Aquila

​Bio
​​Aquila is currently in grade 9 at All Saints. He has been playing the violin since he was 5, and singing since he was 8. He also knows how to play the alto & soprano sax. In his free time, he is currently teaching himself to play the piano. Aquila’s favorite musical group is the a capella group Pentatonix. He loves their skill and how they can make a song sound so full using only 4 or 5 voices. Aquila's goal for vocal class was to learn how to play the bassm which he accomplished.

  • Story Behind the Song: I'm not very good at creative writing, so to get my song topic, I looked around me. In the music room, above the door there's a sign that says "Spit Happens", and I thought that that would be an interesting topic.

​Song Notation


(Verse)
He ran into a door,

got a gigantic splinter,

got stuck doing chores

and got frostbite in the winter


(Chorus)
So if you're walking around,

with a angry frown

don't feel down,

Spit happens


(Verse)
She got run over by a car

And got stuck liicking a pole

Burnt her hand on a cigar

And got her hand bit off by mole


(Chorus)
So if you're walking around,

with a angry frown

don't feel down,

Spit happens


​
So if you're walking around,

with a angry frown

don't feel down,

Spit happens
