Firework by jimlapbap

Earlier I posted the song 'Firework' by Katy Perry. You can click HERE if you've not seen it.

Well... here's an Acappella version that I thought was quite good. 
It's a jazzed up version which could be used as an intro to the actual song.

Fireworks or Firecrackers Comic Strip ~ ST, 2011 Dec 28, Wed...

There's a bit of a Father-Son humor in this comic strip.

Also... when I saw this comic strip if reminded me that Chinese New Year 2012 is just around the corner...
and also of a fun percussive acappella music arrangement I did called 'Chinese New Year Fire-Crackers'.

This is also the comic strip I enjoyed the most on this day. You can read the rest of them after you read this one.

And here are the rest that came with the one above. Enjoy!

Sheet Music Score ~ Chinese New Year Fire-Crackers

Firecrakers using hand claps.

I arranged this somewhere between 1999 & 2001.

Historical Note: There was a time when the sound of fire-crackers
were very familiar during Chinese New Year. Now, we can have the
sound of fire-crackers minus the fire-hazard and minus the littering.

Visual Notes: For added reality, a gala(or long bambu pole) may be used
to carry the mocked fire-crackers. A smoke machine may also be used.

Audio Notes: 'Cupped Fingers', clapped over a 'Cupped Palm', creates a loud
piercing sound, which imitates the sound of a single fire-cracker. Watching the
Conductor is very important as the tempo is varied from beat-to-beat to put
each clap (or fire-cracker), closer or further apart. Use as many people as
possible and allow for some break in rhythm for that random exploding effect.
