Reduce, Re-use, Replay

This is a press article, taken from the magazine Time for Kids. It was published on April 20^th 2012. It deals with a band / group of teens / teenagers who play music with instruments made out of garbage. Indeed, the band is called The Garbage Men: there are five of them, all are 15 or 16 (years old) and they had this idea of recycling garbage to turn it into musical instrument. They live in Florida, in the USA and they perform in local events or in the streets. With the money they raise, they help charities.

When you listen to them, you can notice that they with the five of them, they managed to represent different instruments to make an orchestra: two guitars, a violin, drums and a keyboard. The quality of the music is average because they produce sounds which are too high. Of course, with garbage, it’s not easy but at least they are trying, even if the tunes are repetitive.
