Richards lesson-we are starting a new unit called music in the community its all about how to prepare a venue (gig) in our community and Richard put us in different groups that are promotion, production and marketing,each group have different roles i was chose to be in the promotion group we had to make a design that would be the template of the gig.we also planned on the steps we have to do before our gig so this way its easier and each person has different jobs to do.
.There as also a lesson about health and safety where we asked heath and safety member to come in and tells about what we can do and not do on the day of our gig by telling us what doors need to be always available so if there was a fire we know which doors are faster to go through and that is the exit doors he also told us to not put drinks in top of the amps,tapping down the cables by using gaffer tape and etc.
some of Richards lesson we had to practice our solos and ensembles.my ensembles that i'm doing are landslide with Natalie and harry on the gig we've been practicing the chord sequence of the song. I've also been practicing my solo songs that are: compitine d'un autre by Yann Tersen ,victors piano solo by Danny Elfman and kimi no buko by Todokanu Omoi been practicing the dynamics of the song and scales so it would make it simpler to play the song without any mistakes.
our promotiong group did the template design and put it on facebook we designed our template by finding a picture on google and colouring with the paint software we then edited by putting letters on top of the picture to make it a rough design so then james could send it to max and max can edit the design and make it much better.We had some complications about the date for the venue beacause the other course students wanted to do the same date as ours and it seems that wilf was rude to the lady that works at the frog cafe so we had to set up a date that is before the other students.We chosed the frog cafe because its closer to our college and we can take the instruments by hand it also has enough space for 100 students.Before the venue we played our songs infront of the group and i think that i need to work on most of my songs so i wont make any mistakes when it cames to the actual venue.our promotion group weekly plan is:set out date-time, design poster/flyer,contact some one for the design,advertise it on the internet,set up
for gig .we have set out a date time and have finished the design of the posters. we are now trying to make Facebook site for the oxjam so we can advertise it, the only thing that we need right now is the Facebook accounts of our colleagues so they can advertise it to other people.We have finished advertising our oxjam event on Facebook and now were starting to do design our leaflets.The date that we planned on doing the oxjam is on the Thursday the 17th of October.we have designed our template for the oxjam gig and James has send it to max but the template dint turn to be as it was before so James told max if he could do it again the template should have been finished a week ago but Wilf has missed a lot of details when his was talking to the person who was going to make the template so we had to do it again.The only thing i think that we need to do
for the promotion group is after the template is finished put it online also wilf said that he would do design the flyers and print it of, his also taking pictures of us and put it on the flyer`s.

this is the template that is advertise on facebook we already invited 186 people to go to our gig 18 declined 12 said maybe and 28 are going.I think that this template could have been a little bit better design because in reality we only did the writing the sign and the black line.The picture we found it on google pictures and did the writing on top of it.By making it better we should have at least looked for a picture that has a person our age playing any kind of instrument or a band on the background playing playing in the gig or a small festival.
This picture was taken when me Dan jasper and James were doing the busking in Henley on Thames we raised about 80£ for charity.we had some few minor problems with the amps because one of them stopped working so Dan couldn't use one of the microphones all the all the kit is owned by Dan expect two guitars.There were a lot of people sitting down and chilling out while watching us play some few songs.In the end it turned out to be a great venue.
