About a year ago, I went to a drumming camp with my dad and we started talking to one of the guys (his name was Wayne) there about my idea for a show that involves visual effects. Being inspired by a flexible PVC tube I brought back from the tip shop one day, I told him that I was interested in figuring out how to make tuned,
I've sold my first composition!!!!
I recently added a new section to the website to sell my compositions and, with the help of my dad Gal Baras (check out his website), I'm really happy with the end product and it's working too!
Not too soon after I finished adding everything I got a message from one of my friend's private students who was looking for a piece to play at his school's percussion soiree. I was really glad that he was interested

After a few months of careful planning, some rehearsals and a few performances, I am proud to present ... (drum roll) ... SoundStruck Percussion. Earlier this year, a few of my percussionist friends from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music and I had an idea to form a percussion ensemble. Thanks to our university, our families and some friendly contacts, we got a few of our first gigs, from which we got some great recordings and some great videos.
Being in this group also gave me a chance
At the end of every school year, MacGregor State High School puts on a showcase of all the school’s instrumental and vocal ensembles. It’s a brilliant event that shows off beautifully what all of us can do. ‘Music at Mac’ (as it is so wonderfully named) this year was a really great thing to be a part of.

The new song is called "Adventure" and it's about (as the title suggests) having an adventure, leaving all the
