A while ago I posted about a school talent night held at Trinity, and mentioned that a few of the teachers, including myself, put together a couple of songs for the show. While I can’t truly claim to have any great musical talent, I can wield a bass guitar well enough to hold the rhythm section together, especially with a great drummer like Charlie. The rest of the band was Rob, Darrell, Alanna and Kevin, all wonderfully dedicated and talented teachers who don’t mind getting up and showing their wild side in front of the kids. The kids seem to really enjoy seeing their teachers get up and “give it a go”, and it’s that spirit that make schools such wonderfully human places in which to work…

Well it turns out that a video of our performance turned up on YouTube. For anyone brave enough to take a peek, here is a clip of two songs we performed on the night… the sound quality isn’t great and the camera work is a bit shaky, but it just goes to show what can be done when a kid in the crowd just happens to capture something like this on his cellphone, and then posts it up on YouTube within a few hours.

It was, I must admit, a lot of fun.
