New Instrument

Heya guys! Last night I got the chance to learn a new instrument! I already play the flute to a grade 3 standard but I have yet to take the test.... :L anyway, the Colour Sergent from Northwood has offered to teach me how to play the clarinet! XD Yay! :D I can only just play a couple of notes and it takes me a while to get the mouth right...you have to put your mouth a certain way when playing different instruments... soooo I'll keep you updated on my progress with the instrument, I may be able to play it in the marching band at some point when I get good enough! Blog later! :D

Remembrance Day


                             Wear Your Poppy With Pride!
This sunday I am performing with 114 Northwood and Ruislip Squadron Band, we are leading the parade and playing at some point throughout. Feel free to pop down to Ruislip High Street to see this amazing band play. This year, this band has won 2nd Wing Percussion, 1st Wing Overall Band, 1st Wing Fanfare, 1st Wing Ensemble, 1st Wing Marching Band and 2nd Region Marching Band. As you can see just from the past competition we have a pretty good reputation. I will post any pictures later...
Do not forget!! Wear it with pride :)

Graphological Features

This post is focused on the graphological features of each source pictured. If you have any comments or points please comment below :)
Source One

This source uses a large number 6 to emphasise that this is only the amount of myths the audience needs to know, this is in a clear brightly coloured font to make it stand out from the rest of the article and draw the audience's eye to it. The writing next to it is in a large font which if the audience's eye is drawn to it, explains what the article is about in a brief sentence. The subheadings are in a smaller font but bolder and larger than the main body of text which is clear and easy to read in a black font on a white background.


Source Two

This source has a picture that takes up half of the page therefore drawing the audience's attention to it. It also has a bright blue arrow on a greyish background making it stand out and saying to the reader that this image relates to this text. The audience are then told what this article is about by the large bold writing which is in a plain black font. Then there is extra information under the title in bright red font, therefore letting them know that it is an important piece of information. In the bottom right hand corner of the image there is a small paragraph in white font to allow it to stand out from the rest of the picture and to give, in short, what the picture is about.
