Dear Cam,
many thanks for continuing the tradition of musical excellence that was established many years ago by Lamar Burkhalter in the area of percussion. It's delightful that you're focusing on concert percussion rather than that of marching. The students are very receptive to your thoughts as is exemplified by their wonderful musical renderings. Bravo!

I love this ensemble so much. Last year we got a 1 on it and were able to get a 1 at state, definitely an ensemble i hope every percussionist can experience.

[@SC4RRL3TT]

the toms and timpani are doing the most work, change my mind

[@dineshjanapati6511]

[@instaQuest21]

Okey

[@jacksonreid6412]

The “Engine Room” of this piece consists of three players:
-The snare/gong player
-The tom player
-The timpani player
They all three have similar parts

[@tylerdedrick125]

I played the tom part back in my 7th grade percussion ensemble

[@user-rp2wb4yb2w]

Yea I’m in 7th and playing them for our ensemble

[@satanismybish2330]

I love this song so much and they played it so well, I hope our group will play it as well as they did.

The guys in our rival middle school played this. It's low-key fire.
