I performed after Ty and I had two acts. I rapped approximately three minutes on my first act. More people came in as I was rapping. As a result, the host brought more chairs to seat the plethora of students that entered the gallery. As the room began to fill up, I worried that not everyone would fit inside. Ty had about twenty-five people by the end of his performance, but I had over fifty people during my performance. The theme of my song was cheating in relationships. I used metaphors, punchlines, and alliteration in my rap so that the audience could understand my message. The crowd continuously nodded whenever they heard a punchline. This gave me more energy to give an outstanding show. Furthermore, the crowd appeared surprised when I used profanity. At first, I assumed the audience would not enjoy the language.

I do not remember their names, but I will always remember their faces and presentations. I was able to watch musicians, actors, and dancers perform captivating solos, phenomenal acting, and hilarious dancing. I met a couple of imaginative artists such as James and Charles. James rapped one of his songs for two minutes after my poetry act. His rhythm and rhymes were what caught my attention because he has the same style as Post Malone. Charles played the acoustic guitar fluently and did a cover of his favorite band. I presumed that his favorite band is Skillet since style and sounded closely resembled John
The sessions took place at The Audio Department, and since most of my experience in the studio happened at MacEwan it was good to have the exposure to something new and different. After all my experience working on session at MacEwan, I was pleased to discover how well the knowledge I possessed about signal flow translated to other studios. This increased my confidence in my skills as an engineer. In a similar fashion to the Jean Nicolas Trio sessions, I focused on how Paul was working with the band as a producer. Paul also got me to do rough mixes for a number of tunes.
It was much different than anything I have been too. The two main narrators made this circus Olay act, even more entertaining by being humorous. A great deal of times these two narrators made almost the whole crows grin and chuckle. For my family and me, we could not stop smirking or laughing the entire time.

Considered the “Father of Western Philosophy”, the great Aristotle is quoted as saying “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” This is something that, a young intelligent man in the early 1990’s took to heart, as he set out on a great journey to know himself. Chris McCandless, this young man, however took a different path than most in terms of discovering himself by attempting to abandon society and live off the land in rural Alaska. Chris’s journey throughout his brief adulthood, should be celebrated due to his pursuit of self discovery, and finding the source of true happiness. However we must acknowledge his decision to go into the unforgiving wilderness ill-prepared and the way he rejected true companionship in his travels pre-Alaskan adventure should not be ignored.
Some people make their song or any writing effective by using dictation or foul language. In the song “Hold up”, Beyoncé uses foul language to appeal to pathos/anger by saying, "I'm gonna f*** me up a b****", while holding a bat. In the song “Don’t hurt yourself” ft. Jack White, Beyoncé uses foul language to appeal to pathos/anger by saying, “Who the f*** do you think I am? You ain’t married to no average b****, boy, You can watch my fat a** twist, boy, as I bounce to the next d*** boy”.

Mimicing the transformations of the hall throughout the years, the musical took the audience on a journey through musical, and theatrical history.
