 approximately ten more atsiawoperformed drum and dance sequences (compositions or styles)

 the lead drummer then returned to group styles. Soon, he signaled for a break in the action by playing the special ending figure.
Break

Performance resumed
 vuloloslow drumming (slow-paced songs), the processional section of Agbekor
 vutsotsoeup-tempo section (fast-paced songs)
 adzokpithe solos section


  • After a brief rest, they did another sequence of group figures at slow and fast pace, followed by individual display. . . .

  • Although a performance of Agbekor follows a definite pattern, it is not rigidly formalized.



Answer to Question 2

 Relatively few villages have preserved their heritage of Agbekor . . . rather it is being carried on by drum and dance societies of several types: mutual aid organizations, school and civic youth groups, and theatrical performing companies.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
