Hello everyone! I am a fifth grader at Mingde Elementary School, and my name Is Chen Hong-Lin. I think it’s fun to play Samba band, and for me it’s a very rare opportunity for us to be able to play Samba band here in Taiwan. What more?! I was Chosen to be one of the leader of the group, where I have to stand in front of the whole group while giving instructions to everyone. We have a variety of samba rhythm, where “Reggae” is my favorite, because of its distinctive rhythm. It makes us feel lively. Just seeing our group having a perfect performance makes me feel excited, especially when I heard the audience’s thundering applause. I will continue to play Samba band, and I enjoy it. This time I am responsible for the webpage design. I am together with Wu Meng-Xi as a group responsible for combination of pictures and texts inside the website. This year we present our years of parenting samba band exercises, activities and performances. They are all very rewarding.

I am Wu Meng-Xi, 6th grade class 2 at Mingde Elementary School. I was in charge of the instrument named Agogo in the Samba band. I have to go to school every week to practice. Now I have a deep sense of affection to the Samba band. I can show myself and do it independently. My profound impression song is “Reggae” rhythm because it makes me revel in them. This year is my last year in elementary school, and it makes me sad. I hope I still can make a distraction to alma mater, and for his alma mater proud even when I am in the Junior High School. Teacher has instructed us to use simple way in setting up the webpage. During the process photos and text size have been problems. Because of teacher’s simple explanation, we can set up the website without afraid of any mistakes.

I was Chen Peng-Yu (Mingde Elementary School, 6th grade class 2 student). I am in charge of the Caixa in the team. Every Saturday I have the feeling of happiness and looking forward to come to play samba music in the school. Since the very beginning when the samba band creation I was in there. Time passes quickly, and shortly, I have become experienced senior members from an ordinary novice rookie, and will graduate from elementary school this year. I hope I can still also pop up, back to the band with everyone. Because for me, music is an integral part of life. Every time we are trying hard to put out one note, it can not only express our emotion, inner thoughts, they can be very fun to play with everyone happily in our exclusive samba music, whether and lively Reggae or air fresh Batucada ...... hope for the future, I can receive more and more new songs and learn more about playing the instruments. Work with Lang Chih-Wen, we are responsible for the picture of website banner. We have gone through many times to let the words express the feeling as metal drum.

Since I joining the band, I learned more music knowledge, except previously known piano, violin, tambourine and triangle these instruments, now also know there are many kinds of drums. According to the size and shape you can make different sounds. Others such as rattle, Agogo, sand bell, those different instruments not only broaden my horizons, but also learned how to play them nicely. My first learned rhythm is "Reggae". At the beginning, I am not playing well, and cannot keep up the rhythm. But the teacher's guidance, with repeatedly constant practice, and finally, that special rhythm become a natural rhythm. When my eyes are closed, I still can go playing without wrong. So to me, "Reggae" is very impressed. It is also my favorite samba rhythm.

I am Tsao Ling-Yi, a 6th grade class 5 student at Mingde Elementary School. To participate a samba band is a big challenge to me. Because I have never had any contact with musical instruments, I felt nervous to such percussion activity. But played for three to four years after, there was a feeling very happy, because I feel that I really like the music. I played a lot of instruments, such as Surdo I drum, sand bell, and now the CAIXA. When play the music, I need to shake the body, together with the rhythm, let me relax my body. This is a very natural movement, and also is the reason I like to play in samba band.

During the class, we can get better emotional contact with each other. You can figure out and understand my feeling from the picture!

 3rd grade class 1 student at Mingde Elementary School, Lang Yu-Xiang joined the Mingde samba band. In this band, I learn a lot of drumming skills. If you got wrong, start from where you are going wrong and then practice, until you know thoroughly by heart. When we practice well, we can have five minutes rest. In fact, those five minutes is never enough for me. I will make friends at the time, so I know a lot of big brothers and sisters. During the time we are playing "Reggae" rhythm, from know nothing to now play steadily, which means that we take to heart. Practice makes perfect is the secret of winning.
