Bonus Assignment: "O Canada" - THE REMIX

As you know, we have a variety of versions of "O Canada" on our morning announcements. So, why not create our own?

Ms. Simmons has placed a basic version the melody to "O Canada" in the share folder. The access path is:

1013 (on desktop) --> 1013 Stu --> SIMMONS AMM --> "O Canada"

Use this as your base file, and go from there. Of course, the original melody must be audible the whole way though, but other than that, be creative! You can play with the genre, etc, as you wish!
