Orchestra Trip!

Today, most people in LS2 had the great opportunity to visit the town hall in Auckland.We watched a orchestra performance. The actual presentation was called Kiwi Kapers, in Auckland. The musicians had presented three pieces. This was a very special opportunity and the music was very calming and relaxing. Some of the pieces even sounded similar to music some of us know! A soloist had also presented a very great piece of music that was based off a bull fight. There also was dance group from St Kens / Ngatapawae, who did a excellent performance dancing. There was also different instruments played at the orchestra and there were four groups. The Brass group, Woodwind group, Strings group and Percussion group. The brass group consists of the french Trombone, Trumpet and the Tuba. The Woodwind group consists of the flutes, Clarinet, Oboe and the Bassoon. The Strings group consisted of the Harp, Violin, Viola, Cello and the double bass. Finally the Percussion group was a mix of the Drums, Symbols and the triangle. We had so much fun watching the excellent performances coming from the orchestra and we hope to come again!
