you have never heard of a song , give it a chance. Just type it in youtube. Always disregard the singers of the song, they aren't the ones who will be doing the songs , we will.
2. Add songs that you like as well. Do not be afraid if no one else will like it, every song is an option. I only disprove songs that have a bad message or bad words.
3. If you want to participate in a song, put your name under main singer(s), chorus, and instruments. if you are wondering if your instrument will not work out in a song, don't worry we will try to compromise.
4. When doing this assignment listen to music. Remember to turn up the music.
Once we choose the songs, I will have to email the song list to Mr. Barnwell to see if he approves of the songs we will do.
I have a facebook so please friend me so that you guys can join the Music Club group. Everyone will be getting weekly updates on what is going on. Just type in Faraz Yousuf in the search bar and then click on my profile picture, which is a red robotic dinosaur that says Strum Tyrann.
If any of you have a song that you have composed and what to go ahead and record it, facebook or email me so that we can get some of it done. The songs that come the earliest will have a higher chance of coming on the end of the year album.
If you have any questions please email or facebook me.
Sincerely,
Faraz Yousuf , Remember to turn up the music. ( you guys can even call at 912-927-2007 , please do not abuse my number, do not give it to anyone else. If I am not there leave a message with your name and number)
