have released a new part? The triangle. For people just like me. They are obviously in need of a few extra seats. Knowing we are resourceful people they are even giving us triangles as part of our registration.
I am hopeful that there will be a special separate conductor who will point to us each and every time we have to ding the thing.
In order to become a fully fledged triangle extraordinaire one has to practice practice practice.
First an instrument was needed. Triangles were in short supply but tent pegs were readily available. A selection of tent pegs were retrieved from the camping gear. Each was tested for tonal excellence. It would appear that a shoe lace makes a better holder than a piece of silver welding rod. A masonary drill makes a good dinger.
Megan has printed out the music. Normal music may have 5 lines but luckily us triangle people have a subset of 1. The music is a medley of three songs all in a thing called 4 : 4 time. But the beats per minute changes from song to song.
So here we are at our first practice. Megan is playing along on the recorder with Jemma. Once Jemma gets it then Megan will graduate to the clarinet. Dan is drumming on his practice pad. Chris is blowing his trombone.
