Today is the second day of having our bell in action. It's a good feeling: something WE have put out there, a product of our doing that affects all, and it is being sounded all through the high school campus. We have observed that students are enjoying the music, first by dancing to it and energizing themselves and second by getting to class on time. We noticed that the hallways were significantly clearer. I had even talked to a friend, who shall remain anonymous, say that he wants to hurry to upper campus just to make it in time to hear the music. Having such an upbeat clip of music makes a different in the demeanor of students. It makes the students happy.

The following songs were played today:
--Rolling in the Deep - Adele
--Cupid Shuffle - Cupid
--The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco
--Hello - Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette

Friends have told me that they're pretty excited for the music. Whenever the ring comes on to announce something over the PA system, they anxiously await to hear the period's picking.

However, we face the problem of volume control, first and foremost. Yesterday, some of the music was a little soft and others were a little loud. Trying to find a balanced, controlled level of volume will now be the goal. Another problem we have is duration of the music. Currently, we are playing clips for 30 seconds. There are students who want the music to be longer. This creates the problem for the teachers trying to instruct their students. Whatever, they heard this at the faculty meeting; they should know and not be salty.

Overall, we are happy with the response we are getting. It's great to hear some feedback. I hope we can continue this with positive results.
