The Cart O' Crap & "The Stranger"

Heathen #1 was old enough this year to join the high school's indoor percussion ensemble.  This year's performance piece is entitled "The Stranger" and was written by the director, Jon Donath.  It is a great piece of music and the kids do a fantastic job.

My child plays in the pit, on an instrument that I have lovingly dubbed the "Cart O'Crap."  It is this really bizarre looking thing on wheels that holds all of the odd, accent-making type instruments.

The entire piece is several minutes long, but you can hear a small portion here (and see Heathen #1 in action!)  Enjoy!
