VSO Masquerade Reaction

At school, we had a performance that we and one other class had participated in, and it was a Masquerade! We had to wear our masks that we made on the performance, which is why its called a Masquerade. The performance was about Mozart, and we sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on recorder, and 4 other variations. The performance went something like this: First, we walked in to the gym, which was were the performance was taking place, and we waited for the first part of the masquerade to finish, and after that we walked back and forth holding our recorders. Finally, we assembled into circles and we played on our recorders. All the of the circles played the first 3 parts, but the fourth part, our circle had to dance while the others played, and the final part we played and the others danced. It was fun playing and dancing, but the highlight of it was probably playing because it was much more fun, but if we hadn’t been wearing masks, things would probably be different, so that was a also something. I liked the performance and it was a lot of fun, and were also going to be doing this 3 times. we already did it twice, but tomorrow were doing it again.

VSO reflection

On the day of the masquerade, I was a bit nervous but also excited. I was nervous because I might’ve played the wrong note on recorder or something like that, but in the end it turned out alright. my favourite part about the masquerade was being able to dress up in fancy clothes and wearing masks because it made me feel fancy.

Another one of my favourite parts was when we got to decorate our on masks. There wre four different colours, Red, Blue, Silver, and Gold. My mask was blue, I decorated my mask with feathers, sequins, and glitter. for the masquerade I wore a hi-lo hemline dress, black boots and I curled my hair as well! After we played recorder, we danced to Mozart then hip-hop then Mozart the hip-hop.

It was interesting to dance to a song that had hip-hop and classical music together.
