• Describes the jazz orchestra's opening song, "broadway," arranged by sammy nestico, as a "real swinger" because of its rhythmic coherence, groove, and "feel."
• Analyzes how thad jones' "this bass was made for walking" reminded them of jessica simpson's "these boots are made for walking."
• Explains that the final selection performed by the orchestra was "that old black magic," arranged by mark taylor. the vocalist, candace declue, performed hand gestures to go along with the lyrics.
• Opines that attending the jazz concert was worth it because they got the chance to experience a different type of music genre.
• Explains that they chose to write about one of their favorite childhood movies by walt disney, "the lion king." the lion cub is anxious to become king of the jungle, but his uncle, scar, plans to kill mufasa and simba.
• Analyzes how the color of the mark on simba's forehead was re-orange. the sun uses two types of hues: the center uses yellow and the sun rays uses orange-yellow.
• Analyzes how scar's plan to kill mufasa leads to simba leaving the pride land and going into the wilderness. scar announces himself as the new king of the land.
• Analyzes how simba becomes friends with a meerkat named timon and warthog named pumbaa, which creates an irregular psychological balance in the film.
• Analyzes how the stream transforms into mufasa and uses wavy lines to create movement.
• Analyzes how simba becomes empowered by a new sense of identity and races back to the pride land. scar tries to persuade him that he was not the cause for all of the bad that had happened.
• Opines that the lion king film is not just an animated walt disney film but an inspirational movie. it has a lot of meaning for example, life lessons.
