    Here’s the story!! this was a performance for our school’s annual holiday showcase. This wasn’t a serious concert obviously; this performance was meant to entertain. I had a week to write and put music together, put this group together, and then practice before the audition. I had asked Grant literally the day before the showcase to play the slapstick part (And btw he’s not even a percussionist LMAO fun fact: he plays the clarinet) I’ve seen many comments saying we sound bad… and I will say this once.. this was also our 5th time playing this IN A ROW.. ON THAT SAME DAY! So of course we were going to be tired, missing a few notes, being out of tune etc. and not to mention this piece is already difficult enough.. but that’s not the point of this video. This performance was meant to entertain the audience, hence the slapstick and the horse whinny (which is why I chose this piece in the first place) so thank you all for the love and positivity. We all thank you and we are glad you still enjoy watching our performance.
    Hi! Round 2 of going viral again LMAO for those wondering how we didn’t laugh..
    We were all good at hyper focusing on the music and not Grant and the audience’s reaction. Grant also told us not to laugh RIGHT before we went out for our performance. We had no idea he was gonna run around and jump in front of us, but it was really funny.

      Unfortunately there are some very miserable people out there who can't find joy in anything and they try to bring the world down with them. Ignore the negatives and own the positives. It was a great performance that everyone really enjoyed. Grant just made it that much better. Keep doing your thing and let nobody bring you down.
