saturday, april 17 performance?

There is a chance that Uri-Nuri can perform with Freedom Sounds (Ms. Lee's drumming group) on Saturday, April 17 in south LA. The performance will be in the morning around 11am, so we would need to meet at school earlier to get ready and drive over. We have two practice before the performance so let's work hard to prepare for this performance!

our second performance!

we have been requested to perform at the grand opening of our parent center tomorrow! i'm so proud of you all! i can't believe we have been practicing with our drums strapped on. it's very difficult but all of you are doing very well! =) tomorrow's performance will be smooth, just play what you know. pretty soon you will be able to do a full performance with the drums strapped on, and we can make our grand entrance and play poongmul the way it is meant to be played!

thank you to mrs. relosa for going out to get the cloths/straps for our uri-nuri members!

moving on up!

uri-nuri is becoming professional! we've practiced twice now with the drums strapped on. time to start dancing and drumming at the same time! check out our practice:


we're so excited to practice with our drums on!

happy lunar new year!

happy lunar new year (feb. 14) and happy year of the tiger!

uri-nuri members weren't able to join in on the "jishinbalpki" this year due to the rain, but next year we should definitely try again! thank you to the dedicated students who showed such interest! =)

congratulations!!!

Congratulations to all the members of Uri-Nuri! What wonderful performances you had yesterday and today! Yesterday's dress rehearsal in front of the whole school was so beautiful. Today's performance for the parents was even more beautiful. You all played very very well. I still can't believe how well you played after just a few practices! I'll show you the video at this Friday's practice.

Remember to bring something to share at the potluck if you can! We will be celebrating at 1:00pm in the MPR.

A BIG BIG thank you goes out to all the parents who helped out with our performance yesterday and today! It would not have been possible without the help of the amazing Mrs. Borbe and Mrs. Relosa!

last practice before our performance!

YES, we do have practice this Friday, even though it's Parent Conference Week! Please come for our last practice before we have to perform on Monday AND Tuesday!

We are thinking of having a holiday party for Uri-Nuri on Friday, December 18, so keep an eye out for updates. =) Keep practicing!

Great practice!

We had such a great practice session today! You all are so amazing! We're definitely ready to perform for our school winter holiday assembly. I'm very proud of how you all are progressing in your drumming.

Just remember, we still do have regular practice next Friday during the week of parent conferences.

For the performance, we are playing these goots (rhythms):

1. In-sa goot (greeting)
2. Ban Poong Ryu
3. Hwimori
4. In-sa goot

We'll do great! Keep practicing and I'll see you all next Friday!
