The inventi orchestra

We headed out to Saint Paul's Lutheran Church after a few hours of class for the 'Musical Treasure Hunt Workshop.'
We walked in and saw a large assortment of cardboard tubing and the members of the Inventi Orchestra ready with their cardboard instruments next to them. They gave a demonstration of each instrument and we had to choose which of the three instruments we'd be making. One instrument was the "bassoon" which was a smaller roll of cardboard tubing with a small plastic pipe and some other stuff attached to it. There were harps made from shoe boxes, lids and other cardboard box-like things with rubber bands attached to them, Lastly there were the rainmakers, which I opted to make. These were the very large cardboard rolls and we sealed of one end. We then poured in different shapes and quantities  of pasta and rice until we got a really beautiful sound. We then sealed off the other end and made a face on it.
The workshop was a lot of fun and was really interactive. After we made instruments, we all participated in a practice for the performance later that night. The Inventi Orchestra members were really helpful and made it into a great experience.
Unfortunately I was unable to make it to any other of Saturday's events, but was well prepared to make it to a few on Sunday.
