Polyphonic Kids?


Found this today
thanks to a blog a friend sent me to on a separate mission. Give the QuickTime some space to load and you'll be rewarded with the 4th and 5th grade music students at
Oak Knoll Elementary School in Menlo, CA
performing the Polyphonic Spree's "Light and Day".

It's pretty cool that this teacher took the time to dissect and arrange the song in a way that elementary kids could play it. Better yet, I was impressed to see some of the kids who "got it" and were bouncing, the same way Tim DeLaughter would, though with less brainwashed, cultish excitement.

Looking at the kids on stage you think, "wow that's a lot of kids". And it is. But they still had 14 fewer kids than the Polyphonic Spree has members.
