    MWC ... Please ignore ANY negative comments on this vid. For these kids to present a performance like the one i just witnessed took:
    -Mastery of instrument.
    -Mastery of musical knowledge.
    -Mastery of arrangement
    -Mastery of musical theory
    -Incredible LISTENING skill
    For years, I have loved "Blinded by The Light," and as a music teacher,this has always been on my hit list of "what if a kid band did this?"
    You kids NAILED it.
    Complicated song.
    Complicated arrangement.
    Complicated musicianship.
    4 stars in any/every category..
    Ignore any negative comments.
    Rock on.
    I will be followingyou.

      Thank you so much for kind and thoughtful comments. I'm a huge fan of this program, and have seen kids accomplish things I wouldn't have believed possible.
      The lead singer is a School of Rock "AllStar" and has grown from a shy girl to an accomplished performer - and mentor to the younger kids. The lead guitarist is in shows with his brother and sister, and they have a band of their own already. The bassist is already gigging regularly. And the rhythm guitarist just did a truly astounding performance of two Thin Lizzy songs this most recent season.

      To that, I can only add:
      -Rock on
      -Be kind to others
      -Study hard
      -Play fair with others
      -Keep it fun
      -And, eat lots of vegetables
      I like you're style.

      We need more people like you in the world. Kids playing music shouldn't be shit on, critical comments are good, but just saying they suck is pointless and is more likely to make them want to give up instead of trying to improve. Cheers mate.

    • @MidWestConcertVideo2
      @MidWestConcertVideo2  8 лет назад +6

      My goal is to try to capture every player on the stage, and some are hidden by others, so I have to get in close up. Beat Kitchen has a great staff, but is not an ideal venue for shooting concert video, and I'm essentially limited to two camera locations, one back by the sound board, and one right by the stage. Look through my other videos to see how different my shooting style is in different venues.
