I rebranded the social media sites to give them a Christmas theme and made sure to promote the show extensively on the different platforms we used. I then set up another ticketing site for people to get their tickets on. I and Lucy made the programme with the help of a graphic design tutor and I then started work on a poster to use in college. We wanted to keep similar branding to our last performance promotional material as it will be more recognizable and &#8216;Live Wire&#8217; will get a name for itself better if the aesthetic stays similar. This is the final design: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23-724x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3218\" width=\"314\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23-1448x2048.png 1448w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23-1200x1698.png 1200w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10626680\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/279\/2022\/01\/MicrosoftTeams-image-23.png 1587w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 314px) 85vw, 314px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rehearsals<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"??\u26c4?\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s43Nv54Ycp8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

The sound could have been better and I feel didn&#8217;t do the performance justice, however, we still played confidently. The main thing my groups need to work on would probably be timing, as with both bands we seem to be rushing whilst other members of the band are still playing to the tempo which makes the songs sound messy. We could also work on crowd interaction and engagement to give the performance a personal level for Sunday chaos&#8217; set. I think the final song sounds really good, I think improving on this would just be everyone working independently on their parts so we perform better as a group for the final performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Performance Livestream<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h6 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>The show could not be done due to rising COVID_19 cases, but instead, we filmed the performance.
