The barefoot guy looks like he's been waiting for this exact moment his whole life.
He’s also wearing a cowboy hat
Well u can’t blame him
(Blame him for waiting for that moment his whole life)
He is blonde barefoot jesus
Yehaw
They all have essays due tomorrow
when u spend the entire time learning how to use boomwhackers instead of studying so might as well play em
One of them used to be my student and he always turn in things on time! Perhaps I should have included a boomwhacker assignment though...
Give him a "Medal of BoomWhackery"
i do
Thing is, they’re probably more prepared than anyone else.
-applies to Harvard for the 5th billionth time
_"let me in. LET ME IIIIN!"_

I see you everywhere? Are you like the New Justin Y or something? 😂
I want to go to Harvard just to play boomwhackers. And then, when people ask how Harvard's going, I'll be able to say that I learned how to play Africa by Toto with boomwhackers.
The Orange I'm with you buddy! That would be hilarious!
Me too!
Nice name.
@@MisterAppleEsq Thank you, fellow fruit
The Orange same but i’m way too stupid for harvard
The guy with the cowboy hat is really getting into it

He suggested the song... 😂
why isn’t he wearing any shoes lmao
Interviewer: So why do you want to go to Harvard?

Interviewer: Fair Enough
"Fair enough" 😂

Harvard? No. They accept those that line up with the types of people that are willing to live their lives *_the Harvard_* way. But I found your comment pretty funny so don't get me wrong lmaø

@@HeX_Boi from what I read I think it went over his head. Or maybe it was me instaed :)
The budget was on other things so they couldnt afford instruments
@Alex Mulvihill nobody asked.
" What did you learn at Harvard?"
"Sit down... I'll show you!"

Africa by Toto was such a big hit that they actually named a continent after it
@Garfield Arbukle ikr
lol
Is your name like jojo or something? :v
U N O R I G I N A L
Yeah Toto and its wildlife are beautiful.
This is seriously impressive, both the arrangement and performance. I can't even imagine where to begin figuring out who should play which notes at what time, how to leave enough space for people to switch instruments, etc. On top of all of that it's memorized! Truly awesome
JW Fan I’m in 7th grade and we have to play Batman on those and I never get it right
My class did that for a school performance without switching instruments though and that was already hella hard.
They're all harvard students
There's something that bothers me but at 0:41 there's more instruments playing then those that moves. Or I'm missing something?
@@Niktuono I don't think so
So this is what Harvard students do at Harvard.

@Henk - Can’t tell if that’s a joke. Hope it’s not. You’re a horrible person if you actually think that. And if it’s a joke, don’t make jokes like that.
*Harvard College Interviewer:* did you get a 1600 on the SAT and a 5.1 GPA?
*Kid holding Boomwhacker:* no but I can play Toto on dis baby
*Interviewer:* Say no more, U R IN!!! 🤯
that should be our jobs in a nutshell, thank you for this amazing opportunity
Wait! You actually need a 1600 on a SAT?! Isn't that super high or something? Because I thought it was good to get a 800
@@xiejerry9203 you don't NEED a 1600 but most harvard students have from 1500-1600 on their sat. 800 is honestly not that great, it's half of what you could get total. 800 on just the math or 800 on just the reading is a perfect for either section but as a total score it's not great
Xie Jerry 800 is a terrible score. I don’t think a single college out there will accept a student with that score.
“Higher learning”
me: Harvard kinda seems like a snobby school
Harvard: calls this song an eternal banger in the description
me: I have never been so wrong
my last 8 brain cells during a test
well atleast they go to harvard
oOgeneralwaffles I remember when I had brain cells
India Calisto for a good minute I thought you were genuinely laughing at the word ‘oats’ and I now find it a very funny word
*You and me*
Yassddoood
Harvard, I’m glad to see you’ve been spending time wisely
TMoney, Bro well this will be in their spare time bro so maybe this is what they do instead of watching tv🤔😂
Mental health is important. Smh
my last 8 braincells during a test
Heck are they smart your 8 braincells
You can go to harvard with your 8 brain cells. Ive only got 1/8 of that amount t.t
Now im gona think of this tmr during my Olevels
my last 8 braincells all the time
jake More like during the whole test 😂
Now I understand why it’s so hard to get into Harvard, they only have a certain amount of thud sticks
One day at 3 am i came across a pipe whacking cult and now i am subscribed amd have watched every video on the channel
Ikr i was sleep deprived and discovered this and found it catchy and now i love it

Quite the opposite no?
"What is this I hear?- ... ah, of course, the gifted at Harvard covering Africa by Toto on boomwhackers, who else."
Why do I see you everywhere
Why harvard means nothing anymore as long as you are rich you pay to play get As by paying professors. Thats how the ivy league schools work
ThreeFreeTrees I know, it’s actually terrible
Only in the USA...
Didn’t expect to start to cry today because of Boomwhackers. You just all look so happy and this is so unique and cool, and it reminds me I am horribly depressed and will probably never be this happy and I’m too apathetic to work on any hobbies. What you’re doing is very cool, and thank you for sharing it with us.
This means a lot to us! You're not alone!
@@HarvardUndergradDrummers I can't make out the dialogue at 3:15, what is everyone saying?

No
Same I had these at my school and let me just say it was a bad idea
Finally, RUclips recommended a work of art.
How does one go about tuning this instrument?
Cut the pipe to make a less loud noise get a bigger pipe to make louder noise, get a wider pipe to make it deeper and get a less wide pipe to make it sharper
Or put a cap on it to do something
@@Pira7 yeah just pop a cap in them. Worked great for tuning up 2Pac!
rando prior no.
Take it to pound town
they guy with no shoes is really feeling himself isn't he

Schools: “college is not fun and games”
Harvard:
Aw white pants guy was so happy whenever he got to do something
True
r/funnyandsad
That’s because he had what appears to be the highest and lowest note (based on the size of his tubes) out of the group and usually the very highest and lowest notes aren’t used as much as the ones in the middle of the spectrum in a song like this
So sad Alexa play dęßpæčïtø 996,867,970,647,590,666 by Toto
r d I was white pants guy in my ensemble lol smh
every music teacher from elementary wanted us to sound like this on boom whackers.
morgannn right!?
N even this sounds like shit
morgannn FACTS BRUH!!! My teacher would get so mad at me and now if I was there I would be like “Bitch what do I look like to you? 😂”
