Yeah my high school actually played this exact song as well as some others like this. It was a very lucky school. One of the best bands in our region. My favorite ensemble that I participated in was called scuttledbutt by Jim Casella. That or a piece our band director arranged using star wars music. Cantina band, with Jaba palace theme, and something else I think all mixed together.
I thought these were college musicians, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw that these were high schoolers. Incredible stuff here, their touch is amazing.
I keep finding myself coming back to this video after playing this piece in high school. Really is something special, and the musicians here absolutely nailed it
I got to play this piece for my high school percussion ensemble last year, and I’d love to say that this will forever remain a favorite piece of mine due to its uniqueness and beauty.
Man these kids are absolutely phenomenal. They approach this piece with such sensitivity yet, they exude incredible confidence at the same time. I can even almost feel how it radiates from them even though I'm just watching this on my crappy phone. And at 2:40, if you listen very closely you can just barely hear the girl on the vibraphone whispering the counts to her rests to herself. Like I said you can JUST barely make it out but then if you look very carefully you can barely see her lips moving. so I think shes saying something along the lines of "2, 3 , 4, 5, 6" which makes sense, since I'm pretty sure the piece is in 6/8. It actually adds a very chilling and almost haunting effect. But, without a doubt, these kids are going places and will probably be the musicians that we read about one day, if not already.
What a gorgeous piece of music. Kudos to the performers... this is really something special. I can tell there is a lot of concentration (and counting measures) involved!
Definitely achievable for more advanced high school music students. You can hide slight rhythmic mistakes in those more atmospheric sections if needed. And it's mainly two mallet playing at a walking tempo. Still, they're clearly dedicated. Quite a good performance. If you want incredibly complicated minimalist pieces for percussion ensemble, i recommend the works of Steve Reich.
Yeah I'm playing this at my next concert with some of my other band mates. Most of them are younger than me, and we're all in the top two bands at our school. (We split ourselves by skill level)
the songs in this format of Ivan Trevino's group pieces feel like catching shadows if he was in a different mood when he made it lol Thank You and Into the Air are content Catching Shadows Make a Joyful Noise and Shared Space are uplifting Catching Shadows Bloom and Ariel are adventurous Catching Shadows no hate, I just think it's funny
This might be so specific (percussionists who play Splatoon) that no one else gets it, but that opening shot reminded me of squid parties in Splatoon (1 and 2). Just a lot of something that you don't normally find in a group, whether it's mallets or it's players.
Cajons have snares inside. Thats just what they sound like nothing extra :) but you can put tambourine or jingle attachments on them as well for more possibilities
man that sux. You had the chance to play this awesome piece and that damn virus came along and took it out from under you. But it makes sense that you wouldnt want to share space at your school with a virus. Seriously though, it does suck and I hope one day you'll get a second chance. Good luck!
Wow! Good thing to know that still there’s young people love to play this marimba and the music itself. Perform it next time with more passion and confidence, i mean some of them is a little conscious (sorry from my personal observation) but top most superb!
I actually disagree, as you can read in my earlier post. I really do feel passion and confidence from them. They move very naturally from instrument to instrument and their calm, relaxed demeanor is appropriate for the tone of the piece. I apologize if my disagreement offends you, I really just wanted to point out that its interesting how we're both watching the exact same thing but we each get a different vibe from it. 😊
Very nicely played; however, you're generation of teachers and students are great memorize-rs which seems to render a limit on reading skills. I see and hear your final product, but this is most suspicious on how long it took to prepare this piece.
As a current music education student (percussion focus), I can say that memorization is not generally encouraged until the concert nears. Especially on a piece like this, it would particularly complicate things to put a stand...well, anywhere other than for player 6, so players opt to memorize for the purpose of keeping the area clear and to lessen the possibility of losing their spot mid-performance.
Dude, JIM... so wrong, I'm in university and I have the sheet music to learn the peice. WE CANT HAVE THE MUSIC FOR THE PERFORMANCE. So we have to learn it, then memorize it.
Allow me to introduce you to a very shocking concept: marching bands. All the music, movements, and placements must be memorized. And there's often less time for the percussion to memorize their music than the other sections
I study Percussion in a Conservatory in the Midwest. One thing I've noticed is often times, by the time a concert of any sorts comes around, I've gotten to the point that the music is sort of there just to keep me on track. Like it acts more as a form chart to simply tell me where I am rather than telling me to hit this note. For a piece like this, memorization is necessary, due to the staging aspect of the piece.
These are some lucky students. This kind of music certainly wasn’t happening at my high school back in the day.

@@redknight2562 Hey this is Cody right? Cool to see you reminiscing as well.
@@jasonpollard5889 yeah Lmao I forgot who all played that piece.
@@redknight2562 Same here I only remember that me Zach Hajune and AJ were on it can’t remember who else
@@redknight2562 at the science hill percussion ensemble we’re playing a Jim Casella piece called Katraterra, I’m really looking forward to it

Took me to another world, nice to hear some good music in these harsh times. Keep up the beautiful work wherever you go. Bravo.

Thank you so much for the kind words!
@@EAHorns you're welcome! Keep up the great work!
I love this piece. One of my favorites I ever participated in. Reminds me of the Wii startup as well lol.
Can't listen to this too often, it's so awesome a piece. Beautifully performed too
Gosh what a piece. Truly beautiful phrasing and musicality.
Easily one of my favorite performances of this piece.
What a gorgeous piece of music. Kudos to the performers... this is really something special. I can tell there is a lot of concentration (and counting measures) involved!
The cinematography is incredible.
The full ensemble prep at 3:30 was so satisfying
So surprised when the credits said these were high schoolers🤯🤯 This was amazing!❤️
Watching to see what the difficulty level is ...

Awesome rendition of such a cool piece. My percussion ensemble competed at PASIC in 2016 with Shared Space. So much fun to work on!
No videos of it? :(
I miss playing this so much
美妙，空靈，悠遠，引我的思緒飘向远方，令我驚艷。
I’m guessing this is Chinese. Don’t know the variation, but I think it’s Chinese.
They did a wonderful job!!! love it!!
You are an inspiration. Wonderful piece guys. 🙏 Gratitude.
Who the f*** disliked this.
Probably thought their school played it better 😑
Tocan muy bien, estoy muy feliz que los hongos sagrados me hayan traído a su música.
This is so cute and so is that blond guy playing the toms (?) at the beginning
Omfg it is so perfect
Is he even blond?
yes he is playing toms, player five
weird septet of catching shadows in there?
the songs in this format of Ivan Trevino's group pieces feel like catching shadows if he was in a different mood when he made it lol
Thank You and Into the Air are content Catching Shadows
Make a Joyful Noise and Shared Space are uplifting Catching Shadows
Bloom and Ariel are adventurous Catching Shadows
no hate, I just think it's funny
@@ryanspercussion everytime I listen to one of his pieces I always hear just a little bit of catching shadows and it's absolutely hilarious
Wunderschön! Danke! 🙏
Idk why but always I hear this song it reminds me to the game "Mirror's Edge"
Such a relaxing video i love it
Beautiful
Wow so amazing ♡
1:31 possible (Steve) Reich motif of the Atsiagbekor bell pattern...
Amazing
If only covid didn't ruin my group playing this :(

Garrett Brothers lol
Belle performance Bravo
The youth speaking about the future? Please, let me hear it.
4:53 is exactly the game Contra second Boss at the end of the base stage.
Impressive. Bravo !!!
What's the instrument called that the guy sits on and drums? 😂 it sounds so cool. Almost like a maraca as a drum.
It's a cajon. But it must have some kind of snare attachment it something. It sounded like a snare.
Cajon
Cajons have snares inside. Thats just what they sound like nothing extra :) but you can put tambourine or jingle attachments on them as well for more possibilities
Nice work on this!
BA BA DA BING 🛎️
Me and my freshman classmates were practicing this in class before the pandemic but was canceled because of covid
man that sux. You had the chance to play this awesome piece and that damn virus came along and took it out from under you. But it makes sense that you wouldnt want to share space at your school with a virus. Seriously though, it does suck and I hope one day you'll get a second chance. Good luck!
@@EmoryBlake4Music agreed, hope to play it later on
the magic of 6/8 time. tun tun tun turuntun.....etc
That zoom in on the case of the Fall Creeks hurt me a little bit.
Very beautiful.
Awesome.
Thankyou!
Fiyuh!

amazing
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Is there a possibility to buy this piece? (CD/ file)
You can also go go ivandrums.com and go to the sheet music store to buy a pdf copy
Anyone know the mallets that were used?
IP 1005 Vibraphone mallets
What happens to kids who don't text all day?
That's too many vibraphone people
Succ Nasty they’re just going off of the music. It’s not like it was their choice to have that many people on vibes.
