Our Rock Quest Song

Our song that we are going to perform at Rock Quest is called Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand.
We chose this song because it was really simple to perform and the tune was cool. Some of us didn't know the song before starting this project but we have got to know it and now we like it.

This is a picture of Franz Ferdinand. They were the ones who sang "Take Me Out" first.

He is the official video clip of the song we are performing at Rock Quest.




Here are the lyrics for "Take Me Out"



So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here, you leave me broken shattered I lie
I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot then we can die

I know I won’t be leaving here with you

I say, "Don't you know?"
You say, "You don't know"
I say, "Take me out"
I say, "You don't show"
Don't move time is slow
I say, "Take me out"

Well I say, "You don't know"
You say, "You don't go"
I say, "Take me out"
If I move this could die
And eyes move this could die
I want you to, to take me out

I know I won't be leaving here
(With you)
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
(With you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you

Well I say, "Don't you know?"
You say, "You don't know"
I say, "Take me out"
If I wane this could die
I wait this could die
I want you to take me out

If I move this could die
Eyes move this can die
Come on, take me out

I know I won't be leaving here
(With you)
I know I won't be leaving here
(With you)
I know I won't be leaving here
(With you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you

Our Band Logo

Today we finalised our band logo. The logo is made up of two images, placed together using words that we made using various websites. These are shown here:

Here's Connor's word we liked the font but not the colour and reflection.

Here's Mohammad's one. we liked the background but not the colour.


Here's Aaron word we liked the font but not the colour.

This is Khan' word we liked the font but not the background.


This is the word that we all wanted to use as our logo.

             After we all chose the logo we had to find an emblem and this is what we came up with.
When we had got the emblem we had to put them together and this is what we got.

Band Journal

Day 1- 6/8/2012

Today Mr Martinez and Mr Mead introduced our new inquiry unit, ‘ The Rock Quest’. ‘ The Rock Quest ’ is a different inquiry unit because we have to form a rock band and we are going to learn how to play the instruments on 'Guitar Hero'. We formed groups and came up with a band name. In our group there is Aaron, Khan, Connor and Mohammad. 

Day 2- 10/8/2012

Today 2 of our members were at dance and choir while we were making possible logos. Each member made 3 each. The logos were actually just letters.....for now. We made these letters.

Day 3-  13/8/2012

Today we had to create a blog. Our blog included our names and name of the band, gadgets and more.     Thanks to Mr Martinez, now we know how to use ‘Blogger’ better. Connor got to play the guitar on ‘Guitar Hero’ and he was killing it! I bet we could win the competition! 

Day 4- 14/8/2012

Today we chose an emblem. All of us did handmade letters. Khan did two more logos on the internet and put them on the server. Khan did this because he didn't put his other logos that he made earlier. Khan was having a few problems which is why Mohammad and Aaron helped him.

Day 5- 15/8/2012

Today we made a decision on which letters we were going to use for our logo. Mohammad made the final logo with our emblem and the letters we chose. We also chose our song to perform at the competition. We chose the song because we thought it was easy and we won't make any mistakes.

Day 6- 24/8/12

Today we made a new post for the song we will be performing in the theatre. While lunch was going on, some of our members got a turn at performing on the wii in room 1. One of our band member Mohammed was away, but the singers instrument was needed a proper separate wii control.
