And right now, you probably are much better, so I recommend learning the solo piece "Spanish Dances" and "Parody". I would tell you the composers, but i forgot sorry.
"I had negative 50 seconds to learn it and get it perfect or I'd fail music school and I didn't in negative 10 seconds perfect so I'm the best and I feel better about me." I can't believe some of the comments on this piece. You did great. I have to learn this for an audition and have no clue where to start. So I turned to this video.
Very nice!! I'm packing up my marimba, and lost the sheet music to this piece years ago so thought I'd look this up, I remember when I was learning this piece back in high school. Still love the sound of the marimba just don't have time to use it being away at college. Hopefully the local high school can use it rather than it sitting in my basement. Excellent job!
Guys, this was posted 8 years ago. I think she's moved on past Yellow After The Rain lol I may be mistaken, but I think the time for critique on this has long since passed lol
Wow! That was amazing!!! I just started learning Four mallets and I actually played this for my first Jury. I got a standing ovation, but then I'm the only mallet percussionist at my college and most people are amazed with two mallet work. This blew me out of the water!!! Your accuracy and clarity was awesome! MAJOR Kudos! Keep up the great work!!!
Yall realize this was after only two months of learning the piece right? This piece was played pretty dang well for the timeframe. Yeah, i'm sure many people could play better than that, but that is because they are more experienced. For someone to play a piece that well like i said in only 2 months is still impressive. Plus she wasn't practicing it 24/7 either
haha hit enter too soon.... Your technical skill is astounding - GREAT one-hand rolls! I was very impressed, you played the ink right up until the (INTENSELY DIFFICULT!) end :) A job well done! Truly beautiful work.
Great job!!!! That was also my first four mallet piece. I am fifteen years old and I am also in the pit in my marching band. I am now on my second piece ( Rain dance) and will be continuing on my journey of marimbas!!! haha. seriously though keep working at it! - Drew
that piece is genius!.. the thuth is that not every percussionist can play it!... and you... with a few months, you do it so well that other persons I met... even my teacher of percussion... congratulations... sorry for the bad english... un abrazo desde Venezuela...
it sounded nice. i've heard it played before, but then again it was by a senior who spent most of his time on the marimba for hours at a time. it sounds good.
It is great!!!! i'm learning how to plat this piece and it's harder than i thought...... Also, i can't get over the fact that there is like 14 keyboard instruments all around. It's so cool lol
This might be one of my favorite four mallet pieces ever! My friend did this last year as a solo, and he's also doing Virginia Tate. Great job playing!
Wow! This is really good for your first four mallet piece. I just started learning four mallets this year, and my stuff isn't that clean yet. You're doing great! You've even inspired me to practice more. :) Good blessings on future pieces!
Oh my God!! You should definitely take out the part that says it's not perfect. I am a sophomore in college and that was also my first four mallet piece and you definitely did WAY better than I did at my recital. Amazing job. Mitch would be proud.
I would absolutely love to get the chance to play this piece again. 1:20 to about 2:06 took me FOREVER to get right. That part hurt my fingers a lot. I got a 1 on it at Solo and Ensemble when I played it my 8th grade year. ((: You played Wonderfully!
I thought about doing that as a solo my senior year, but I figured out it was SIXTEEN pages long! D: eff that haha, i might do Rain Dance, that one sounds cool :D
I've watched lots of UA-cam clips of this piece, and this is by far my favourite. I think lots of people take this far too fast. Trying to get to grips with it myself, but after 10 minutes my fingers hurt...
oh my gosh!! thats awesome!!! i learned this i think in 7th or 8th grade...bu ti didnt i even learn the whole thing.... you did really good!!!! :D i love girl Percussionists like myself!!
very nice performance! I'm a total Pit Nerd! My main advice for you right now is to watch your third mallet during the 1,3,2,4 chord section. I'm learning this right now with you! Good luck :D
Good job I'm playing this too. Just got it two weeks ago and I got down lik u do. I suprise myself how fast I grasped to this. I'll b sure to post a video so u all can see me play it too. O yeh and I'm black
===OOOO... you play de marimba absolutly amazing!!... you're pretty and a good percusionist... is too much!!... jajaja.. un saludo desde Venezuela...=) I love this piece... the marimba is the BEST!...
HER FIRST 4 MALLET PIECE ! WTF ! THAT WAS AMAZING ! your technique is simply outstanding ! and note accuracy was extreamly high aswell ! im jelous ! can u please try teardrops by mitchel peters ! Youd sound lovely playing that too ! its only 3 mallets to but there is similair 4 mallet versions of it !
this is awsome im a freshman in highschool and this is the first piece on 4 mallets ive played. im on the permintation part after the run and i learned it in less than 4 hours of practice. im hoping by the time im in college ill be able to play mutch harder things than this. to what i heard you only missed a few notes and need to work on balance of all the mallets i hear the 1st mallet sticking out in parts other than that great job!
wow I'm impressed the first time i heard that it was played by Dr. Brannon from Mansfield University and I haven't heard it played so good since then you are really talented and god I hate you for that haha.
When I got this solo like some weeks ago I was like "oh pretty simple and awesome" When I saw at what tempo was this I was like OMG D: But I can Do it in a month! :D
hey real good job, im a freshman and my teacher told me that i would be playing yellow after the rain for solo, and i was scared shitless. but yeah nice job
You really practiced that a lot didn't ya?:P You did a really good job:O I just started with 4 mallets myself to. I first did some technique and now i have to play this one and another piece ( Jonathan's Light ). But you really did a good job on this one :P Keep up the good work ! Rinze
This was an honor band audition piece this year and i just love the beginning part of this four mallet piece!
And right now, you probably are much better, so I recommend learning the solo piece "Spanish Dances" and "Parody". I would tell you the composers, but i forgot sorry.
ahh, learning four mallets. the pain on your ring fingers is a feeling you will never forget!
"I had negative 50 seconds to learn it and get it perfect or I'd fail music school and I didn't in negative 10 seconds perfect so I'm the best and I feel better about me."

Great job! It's 2017; if you're still playing, you must be incredible!!!
Guys, this was posted 8 years ago. I think she's moved on past Yellow After The Rain lol

Well gee I thought that was a timpani. Good thing she told me it was a marimba.
I'm apparently playing this, this year. Last year I played Waves, and that was ... simple. This haw more to it! Can't wait to master it!
That was wonderful! I'm playing this piece this year for my solo and ensemble
It's plenty fast. Very expressive. You have a great feel for dynamics. Very cool.
Great job. This is the best playing of this piece I've seen on UA-cam.
Yall realize this was after only two months of learning the piece right? This piece was played pretty dang well for the timeframe.

I loved this song so much.
Well done! Makes me want to go practice marimba some.
Nice Job!, i would reccomend Rain Dance as your next solo, it is a fun piece, and challenging
Great job!!!! That was also my first four mallet piece. I am fifteen years old and I am also in the pit in my marching band. I am now on my second piece ( Rain dance) and will be continuing on my journey of marimbas!!! haha. seriously though keep working at it!

Great job!! I'm learning this piece right now and I can't wait until I learn the whole thing. :)
Excellent job. One of the best on UA-cam. I want to hear the "better" one. Haha
That performance was awesome!
I'm learning this right now and have a really low self-esteem so I'm not doing to well but hearing will surely help me.
gacho! thats freaking good. nicely done. i wish had chops like that
Great job! True talent!
that piece is genius!.. the thuth is that not every percussionist can play it!... and you... with a few months, you do it so well that other persons I met... even my teacher of percussion... congratulations... sorry for the bad english... un abrazo desde Venezuela...

That's really excellent, thumbs up all the way!
Great job! I am preforming this for my solo & ensemble competion this year, and I'm in 8th grade!
I played this last year, I thought it was so fun! :) Good job!
That was my first four mallet piece too. I still like it.
wow i'm learning that piece right now and i am really slow you were amazing! and to do it from memory was even better
this was my first solo for marimba as well. you played really well...keep it up!
Wow you play it really fast!! It's great, I wish my rolls were as seamless as yours.
Why yes! I cannot do that! Mad skills to say the least!
How Sweet!!!! O.O
Im in love!!!

that was extremely well-played. congrats, i loved it. =)
Omg, you're so good. That's SOOO good for your first 4 mallets piece :)
It is great!!!! i'm learning how to plat this piece and it's harder than i thought...... Also, i can't get over the fact that there is like 14 keyboard instruments all around. It's so cool lol
this is an amazing vid, i showed to my friend he's a junior and playing this on tuesday. great job playing. upload other vid lol
This might be one of my favorite four mallet pieces ever! My friend did this last year as a solo, and he's also doing Virginia Tate. Great job playing!

I love the fact that your mallets are actually yellow, this piece is awesome :)

1:20 to about 2:06 took me FOREVER to get right. That part hurt my fingers a lot.
I got a 1 on it at Solo and Ensemble when I played it my 8th grade year. ((:
You played Wonderfully!
That was awesome, I'm so jealous of your technique :)
I have to second that. Nobody on UA-cam seems to want to get the notes right. Very nice job!
5/5
VERY WELL DONE!
bravo Brandi x]
I found this video totally out of the blue lmao
hey, i have to learn this song for a solo competition and its a great example!
I thought about doing that as a solo my senior year, but I figured out it was SIXTEEN pages long! D: eff that haha, i might do Rain Dance, that one sounds cool :D
Good luck in future, this piece is amazing , show girls can be a good percussionist ;)
I did this for my solo this year(freshmen), and im actually taking it to state :D this is pretty good,, good job :)

I've watched lots of UA-cam clips of this piece, and this is by far my favourite. I think lots of people take this far too fast. Trying to get to grips with it myself, but after 10 minutes my fingers hurt...

Dang and I have to learn this in a couple months for Solo and Ensemble. Dang I didnt think eight grade would have something like this.
Good job I'm playing this too. Just got it two weeks ago and I got down lik u do. I suprise myself how fast I grasped to this. I'll b sure to post a video so u all can see me play it too. O yeh and I'm black
