On friday the 1st of march all the class rooms went to the hall to see the strike performance. i really liked the performance but is was quite loud. the thing they where doing is called percussion.and this is what they did first they play a thing about a van in a storm. they also played the drums and a thing that looked like a saxophone but bigger they also played with fire it was so cool they used this purple liquid and sprayed it on the fire to make a cool sound and to make the flames bigger.the teachers also did a drum battle and who ever did it the loudest won it was matoha travis vs urmi they tied tho they both got a chocolate to. to be honest my favorite thing they did was probably the fire or the drums. but i did really really like them all. the whole performance was sooooo cool. we also did a clapping song where we had to clap to the beat. they did about 3 or 4 druming ones and 1 or 2 clapping ones and 1 fire one.there was 3 people doing the percussion performance that.
