Tates Creek High School Percussion Ensemble - August 2025 Board of Education Performance

001Hi, my name is Aaron Cunningham and I'm the director of bands at Tates Creek High School. This is one of six pieces we performed at the Kentucky Music Educators Conference. The students through learning this piece have learned multiple techniques. You can see that they'll use uh multiple different types of mallets and you'll see that at times they'll use anywhere from two to three up to four mallets while playing this piece. The interesting thing about this piece is that it utilizes only one MIMA but four players. You'll see the students moving around the instrument. This piece utilizes the full range of the instrument. Sometimes very close to each other, sometimes fairly spread apart. These students are part of the Tates Creek High School percussion class. It's my pleasure to introduce this performance to you. We're going to be performing Watercolor Sun by Ivan Trevino. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Break [Music] out.
