Press 7 on the video to make the soloist dance.

In my state, a 1 rating is "excellent", 2 is "good", etc. Lots of people get 1 ratings, so I was by no means first. You can think of a 1 rating as being like an A letter grade. You have to get a 1 at the regional level to advance to state, and the goal is to get a 1 at state. You get a little blue ribbon and everything.

Best Concertino for Marimba Performance Ever!!! I looked at the other videos of people playing this piece and they may be older but they suck compared to you! You technical and musical skills are astounding and I would love to hear the other movements from you! WELL DONE!
