Hey @CherylGoulash, when you get good at marimba, let me know.

[@andrewwolf6556]

Big fan of the choreography @ 7.21 though

[@andrewwolf6556]

So I've watched the whole thing now, and 8 years after it was recorded, I've decided that you're ok at marimba now. Also I love you.

Great job, Cheryl. Caritas is one of my favs. You're good at the marimbas.

[@garyshuda]

Thanks man. It's easy to sound good with a great piece. Hope you're doing well!

[@WesDenkinsMusic]

Great performance! I am using this performance as reference for my upcoming recital!
What mallets are you using in each movement?

[@PercussionGeek1]

That was a great performance! Loved the articulation throughout the first movement. What mallet's did you use?

[@garyshuda]

Thanks! The mallets are M124 (Vic Firth, new Van Sice model). They're my favorite medium mallets, and you can dig to get some really nice articulation as well. Appreciate the kind words.
