This morning all my friends and I from primary schools across Australia celebrated the value of music education for all students! There were live webstreams from Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. We sang several songs, but the primary song for 2010 is "Come play your part". The song was written by nine high school students across Australia who have never met each other before and they worked with Australian mentor musicians. They have been supported by the Australian government. It was their first experience of co-writing! How did they go? Wowww!!!! Awesome, excellent, beautiful!
We had to memorize the song and the choralography and practice them many times at home! We performed the songs with the Royal Military College (RMC) band at the Llewellyn Hall, ANU . Wow! Isn't that cool?
Come play your part
It's your time. What are you feeling?
Look all around. Can you believe it?
Give it your all, let it flow through you
I'm by your side, all we need to do is sing ...
Chorus:
Don't have to hide what's inside you, all you got to do is sing ...
Let it out, let it surround you ...
We're gonna shout, we're gonna sing
Let the music give us all we need
Lay down a groove, move to what we feel inside ...
Feel the rhythm, keep the beat
Feel it in your hands and in your feet
Lift your voice, find it in your heart ...
Come play your part!
Don't miss out, there's nothing to fear
This is your chance, that's why we're all here
Just one song everyone will remember
Let this song bring us all together
Oooh, oooh ...
Come play your part, sing from the heart ...
You can't get it wrong, who knows you might even get it right ...
You can't get it wrong, who knows you might even get it right ...
Are you curious about the song? Well, you can hear it from the internet http://www.musiccountusin.org.au/
You know, I want to be a song writer someday!
This is the golden wattle (Acacia pycnantha), the Australia's national flower, a symbol of patriotism.
