Top 5 and Why?

1. Kolintang Orchestra
  • Because people in our class have experienced on playing the Kolintang and even though we learn different kinds of music, we can teach other and continue on making it as an ensemble. The people who can't play the Kolintang can either use the African Drums or sing.
2. MJ - tribute to past singers (dead)
  • I like this idea because we're bringing the song again and we're celebrating it. The songs from MJ and Whitney Houston are really good so it's a great idea for this design cycle class.
3. One hit wonders
  • Even though I don't know any one hit wonders but I like the idea of it, we're basically listening to a forgotten song which is awesome for me
4. Going forward to the past (70's and 80's)
  • This is a great idea because we can play a song in every decade and maybe not the whole song, some parts of it. If people that have no experience in music; they can either dance or sing as well to help our performance more alive.
5. Big Band
  • Most people in our class have experienced music and they can play instruments while the others don't. We have some people who can play guitars, basses, piano, drums, etc. The others can either sing, dance or even play the Kolintang or the African Drums. Making a big band is really fun but it is a hard one to do too.
