In room 166, stomping and clapping is all that could be heard. “We are so ready for Drumline people,” said SI participant Hannah. In between bouts of laughter, today’s music track did a warm-up practicing rhythm with rounds of stomping and clapping. When everyone had enough, Music instuctor Erica opened up discussion and asked everyone what music means to them. This started talk of favorite bands – from Frou Frou to Nickelback, all were talked about. By gathering thoughts on music, everyone compiled their musical insight onto a mobile. ATMI reporter Andrew Aquino asked Madelin, a senior at Colony High, what she though about music.

“It’s being able to communicate not only through words, but through melody and rhythm.”

Collectively, this idea was shared with the rest of the group. It seems like everyone is passionate about being able to communicate through music, and are having a good time doing it.
