The Percussion Ensemble has a lot of liberty and creativity with the songs they learn and play. Misha suggested that they play some of the music for video games, and Mr. Kirkwood, being a video gamer himself, loved the idea.
The ensemble played music from Nintendo games featuring Mii Lobby, Gourmet Race, Song of Storms, Legend of Zelda, Wii Sports, and Super Mario Bros. While the students played a video of the game played. Some of the songs were really (reeeeeeeaaaallllyyyyy) long as they played all levels of the game it seemed.
Sadly, Mr. Kirkwood is leaving to teach at a middle school next year, hoping that it will give him more time to spend with his family. Misha does not plan to play in the Percussion Ensemble next year.
