Leapin’ Leopards ~ The Louisville Leopard Percussionists' Spotlight on the Groove group

The Louisville Leopard Percussionists' 2nd & 3rd grade Spotlight on the Groove group performing Leapin' Leopards at our BiG GiG, April 21, 2024.
Leapin' Leopards is a piece we commissioned as part of a grant through South Arts written by former Fabulous Leopard Percussionists and the drummer for Prince, Hannah Ford Welton. This song's title is a nod to her mamaw, who could never remember the name of our group. This grant is made possible with the support of Jazz Road, a national initiative of South Arts, which is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with additional support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The Louisville Leopard Percussionists is a non-profit organization offering extracurricular music opportunities to local children. Please help us keep our program going by donating at www.leopardmusi....
The Louisville Leopard Percussionists began in 1993. They are a performing ensemble of student musicians, ages 7-18, living in and around Louisville, Kentucky. Each student learns and acquires proficiency on several instruments, such as marimbas, xylophone, vibraphone, drum set, timbales, congas, bongos, and piano.
