Basic Facts Test

Dangerous Decibels

Today we went to a dangerous decibels show, it taught us about what was safe and what wasent to listen to. One fact I learnt was that 85 decibels was safe to listen to but anything higher will slowly damage your hearing. I learnt that my ipod volume should be 60% or lower. I am going to turn down my ipod to save my hairing.

A Most Triumphant Tale Review

Yesterday (5/7/13) I went to Tauranga Intermediate School's production called A Most Triumphant Tale at bay court  It was an awesome show that was written and directed by Mrs Storey and Jess.

The Production was about to rival bands one called Labyrinth and another called One dimension who are About to compete in Band Battle but the night before band battle Labyrinth's lead singer decides to trail for the voice which sparks an argument from Labyrinth's lead Guitarist who then makes The lead singer and keyboard player and himself quit which leaves ed and phil. Ed and Phil are taking auditions for new band member's when star man appears and tells Ed and Phil that they must go back in time and get amazing new band members to change the future of music. The get back to 2013 just in time for the band battle which they win after the band battle mozart and Jimi Hendrix go back in time. The other Band members decide that it was all just a big mistake and get back together.

The Character's had amazing costumes especially Fletcher (Star man), Joe (mozart) and angel (supreme), I thought that the costumes really made the show just that little bit better.

The singing was great especially the Motown Boys and the Supreme's. I thought it was really cool when the man and his piano come up from the floor and started playing his catchy tunes.

I Thought It was really funny when Mr Parken Started dancing at the Singing auditions

Overall I thought it was a really good show and well worth $7. I think that almost everyone would have enjoyed A Most Triumphant Tale.
