The band at Wenatchee High School in Washington state, USA

Ah here.

Via The New York Post:

“You get kids back in the building. You can tell people are happy,” Principal Eric Anderson told WenatcheeWorld of the schoolhouse vibes since doors reopened on Jan. 26.

During rehearsal, happy campers in the band each zip into their personal tents, spaced 6 feet apart, along with their instruments. In an effort to avoid COVID-19 exposure, the ensemble practices in shifts per Wenatchee High’s new AM-PM hybrid schedule.

“We’re getting into that groove of what are we doing in-person and what are we asking kids to do as an extension of learning when they are not with us,” Anderson said of the remixed school day.

On behalf of Trinity Orchestra, we would like to share our latest music video of our live recording of Demon Days [and other choons] by Gorillaz played by full orchestra. In addition to this we are announcing our entry to the 2015 Irish Music festival scene at one of Ireland’s largest festivals: Forbidden Fruit.

Lyonya Shilovsky performs the Galop Infernal from Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus In The Underworld with the Novosibirsk Symphony Orchestra, then rounds it off with a nifty solo.

Soon he will learn to give the crowd the finger and leave the stage swigging on a bottle of Chivas Regal.

Growing up I always thought Tom & Jerry cartoons had music that was completely bonkers. Here it is performed in all it’s wonderful insane glory.

Not really. This is Lise Linde Kronenberg playing piano concert on her first birthday. The orchestral accompaniment was presumably added later.

Neatorama suggests you play it to someone who can’t see the monitor.
