Drummer at Rangitikei college

At 2:00 on the 19th of July the students of Rangitikei College had the pleasure of listening to Dylan Elisa, a seventeen-year old from the Horowhenua area.

Dylan played pieces from lots of styles and techniques.

These styles included rock, jazz and even some latin.
His drum kit looked like some kind of Giant shiny fortress which dylan assures us was worth well over $15,000.
Luckily for Dylan he didn't have to purchase the whole drum kit himself as he has numerous sponsors from all around the Auckland area.
Its easy to gather sponsors when you have experience like Dylan's.
He has been playing the Drums since the age of six and at the age of 11 was even accompanying members from the New Zealand Symphomy Orchestra!

Dylans performance at our school was an extremely loud, but entralling one, and I'm sure that Rangitikei College would be glad to have him back here again.

I have some bad news.......

SCHOOL'S BACK!!!

That’s right, school is back
The holidays that we all savoured are over
Back to homework and lessons and a proper lunchtime

Here are some school time tips
Number 1: Getting up at a respectable time is harder now that it’s cold, if I had a tip I’d be using it and my Mum can vouch that I don’t. The only thing I can think of is attempt to keep the room warm. Close the windows early, close the curtains early and open the door a warmer room. Leech heat- the best way to go. It’s easier getting up if you’re not going to freeze on the way up. Just don’t get caught with the leeching, or better yet, use a heater
Number 2: Homework, don’t leave it too long. This sounds dorky but my advice is DO IT! -When you get home, just do it. If you need help, get some mates around. Do your homework, then watch a movie- or something
Number 3: I have no idea, have fun. Lunch time is there for a reason. Bring a blanket (if you want to share with your mates) and pretend that you are back in holiday mode
