Monday, December 7th was Derek’s Percussion Ensemble. The group is very talented. Photo above left shows Derek in black on the right and his housemate Dave to the left in the blue shirt. The group performed 6 pieces. Derek was in 4 of them. Below are links to 3 performances. The pieces are not typically something you can hum along to but I think the kids had a lot of fun playing them.
The above piece was conducted by Dave. He is a senior this year with a major in Music Business.
Derek did not perform in the above number but it was an interesting piece if you like rhythm. The students have a high level of participation in that they conduct, create and perform in the pieces. One of the students did performance art during a piece he composed. It was too long to post to utube so you’ll have to take my word for it.
All of the kids are very dedicated to their craft and their passion for music is very clear. A pleasure to watch.
Very nice. I enjoy hearing them.
