I found my very old blogspot site in my classmate's links. I forgot it's password and email. silly me. HAHA :))

It has only one post. An article I've submitted in The Laboratorian (high school publication) way way back then. Just giving a shot HAHA

LABORATORIAN BANDWAGON

Want to organize a band? The band that plays for school activities and balls? Problem is, you don’t know how. That’s easy! Start strumming those basses and guitars and beat those drums for some tips in how to keep that music starting.

First, in organizing a school band, you have to have your members. Be it your classmate, batch mate, schoolmate or a student who excel in any instrument in hand. It depends on how you want your group to be. It may be an all-male group or all-female group or on a mixed gender-basis.The following members you need are:

The vocalist- she/he may be a chorale member or anyone who have a ‘band voice’. Don’t look for someone who have a high-pitched voice. You’re organizing a band, not an opera.

The guitarist- you may have two of these. They may be someone who have their past time strumming their acoustic guitar in the corridor, pergola or even in their room.The bassist- that someone who knows to play the bass guitar.

The drummer- if he’s a DLC member, the better. If she’s a she, and knows how to get along with the tempo, that’s way too cool! Imagine, a girl beating those drums?! Astig!

The organ player- it’s optional. That someone may be the one who takes piano lessons every Saturdays.

Now you have your members (be sure you’d be one of those... hehe...), the next step is to discuss on what type of music you’d guys be playing. Rock, punk, heavy metal or whatever blows your mind that is. And of course, don’t forget…naming the band is a must! Here are some tips:

Name of your section- if your group consists of students in the same section. 3G for example stands for III-Gold.

Food- in any way you want it. Examples are Sandwich, Mayonnaise, Sugarfree, etc.

Name of the band members- sometimes, intitials will do.

Others- as long as your band sounds cool, you do your options.

And now you’re ready. Make sure you have a regular practice and of course, the instruments. Let your teachers supervise in every performance in any affair. And taa-daa! Welcome to the Laboratorian BANDwagon!
