Brilliantly performed and captured the right feel and emotion of the composition. Bravo!! Not an easy piece of work.

Wow such talent and such a beautiful rendition of this song. You guys rock

absolutely amazing ;O)

Marvelous!

I’m blown away and in tears! An utterly inspiring performance and honor to Lyle and Pat.

All I can say is WOW!

Beautiful!

Tremendoooooo!!!!!!!

Meravigliosa, ma la voce solista è impercettibile e avrebbe dovuto essere molto più incisiva.

Well done, FSU Percussion Ensemble, very well done. You've helped to Make America Great Again. Thank you.

It was such an honor to play on this track! Love this song.

I am crying right now ……. This is beautiful, and a fine tribute to the masters, Pat Metheny & The late Lyle Mays ……. THE MASTERS …. You are all phenomenal, Thank you all

Oh My GOD !!!!! What a beautiful rendititon of this song. I'm 63 now, and first saw Patmetheny at University of Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1982.. Being a PM fan since around '79, this took me back. I had to close my eyes and take a breath, with a little lump in my throat. A great song & a great time back then ... Wish I could turn back the clock to that concert that night .

Bravissimi!!!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bravo!!! Fan of that song since 1983

We Mfowethu ungenzani ....Metheny

Perfeito meus parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏

Darci and Austin are probobly the best teachers and have the biggest influence on me pursuing drumming. Austin was the percussion tech for the 2023 fsu summer band camp top band and 2024 top band for highschool and although we only had a week to learn 3-4 songs and pretty much have it all memerized he helped sooooooooo much. which is why im putting him down as my "who was the person that shaped you or influenced you the most as a percussionist" for my dci heat wave audtions this year. Thank you Austin.

My favorite, upon slopping all over the vibraphone, was: “We don’t walk on eggshells in this room. We run. We run on eggshells.”

“2:30 on Wednesday…” I think you mean “7am on a Tuesday”?

Awesome music! Greetings from Finland!

WOW!!!❤

Absolutely exemplary work! Beautiful playing, ensemble chemistry, and great choices of music from some of our leading percussion composers. A great model to follow!

Let’s drop the score and start to play.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bravo !

I LOOOOOOOOOOVED this! Thank you!

Just so smooth as if effortless. And it’s anything but easy!!!!!

fsu percussion ensemble cool p..metheny art

Merely awesome.

Where did they get the Red Pants? God Bless them.

I was delighted and surprised when some vocals were added as I didn’t expect it. Bravo all around and the best compliment I can give you is that I did tear up a bit at one point. Who cannot love this song no matter how it is played?

Nice!

This is amazing

Could be truer, but then what couldn’t?

Fantastic..😂

This is such a beautifully complex, and intricate piece and you guys nailed it!

bravissimi. I listed to this masterpiece song from 1987 when I bought the CD. I will never figure out how such a celestial piece of music could be produced by human beings..so impossibly beautiful.

the best cover of this song I have ever heard! wow! RIP Lyle! Missed big time here. Hope he's resting well in the afterlife!

Beautiful! It's Art

This is just peak percussion. Especially tuned percussion. This is such a harmonically and rhythmically sophisticated piece, and you folks performed it with both brilliant technical and artistic execution. As a huge fan of Pat Metheny Group's work (shout out to the late great genius Lyle Mays), I'm stunned by what you did with this, and you should all be incredibly proud of the beauty you brought to this incredible composition.

Magic. This is one of my all-time favorite pieces and you guys nailed it in the most creative yet faithful way. Just amazing.

Wow!!! There should of been applause afterwards...🥲👍

I love the pants

I’m just curious about the rehearsal technique of efficiency in which you give feedback during the playing. I wanted to know if you think that is as effective on the younger side of ensemble rehearsal for middle school or early high school students. I had previously learned that it is difficult for younger students to take that feedback and remember it in real time while playing. The ability to jump between thoughts that quickly does not come as easily at a young age. Have you ever done in clinics with younger ensembles where you’ve noticed that disconnect?

On another important note: Pat Metheny and some of the Greats Should Be Obligated and Required at Every Music School here and abroad. Observing how the Essence of Real Music has been fading away from its very Roots and 'giving way' to this horrible, tasteless and insipid 2-3 chord "new music" (more like noise just repeating...) that just "hurts" my ears and I'm sure many, many other Music Lovers from the 60's, 70's, 80's where music grew to a form of Art Exponentially and then Rap and the rest of the garbage came along pyling up like a giant mound of filthy noise where no one could identify what was what... We Need to Do an "Archaic Revival" if True Music is to Survive in the Future.

I've heard this song by Pat over the years and each time I played it I discovered something that I've might have missed before... It always sounded 'new' to me just like Minuano or have you heard, you know, the hard ones with the most complicated and intricate tonalities. But this cover (if you can call it a "cover") more like a MasterPiece of the Original... Wow, wow, WOW..!! What a pleasant and harmonic surprise... I would never imagine that this piece could've been entirely done on Xilophones (Marimba) and Tubular Bells... Simply and Utterly Exquisite to my ears... Like Falling in Love with Pat Meheny All Over Again!!

Music education at its best. A percussion symphony playing a legendary song from master songwriters Lyle Mays and Pat Metheney brings a smile to my face. Lyle and Pat would be pleased. I hope more discover what a treasure trove of music these two have given the world.

Congrats to every one of you, this is an amazing achievement, bravo. Terrific engineering as well, just everything!!
