    when us perrcussionists in the back read "add as many shakers/gourds as possible" we thought "I accept this challenge!" So now when we play it I hold two shakers, someone else holds two shakers, someone holds maracas, and someone holds the beaded gourd when he's not smashing cymbals and it sounds amazing

      for the solo part earlier today, our band teachers decided that other people (non-percussionists) would have shakers while we focus on the solo, so now one of us percussion plays 2 (i forgor the instrument but the bottom line on the bongo sheet) and i play that for the entire thing
