Like watching middle school kids in Louisville, Kentucky playing a killer Led Zeppelin medley -- on xylophones.
I don't know why I find this so irresistibly amusing, but I do.

This wins the internet today. Kudos to the teacher for an inspired song selection and the kids for bringing it.
Agree with Alzo. What a great teacher!B I love when they get into the Immigrant Song.
And the kid with the dark blue shirt is a natural ---
Seems like a concept for a mid 1980's Rhino Records novelty album.
Eight xylophones! Makes portions of the sliced and diced Ocean sound very oriental. Kashmir, the ultimate stoner song of 1975, on beginner's xylophone is hilarious. But the kid's are alright. The hammer of the gods has now turned into a mallet.
Who knew there were xylophones in Valhalla?!?

Having this many pieces is brilliant- if one or two kids hits a bum note, the others cover it (and xylophone dissonance actually has a charming quality).
Long live the Louisville Leopards!
Hello all...no, please remain seated,
ok...if you like rock music and this doesn't totally delight you, well...you should be shunned. A good old fashioned Amish shunning.
thank for posting, Steve,

I liked the one with the kittens and babies doing When The Levee Breaks.
Glad to see they're still teaching classical music in the schools!
Never seen so many vibes in one place played simultaneously. This is brilliant madness. The percussionists are on it, playing drums as lead instrument.
