We arrived at 11:00am and set up the instruments at the music room. We made up another song for the kids to sing and tuned all the instruments. We practiced the song and then all the kids had arrived. They weren't very enthusiastic and didn't want to participate for a while but we handed out prizes and other stuff which encouraged them to join in a bit more. They didn't want to sing along with Damien's activities but when Bryte came along, they were all for the hip hop rapping. They sung along to the songs and played musical statues then musical bobs. That all finished at about 3:00pm so we headed back to our dorm and ate the sandwiches Cassy had made for us.
Now we are waiting for 5:30pm when the concert will start and we will prepare all the food while we are waiting. When the concert starts Damien and Em will start off followed by Ewan, Bryte and Willy who lives up in this community of about 70.
AFTER THE CONCERT ...
The concert was great and we had a giant barbeque with 100 sausages and the skewers I had made earlier which there were 85 of (you will see a picture of them below). Ewan sang a few of his songs followed by the usual routine of Damien,Em and Bryte. None of the kids wanted to sing the song they had made in the workshop like the kids in Yandeyarra because they were very shy.
After Bryte performed, the Warrelong Band sung a couple of their own songs which were fantastic! It was really cold like all the previous nights. The days have also been pretty cold which was very unexpected.
Below you will see pictures of my kebabs and the concert that was performed
Great kebabs Ned! You'll have to make some of these when you get home :)
