Wow



A Japanese ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BAND at a band competition. Enormously impressive, more so because they are playing with the music memorized (note that the teacher/conductor is the only one with a score!).

I'm constantly reminded of the undeniable fact that kids can do extraordinary things, given the right guidance, opportunity and discipline. Inspiring stuff!

No. way. That's crazy good. Those kids look about 8 or 9! I don't think our performance of that piece last January was anywhere near that clean!

...suddenly, I'm feeling the need to go practice.

This performance is equally embarrassing to my skills as an instrumentalist and as a music educator.
