At 2:00 we were put into groups and i think everyone was as curious as i when we were finally put into the selected groups for the upcoming 2011 Boot Camp show. I had my doubts at first but once i was put into my group (Group 1) I was very pleased with the results seeing as within the first ten minutes or so we already decided on the two tracks we are going to do for the show. Me and Davi suggested to the first years the easiest way to decide on potential material was to choose one cover and an original track, Either we write one together as a group or an induvidual of the group reccomends a track of their own that they think will be suitable for the show. We had quite a breif disscussion about what we were going to choose. It was breif mainly because the members of the group were into similar music, Although Gary is into Hip-Hop but he also likes rock music so we decided as a group to pick a track from a band that used the best of both worlds Hip Hop & Hard Rock Linkin Park's Faint was the first choice reccomended by me & Davi. Everyone really liked the idea of playing it live especially seeing as everyone will be able to take part by incouperating what they do best to make the track a good'n to play live. We then decided who will be playing what on the track:
Me - Bass Guitar & lead vocals
Davi - Drums
Hana - Lead Guitar
Gary - MC Vocals
Rebecca - Keyboards/Synths
Once we finished deciding the cover Gary then reccomended one of his own original Hip-Hop tracks so we listened to a few of his originals and picked out the one we liked most and more importantly picked the one that would give everyone in the group an oppertunity to take part in the track. We then made our way to the Live Room to start rehearsing the tracks although, We decided that we should give ''Faint'' The most amount of attention first seeing as its a little more complex than Gary's original. [ ] Fount it quite hard to get the right notes for the Synth intro on the track so we all chipped in and helped her until it was completely right and honestly no one had to reccomend ''We should help her'' It was all very natural. Me and Hannah took some time to get the our Rythum synchronised but once we got it it was fine. Davi had a little trouble keeping the beat right but it is quite a complex beat and he assured us he will get he just needs more practice time.
So at the moment so far so good. I hope tomorrow will be as progressive as this afternoon was.
