This is a piece I arranged for my 6th grade percussion students at McMath Middle School in Denton, TX. They had only been playing for 8 months at the time and did really well I thought. They told me it really got them excited about music and continuing in band, so that was cool.

From Left to Right:

Kelvin Land (vibes)
Jade Biondo (bells)
Noah Williams ("drumset")
Brandon Boyzuick (xylo)
Sean Redman (me on tomtom)
Kody West (marimba)
Caleb Shafer (bass marimba).

It's good, but I'm also playing clocks on the marimba, and I'm 11 years old.

But it sounds mutch better if the person who's playing bells the same thing does as the person who's playing xyolophone.

[SeanUNT]

@Spookjhu The bells are playing the same thing as the xylophone for the melody, in every part except for the chords in the intro. Can't you tell? If I didn't have that, those chords would be missing from the piece, and it would sound too sparse.

i cant tell if that guy in the green and white shirt is suppose to be a student or teacher?



[SeanUNT]

@poptart2709 Haha, teacher, and that was me. I arranged the piece also, and was just playing the tom to kind of keep the ensemble together.

[SeanUNT]

@HerrApfelHund Well you can't play Clocks without some type of drums or percussion. It would sound ridiculous and like a lullaby without a beat.

[SeanUNT]

@Smallfrie1996 Yes....it's a percussion ensemble. What's your point?

[grimman98]

Great Job. I'm in percussion in 7th grade and our band hasn't even tried to do anything like that. Good Job.

I feel bad for the tall marimba player.. sometimes, they would pair up a 5'11" player (me) and a 5'4" player on the same instrument. Slouching has lead to the habit of me playing with incorrect posture, and it was hard for me to straighten my back when I started marching band.
