Alex here. Today went much better than expected.
During class today, Connor, Christian and myself secluded ourselves in one of the soundproof rooms of the band hall. For about an hour, we worked on creating an original song that we have not yet titled. I played a guitar part, Connor created a drum rythm for both the conga and the full drum set, and Christian wrote a set of lyrics that I consider to be outstanding given the speed and ease in which they were written.
We were able to construct a solid verse, bridge, and chorus, which we repeat as needed. We plan to incorporate a small instrumental section as well. We performed this 'rough draft' peice for Mr. Matthys, who was very pleased and stated that we were making a "perfect Google project." He suggested that we post a video here of ourselves performing the song for everyone to see, which we will do within the next few days when we are able to record it properly. I could post a very rough sketch now, but I do not want to lower the expectations of potential fans.
I learned today that if we sincerely open wide a new song and pour in our musicality, we can easily exceed our previous expectations of ourselves.
