In Feburary at GBS, the students are meeting Jeff Erwin and "The Beast" in a workshop called Junk to Funk. In this workshop you play music with recycled material. Each and every student will have one workshop at a certain block of the day. 70 minute blocks give the student more time to have fun. At the end of the week GBS will have an assembly with kids who want to preform in front of the entire school. Some call it stomp but others call it pure music.
"This is a way to express your creativity and music talents," said an anonymous 8th grader. "I have musical talent but others that I didn't think had it, had it!"Usually schools have people come and give demonstrations and have the kids sit and watch it. This program though, is a fun way to learn about Junk 2 Funk by playing the instruments just to see how much fun it really is!
"The 'Beast' is so much fun! I want one!" said 5th grader Cameron Ibach. The "Beast" is a big triangular piece of metal with signs, po
ts and shovels. Kids use sticks and hit it to make noise. Most of the pieces of the "Beast" make a high noise except for frame of it. There are so many other instruments made out of metal, plastic and wood."Working with kid is so much fun and each school is more creative than the last," Jeff Erwin said.
