On Friday, January 21st, 8th Grade music students recorded performances of the song “Riptide” by Vance Joy as part of their final project for 8th Grade music class. Throughout the entire marking period, students learned how to play the guitar, ukulele, piano, bass and the drum set and then formed bands to perform two different songs. Enjoy their performances of Riptide!
