Reflection #6: Big Band Helper

 One of my friends, Rosana Pozo, is creating an activity to bring a Jazz band, Big Band Maracaibo, to school, therefore I decided to help her anyway I could. Because one of the main problems was advertising she asked us if we were willing to advertise in the elementary assembly about the band coming to school and because it was for little kids she had the idea of making a Christmas dance with the song ‘Jingle Bells’ the cover by Glee and after the dance she would announce the coming of the band. On Wednesday I stayed afterschool with her and we started practicing and finishing up with all the steps, then on Thursday we taught the dance steps to Paula and Daniela, who were also helping Rosana, during any time in the day where we had free time, and finally today in the morning we practiced as well. Mr. Mesiner let us miss part of History to go to the assembly to perform for the elementary kids and we were all very nervous but once the music started it went all right. After the performance we saw a video tape that Mr. Diaz took and it went better than expected, although there was a part where Dani and Paula messed up but its ok. If I were to do this again I think I would make everyone practice more since practice makes perfect, but even though it was still a good experience.
