[smashbrolink]

When she got the audience clapping along, I wanted to jump up and clap too.XD

[sambaraua]

very good video, amazing. where I can get the sheet music?

[ClaireTheHip]

you three people like bowser better

[greg00059]

I have to say that that was amazing. The blind and blance was outstanding(comming from the video, not the stage).

[Matthill121]

wouldve been more amazing if this was all sight read XD

[LinksFan16]

this is really awesome, I really love the arrangement

[vyseskies]

very cool

[JnthnRzc]

needs more cowbell

[Billy2Teddy8]

Forest of Illusion was in there!! Awesome.. That is a brilliant arrangement right there.

[macgyversfriend]

So much color and so much excitement! Very well done.

[mussorgskii]

While there is so much good music out there (check Brian Slawson out sometime) it concerns me we are reduced to teaching students songs from video games. That being said, it was an incredible arrangement and an even more incredible performance.

[ghostlat]

I agree.. While it definitely makes me uncomfortable to see ensembles such as this performing video game music instead of the more traditional music, I believe we have to realize that as video games become more popular and more mainstream, we'll see a shift more towards that kind of music playing than the older styles. And it was a very well written arrangement and an awesome performance... So kudos to them, regardless.

[the09conradz]

This is pretty nice for percussion ensemble

[supersmackercheese]

I'm speechless. Those guys up there must have felt great.

[mariothecellist]

I liked the SMW part where they sang! It was one of the world maps.

[zeex]

3:43...so epic! lol

[KCMW95]

The Three Percussion Ensemble is better. Watch it and decide.

[kvanoene]

Lol, that's because most of the Rollins PE audience are musicians or local percussionists. The rest have good rhythm or they just don't clap!

[Chillbee]

i didn't know there were 14 minutes worth of music lol. beth is ah-mazing.

[apkanne]

my old drumline guy is in this!

[7ChibiTetsu7]

Omg its so epically AWESOME! Shiiit simply amazing man! GOOD JOB SRSLY! And I rly liked the song where everyone started clapping. Its like around 3:00. Whats the song called?? Does anybody know?

[Jostanos]

Great arrangement guys! 5/5

Parts 1 and 2 compliment each other well.

Please keep up the good work! ^^

[peterburns69]

That was totally one of the COOLEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!

[pizzacheese94]

i really like this!i wish my middle school band could do it.we suck

[crissbones]

OMG!!!!

The last song was Super Mario Bros. 2 Ending/Credits!!!

That was so beautiful!!!

What an Excellent piece to end it with!!!

[thraxnayel]

that was insane i wish our percussion people could pull that off for indoor percussion next year lol

[kvanoene]

Do you know Beth Gottlieb? Obviously not. How about her husband, Danny Gottlieb. Try doing a search on them. Then go run away.

[elmemo18]

orale que buen ensamble hacen los felicito, soy de mèxico y soy percusionista , bueno estudio para ello, quisiera pedirles un gran favor, me pasan las partituras ?

[drum1dude]

there is really great, i would love to hear something else from this group.

[DakasElVago]

WOW.....!!!!!

[bencss]

I want to cry...

[soicandothattoo]

shes... okay, but too dictator-y + has favorites, etc. most people in band agree with you though.

[percussionisto]

Go to Vic Firth's Website Gary Burton (who Burton grip is named for) teaches the key technical points of the grip and what to focus on. About the best thing to an instructor that knows something to teach you. If there is a Drum Corp Near you Go to auditions and learn as much as you can. Work with a pad and drum sticks as much as possible. All percussion is related once you learn key principles. Good luck

[soicandothattoo]

our band director is kinda horrible. :[] meh its okay. we're learning. slowly but progressing

[soicandothattoo]

i wish at least one person knew how to play double mallets. how does one learn anyway? through internet? are there such things as mallet private lessons?

[thomasdenivele]

watch the 2nd video. the vibe player is performing 4 mallets.

[multipleoranges45]

what the?! of course there are lessons to teach you how to play percussion! It's simple anyway; hold one in between your swearing fingers and the other one with the remaining fingers and thumb. Well there are lots of different ways of holding them but theats the one I was taught. But just Google percussion lessons and you'll get loads of results.

[c1981]

The Timpani player has got some mad skills, with the accurate changing of the picthes

[ykkb1030]
