she seriously learned this instrument/routine for 6 months before the pageant and I can tell. I guarantee she hasn't touched the instrument in her life until she realized she had to do something for the talent bit of the pageant. laem.
Her technique was not too good. and she should had played more dynamics to change up the music. and she hardly used her double mallets when she had them in her hands... She like only used the double mallets in her left hand to roll on chords every now and then... I didnt like this performance. It was too plain and boring. And that CLANK! ugh.... :(
My college roommate in '92 was her marimba teacher. You should have heard her before she took a couple of lessons. We watched it live and just laughed until we vomited. Good times.
give it up lady, you absolutely have now feeling, talent, tecnique and whatever you need to call yourself a good marimba player/musician, and you'll never have/be..sorry
Was that... was that a stevens grip? In pit we could at least 100 pushups if we played anything like that and or murdered the grip that way. This is disgusting.
It weird because she can mover her hands pretty fast for her rolls, but oh my god, is every bar cracked after that? I could have sworn I saw her playing with rocks. Sorry, the marimba is not for you. Your better off helping kids with Ebola in africa.
yeah looks like someone taught her that a week before the competition. i was prepared to be amazed and proud that a percussionists made it to the miss america competition, but i was terribly disappointed =(
don't be so demanding ! this is a miss contest or something similar. She is courageous to play in fron of a big audience !...:) To judge you have to consider the background. Good job Carrie!
@fhssnare here's another perspective on that: are the chicks who perform in front of thousands and thousands of people who know what real percussion skill is at DCI or WGI or what not supposed to play this way? i think not.
her 4 mallet technique is awful and its making me cry a little. her thumbs aren't on top, she needs to watch her perch's, she's using to much arm, i bet there's more i didn't catch but it was only like 15 seconds long. i'm not trying to be mean or snobbish but i just had to comment on that
how was that even funny.... i know she played it horribly but i expected her to take the mallet and start punishing herself cuz she sucked so much....
LMAO
so terrible...
