Can someone help me narrow my presentation down?

I have to do a report on the Beach Boys

for music. I need some help narrowing

it down. I practiced and it was 2 minutes

long. I wanted it a little under.



My report was on the Beach Boys. They are an American Rock band formed in 1961 from Hawthorne California. The band started out with the 3 Wilsons, Brian, Carl, and Dennis. As they were growing up, they were influenced by their father Murry Wilson. He would play the piano every night which influenced Brian to teach his brothers the harmonies of %26quot;ivory Tower.%26quot; Family gatherings brought the Wilsons closer to Mike Love. Brian also knew Alan Jardine who played the guitar. Later, Brian, Mike, and two friends performed at Hawthorne Highschool in California. After they realized they wanted to start a band. Theif first band name was the Pendletones. Eventually, Dennis played the drums, Brian played the bas and keyboards, Carl and Alan played the guitar, and mike as the co-lead singer. In September 1961, the Pendletones auditioned for Hite and Dorinda Morgan at Stereo Masters in Hollywood. They failed the first time but made it the second time with a song change. On October 3, 1961, the Pendletones band name was changed to the Beach Boys. They have 33 albums and recorded over 100 songs. Their best singles are %26quot; Help Me Rhonda,%26quot; %26quot;Good Vibrartions,%26quot; %26quot;Surfin Safari,%26quot; and %26quot;Surfin USA.%26quot; Their best album was Pet Sounds which was released on May 16, 2966. They were known as America's first rock band%26quot; with 36 top 40 hits in the United States. The band members today are Alan Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson. Former band members were Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, David Marks, Ricky Fataar, Blondie Chaplin, and Glen Campbell. Right now, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston are on tour. Brian Wilson and Alan Jardine are touring later next year.

That's great! I'm sure we all have. How many know how they started? %26lt;pause%26gt;



Some yes, some no, but here is their story. The Beach Boys formed in 1961 in Hawthorne California. They started out with the 3 Wilsons, Brian, Carl, and Dennis. As they were growing up, they were influenced by their father Murry Wilson. He played the piano every night and was a powerful influence on Brian, who taught his brothers the harmonies of %26quot;ivory Tower.%26quot; Later, Brian, Mike, and two friends performed at Hawthorne Highschool in California, and after that they realized they wanted to start a band. They began as the Pendletones. Eventually, Dennis played the drums, Brian played the bass and keyboards, Carl and Alan played the guitar, and mike as the co-lead singer. In September 1961, the Pendletones auditioned for Hite and Dorinda Morgan at Stereo Masters in Hollywood. They failed the first time but made it the second time with a song change. On October 3, 1961, the Pendletones band name was officially changed to the Beach Boys. They now have 33 albums and recorded over 100 songs. Their best singles are %26quot; Help Me Rhonda,%26quot; %26quot;Good Vibrartions,%26quot; %26quot;Surfin Safari,%26quot; and %26quot;Surfin USA.%26quot; Their best album was Pet Sounds which was released on May 16, 1966. History will remember them as %26quot;America's first rock band%26quot; with 36 top 40 hits in the United States. The band members today are Alan Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson.

History will remember the Beach Boys as an American success story.
