In person the symbols scared tf outta me every time they hit them, it was so loud

Truly Dr. West has one of the most elite programs in the U.S. today. The ensemble of students encounters challenges of musicianship, performance, and literature knowledge that only propels education on the secondary level because of the insight experienced at TCU. Bravo Dr. West!!!!

Wow this is so awesome!!! We did this at Berkner HS last year, it's a great piece.

This is probably my favorite percussion ensemble piece ever, it’s just so good. We actually performed this piece last year

Texas puts a lot of money towards music programs from top to bottom. All the way from beginner bands to universities 👌🏾

[@freshie587]

yeah my middle school in texas somehow had 5 marimbas, 3 vibraphones, two "bells" and 6 xylos

[@nicholashojunhaotkss391]
