Elia
The Bones
Try to memorize where your 4 notes go. The dots on the top and front of the guitar are SUPER helpful finding your spots quickly
Firework
You are singing the bridge and final long chorus of this song. Please work on practicing your lyrics so you can memorize them quickly:
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through, -ough, -ough
‘Cause, baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Ah, ah, ah”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ’em go, “Ah, ah, ah”
You’re gonna leave ’em all in awe, awe, awe

The Bones
For “The Bones” try to remember the second kick comes RIGHT after the snare. Check out the video when you NAIL it!
Firework
You are singing the 2nd verse and chorus of this song. Please work on practicing your lyrics so you can memorize them quickly:
You don’t have to feel like a wasted space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt your heart will glow
And when it’s time you’ll know
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

Reagan
Firework
You are singing the 1st verse and chorus of this song. Please work on practicing your lyrics so you can memorize them quickly:
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
‘Cause there’s a spark in you?
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

The Bones
The timing for “The Bones” is kinda tricky. Try to listen to that tune so much that the syncopation is in your bones- heh heh. Your keybass part on the song is SUPER important, and you will hold us all together as the glue with that line 🙂
Rhys
Make sure to listen to our this session’s band songs a lot. The drum parts are not crazy hard, but there are some tricky things with a couple of the rhythms- and they are super important for keeping the band together
