Flight of the Bumblebee Marimba Solo

Sterritt playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" on the Marimba for the RSD Spring Concert. I think Sue Ho took the video.

NB: Before you leave a comment, please note- I am *not* the player, I just put the video up. So if you don't like it, please refrain from attacking me personally. Keep your comments constructive.

the sheet music i have plays it differently... where did you get yours from

[DubhCion]

@MrJugglingAddict I have no idea what sheet music he was using. I'm not the musician :) This gentleman was in the flute section of the school band with me, but he also did a lot of percussion and other things. I have no idea what he's up to now, but I believe he was involved in a youth orchestra.

[Chloelawdz]

@DubhCion meh i agree with josh lol

[DeinVorbild95]

try to play chromatic that fast

[fcmilsweeper9]

Its not actually, for the most part it is but it makes it very hard to learn because you have to memorize it, you can look at the intervals. Its also quite fast and at that speed with constant notes it takes a lot of skill to actually hit the right notes.

man...its simple only chromatics...-.-...
