Hello everyone, On behalf of my fellow percussionists, we appreciate all the support that this video's received. We never expected it to get over 100k views, but here we are. To answer a few common questions that I've seen: The song is Offenbach vs Liszt (arranged by Chris Brooks). The song goes between the Can Can, and Hungarian Rhapsody #2. The boomwhackers are hitting 2x8 pieces of wood, with tops of carpeting. We had someone make them specifically for the piece. Thanks again for all the support, Scott (5th from the right, the one with the newspaper)
@ProFriend this group was our high school percussion section at the annual Drummin’ with the Monkey show at Waukee High School. This show was a one-off (only performed at two shows the same day), but the actual Drummin’ with the Monkey was an annual show from roughly 2000-2016. It ended after my senior year when our percussion instructor stepped down from his position and his replacements opted to not continue the shows.
The percussion always screws around... it's just how they roll, it's in their blood, apparently. And then, we get stuff like this video. Or, in my experience, yelled at a lot for the percussion screwing around... sometimes, it works out for the best.
@@embrezar LOL yeah! I am a bass drum player and i have gotten the saxophones infront of the bass section in trouble multiple times for making noise. IDK my band teacher got mad at the sax players for making bass drum sounds, but i wasn't gonna complain XD
My band teacher isn't afraid to put the percussion in the front but only if there not doing anything or are getting ahead/not doing it right because our band teacher let's us screw around
@ProfessorPeterMSchiekele (sp?) looks like something that #PDQBach would approve of, if not have instigated if he had access to these boomwhackers back in the day.
We often use BOOMWHACKERS during The Dementia music -therapy sessions at which I volunteer. They sometimes ‘confuse ‘ our participants, who occasionally think they have to BLOW down the tubes, but what ever we do, everyone has lots of fun with them. But this group has taken boomwhacker-playing to a different level! These guys are all superb musicians and much praise must go to the arranger of this piece. The comedic element they display, is superb, too. What a truly positive and uplifting video this is!! Barbara Van Doren , LONDON.
I have sat here for about five minutes trying to think of the words to convey how content I feel after watching this video. It was simply... exquisite.
A mix of Offenbach's Can-Can and Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody. Really wonderful production! Shame on the 292 people who gave this a thumbs-down! I guess they just don't appreciate classical music and hard work... as of 17 May 2019.
I don't know why this popped up in my feed 6 years later, but I was really hoping for a key change where they all had to swap out their boomwhackers at the same time. That would have been a really nice bit of choreography!
Beyond brilliant was so well thought out an with such a good sense of humor, theater, worthy of Monty Python brought a whole new edge to a classic , Lord only knows how much they had to practice , If the people of this planet would take more time on creative works such as this I think no one would ever go without, just the shear concept.
I'm so hooked on this stuff! I would love to see how they train to sequence and think. The precision is delightful. Wonderful work! Take those lessons with you.
Fab stuff. Weirdly wonderful music gift to have. It does make me wonder what I've just watched in these last few minutes though, but definitely a different inspirational take on the classical wonder. I truly love the one with the green in the middle, they have the fun job of making the last note time in very well indeed. Kudos for making the last five minutes of watching this all the more enjoyable!
that was incredible. what timing and composing - and the choreography was terrific. that must have taken quite a lot of rehearsing. the dancing mime was so good! you can’t have fun til you know your work backwards and forwards! wonderful job. thanks! 🌷🌿🪘🌀🛢🌼🌱
I have no idea how I found this. It is wonderful. I started by looking for the United States Marine Corps Band. My wife and I joke that every time we start looking at TH-cam, we keep clicking links and in just a few minutes we are watching Morris Dancing.
If the 3 stopped ever did music this would have been it. I love watching yall. You do great songs and have fun doing and y'all make me laugh. Thanks and keep up the great job
Person's without rhythm need not apply!! Marvelous and wish we could have also heard a serious, popular musical composition, tighter camera shot, and masks off!
Just watched my first boomwhacker thing on yt a minute ago, this is 2nd now, ffs where didf i miss this??? What tuneful fun! That was nothing short of amazing, laughing and enjoying, don't get much better for a stab at an algorithm's choice, glad i found this. Cheers to all on an old thread/post, it all be good :)
I feel for the two in the middle who only had like eight notes each in the entire piece. It’s hard to be the ones to have those kind of parts, for a lot of reasons, but these guys were amazing. xD

When the music teacher has a box of these when you walk in, you know it’s gonna be a good day
Sadly we just had a box of recorders
We always had these out, yet we barely used them.
This. And Lincoln Logs...
On this episode of “What Will Quarantine Bring Me Today?”
It's 4 years...
I love that they were all having fun doing it, I guess if your instrument is boomwhackers you can’t take you’re self too seriously
Any time your boomwhaking your taking it seriously 🤣
You just *slap*
Can you imagine like a suit and tie “professional” boomwhacker concert 😂
Yourself
I know there's 99.9% chance you're joking (in which case, thank you) but in case or that 0.1%, you know that's not actually their instrument, right?

Scott Macarthy lThank you for a totally awesome piece of comedy.
@@colinsmith9254 glad you enjoyed the piece. Thanks for watching!
Scott, who is this group, and where did the performance take place? Was this a one-off?
@ProFriend this group was our high school percussion section at the annual Drummin’ with the Monkey show at Waukee High School.

This made me laugh and I really needed a giggle thanks for posting
Don't you just love it when you get lost in TH-cam and you find a gem like this ?
Jeepers Scoob yes 100%
"Pachelbel's Chicken."
You're welcome :)
That’s exactly the wat i came here😂
YES
Yes indeed quite hilarious I love straight no chasers music
Nobody:

@@embrezar At one point I started working out in the percussion section because we weren’t doing anything
@@embrezar LOL yeah! I am a bass drum player and i have gotten the saxophones infront of the bass section in trouble multiple times for making noise. IDK my band teacher got mad at the sax players for making bass drum sounds, but i wasn't gonna complain XD
You called?

I half-expected the big guy to twirl his around and say "hello there, general kenobi"
Don't worry, it's you're friendly neighbor hood boomwhacker cult
Can I join?
Imagine if bands of these started appearing out of nowhere? Thay would be so cool lol
That was a lot of fun. Not sure how I got here and don't really care - I just enjoyed that.
s10m0t10n me either really. I agree tho, it was fun to listen and watch
Turtle on a Fence post
Yes, agree.
No one knows how we got here it just happened but who cares the shit is wild
If youre like me you ended up going down a rabbit hole of boomwhackers
1:12 is the most abstract "size doesn't matter" joke I've ever seen.
So abstract i can't get it. Its more like "size actually matters"
@@paulsernine5302 yes, that's the joke
The algorithm works in mysterious ways, and every once in a while, it gives you a little unexpected gold nugget like this.
i love all the mini performances packed/hidden in one big performance very entertaining.
@ProfessorPeterMSchiekele (sp?) looks like something that #PDQBach would approve of, if not have instigated if he had access to these boomwhackers back in the day.
your comment is old at this point, but i have to say this: It also keeps you focused on not just the music, but their antics...
The person that thought up this group is a genius! Would have loved to do this in school.
Agree 😁
Better than hand bells.
Yes they certainly were.

What a truly positive and uplifting video this is!! Barbara Van Doren , LONDON.
I really like to imagine this was out of left field in the middle of a different performance and at first the audience was all, "Dafuq?"
You're definitely not wrong, it caught a lot of people off-guard
I swear, these guys are f***ing HILARIOUS!!! I can't get enough of them. They need to do more. :P
I have sat here for about five minutes trying to think of the words to convey how content I feel after watching this video.
It was simply... exquisite.
This kids are comedy gold. From the silly stuff happening during the song, before the song, even after the song. Fantastic.
this is probably one of my favorite ensembles from that year (I'm the second one in from the right of the stage😊)
I watched this way to many times!
❤❤❤❤ I just love this
Oh and y'all did so well!!!
I dont see why people would dislike this, its a bunch of people having fun making music

The pieces in the video are Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 (more specifically the finale) by Franz Liszt and Can Can by Offenbach. You're welcome.
Orpheus In The Underworld...
Ok, I've seen Boomwhackers before and used them bu tthat was downright entertaining! Loved it! Bravo!
Yay for Boomwhackers across the world!
Owes a bit to both a tube-based skit in "Stomp" and Blue Man Group, but still a blast!
This old time are gold time... Team its super concert... Gratts and greets from Poland...
** THIS ** is the reason i keep the internet on.
thank you dennis carlson, wherever you are.
How did I get here? I needed a video on getting rid of an intrusive alligator and now I’m here.
Kalani Rio DO YOU HAVE A SQUATER. LMFAO
That made me laugh 😂
So... Did this meet your expectations?
So, ... How went it with the intrusive alligator? I want the details.
you wound up here because the best way to get rid of an intrusive alligator is to surf youtube while waiting for the alligator to leave.

2015: Nope.

2017: Still nope.
2018: **forgets**
2019: Oh yeah, that one.... not yet.
2020: NOW!
wildcardNS dude, just stop. This joke isn’t funny, and it’s overused.
@@distressed_smoliv2695 disagree
Shut the fuck uppppp
Disagree
@@distressed_smoliv2695 thats like your opinion
The girl that was smacking the boomwacker had me dead 😂
Definitely needs more views. Charming and entertaining!
I’ve fallen into the boom whacker hole. Thanks for 2.1k likes. I guess boom whackers are still just as addicting as I remember😂
RT
Mother of all Felines same
SAME
Same! Help me 😂
Mother of all Felines same wtf is happening
Holy shit, the comedy work in this is just hilarious! Props to whoever directed the little funny moments, in addition to the musical director.
I haven't heard that name in 2 years, I loved playing them
6 years later and I am still listening, thank you, great stuff

This is the kind of thing youtube was meant for folks.
I had as much of a fun time watching as the "Boomwhackers" had performing. Well done all. Thank you
I saved this and still get great enjoyment every single time I watch it!! Which has been for at least 2 years!!
Fab stuff. Weirdly wonderful music gift to have. It does make me wonder what I've just watched in these last few minutes though, but definitely a different inspirational take on the classical wonder.

This video needs more love. That was great!
👍
Geez - not just great musicians, but great entertainers too - had everyone laughing the whole way.
Hahaha, I love it! XD Don't know how I got here like the rest of you guys but I'm glad I'm here!
I could stand to see a LOT more of this stuff...it's amazing what you find when you're lost on TH-cam!
Fell down the rabbit hole and landed here. Awesome!
Now that's America's Got Talent worthy! :)
They are so precious. I wanna rewatch.
Clever, excellent and fun. Very cool.
that was incredible. what timing and composing - and the choreography was terrific. that must have taken quite a lot of rehearsing. the dancing mime was so good! you can’t have fun til you know your work backwards and forwards! wonderful job. thanks! 🌷🌿🪘🌀🛢🌼🌱
This is the best thing I've seen in a long time. The whole performance was great!
That was very entertaining and better then some of the acts I seen on BGT
I just found this video and have to tell you how amazing it is! I've watched it about 12 times, trying to catch everything.
So much fun to watch and to hear! Well done!!
Scott McCarthy.......thought of a career in percussion trading....this was both funny and musically very talented...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You should all recreate this at your school reunion however may years later! Great job and I applaud you all!
i love all the mini performances packed/hidden in one big performance very entertaining
I have no idea how I found this. It is wonderful. I started by looking for the United States Marine Corps Band. My wife and I joke that every time we start looking at TH-cam, we keep clicking links and in just a few minutes we are watching Morris Dancing.
In the hands of a skilled musician, anything can be a musical instrument.
A year later and getting lost like this still feels genuinely great!
If the 3 stopped ever did music this would have been it. I love watching yall. You do great songs and have fun doing and y'all make me laugh. Thanks and keep up the great job
*3 stooges
This is classic TH-cam. I’m not sure how else to describe it, but I love it with all my heart :)
I know!!! & there's no way way to unhear any of it! My late Dad would have loved boomwackers! I'll watch for both of us. ❤️
Aww mine probably would have gotten a laugh out of them, too.
That was fantastically entertaining- really well thought out routine - love it!
What do you do at half 1 in the morning?
My friends: sleep
Me: watches "classical" boomwhackers
I have no idea how I got here... but I'm glad I did.
Drummers come up with the most creative ideas
Was supposed to study for algebra... Came here for background noise.... Now I'm here :))))
Where have these videos been all my life 🥺🥺🤩🤩
Waw !
You guys are really good in timings.
In this, you managed perfection in *space* too.
👍
The first time you actually find a good video on TH-cam.
Absolutely brilliant!
Very cleverly done. Really enjoyed this.
Simply well done! Percussion is not just the triangle and cymbals!!!
I did not know this can be so entertaining? Bravo!
Help it's 2020 and I'm lost in a youtube hole.
Back in the mundane part of 2020, huh?
That's okay. It's 2024 and I often find myself in the same predicament, particularly on nights when insomnia has me in its clutches.
Excellent job people ! Thank you.
Thanks!!!
brought tears to my eyes for your success.
Precition great listening skills and comedy I love it 🥰
I’ve watched this like a million times and I still love it
Person's without rhythm need not apply!! Marvelous and wish we could have also heard a serious, popular musical composition, tighter camera shot, and masks off!
I need a bigger screen so I can listen and laugh even harder. Loved it!
I also found it by accident but I've bookmarked it now!
Hilarious-- AND WELL DONE MY FRIENDS.
Just showed up on my utube. Loved it. 👍
Music with physical comedy is universal entertainment!
Brilliant 🤩 - you should go on Britain’s Got Talent x
I love to listen to drums. I don't care what kind.
The blue man group but with out the blue! And amazing
This is very entertaining!
Bloody fantastic!
“Classical”
“Boomwackers”
2 words that normally don’t go together, but when they do... oh my
Awesome Job..... Really cool 😎
Just watched my first boomwhacker thing on yt a minute ago, this is 2nd now, ffs where didf i miss this???
What tuneful fun!
That was nothing short of amazing, laughing and enjoying, don't get much better for a stab at an algorithm's choice, glad i found this.
Cheers to all on an old thread/post, it all be good :)
神様、本当にびっくりです！！！
Unique for sure. Love it !
Great performance!!!
Reminds me of Straight No Chaser's Christmas Can Can. Very fun.
I feel for the two in the middle who only had like eight notes each in the entire piece. It’s hard to be the ones to have those kind of parts, for a lot of reasons, but these guys were amazing. xD
..... I can just visualize that this is how music got started in the Neanderthal Age!
I don’t know. All we have from the Neanderthal period is a couple of flutes.
This is delightful!!!
