Pandemonium in the hall

On Thursday 13th September, a musical percussion group called Pandemonium visited Ilam School.  We were treated to a 'round-the-world' trip hearing music from the Cook Islands, Africa, South America and more.  We got to join in one of the Samba songs.  Listen here:



Here is a clip of Lydia playing the drums with one of the group members.




The performance finished with the Bongo Song, which many of the children know, so they got up and danced.   Unfortunately I didn't get a clip of Room 19 enjoying it.
