On Friday 19th February the Strike percussion group came and performed at Muritai school, capturing the heart and ears of many young ones.
Strike is a high energy percussion group made up of 3 people. The group was created (founded) in 1993. The Strike group uses lots of different percussion intruments such as drums, giant symbols, drink cans, etc. “Strike” is a mixed translation of the word percussion. A percussion instrument is an instrument that makes a sound when it vibrates. Normally the instrument (item) is made to vibrate from someone hitting, moving or shaking it.
The Strike performance was energetic and loud, the performers moved around the stage keeping all children (and adults) of all ages interested at all times. Mia Harry quoted: I found the noise amazing as it echoed in the school hall. Some other people used the words: Loud, fun, energetic, variety, amazing, exciting and interesting to describe the show.
By the end of the show everyone was ready to stand up off the hard floor and soak up the sun outside, although, I think most will agree the Strike performance was one to remember.
