Very cool. I was a saxophone player in high school but, too lazy to march, played marimba in marching band. Not only did I get to stay inside most of the day bullshitting while everyone else marched in the hot sun, I also got to play the most criminally underused instrument in all of music. Think of your favorite minor-key song. Now think of it with a cool marimba counterpoint. Isn't that so much better?

I played marimba throughout High School and desperately want to play again. I am very excited by the prospect of saving up for a custom-built marimba, made my Doug Demorrow out of Arkansas. And some of my favorite marimba performances on youtube: Libertango Splendid Wood Dream of the Cherry Blossoms Der Kleine Paganini
