samba in Cambridge research report

Both groups have a sense of Band identity because-’Arco Iris Samba’ all wear colourful jumpers and Thudbox all wear smart, but casual, clothes.Also they are always in time with each other and all work and perform as a group .

Both Arco iris and Thudbox’s members interact with one another by listening to each other .Also Arco Iris have a conductor to make sure everyone knows who’s meant to be playing, and keeping the rhythm.

They encourage their audiance to be in the performance by; enjoying themselves , playing a catchy rhythm , by getting the audiance to clap to the beat.

Both groups are in a line so all the players can be seen by the audiance.The people with the same intruments as each other stand next , near, to each other.

Lighting is only used in one of the performances , Thudbox Bal A. Blue lights are on the drums to make them stand out fro mthe group.There is always a white light on the person playing on the xylophone-type-intrument which makes her stand out -Probably because she is keeping the beat .
Also the lights change colour on the performers- sometimes orange, sometimes blue-neon light and normal lighting.

The two performances are in different places, on the street and on a stage.But choreography and performance is basically the same .
