Louisville Leopard Percussionists rehearsing Kashmir, The Ocean, and Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin.
The Louisville Leopard Percussionists began in 1993. They are a performing ensemble of approximately 55 student musicians, ages 7-12, living in and around Louisville, Kentucky. Each student learns and acquires proficiency on several instruments, such as marimbas, xylophone, vibraphone, drum set, timbales, congas, bongos and piano.

Amazing! And they got a high-five from Jimmy Page.

There's an HBO doc about them---"The Leopards Take Manhattan", part of "The Music In Me" series.

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen with kids and music! Music is so important in so many ways - I wish all kids could have a chance with it.

Thanks! Zeppelin rocks

Great job kids. Music IS fun. And how about that drummer?

Thanks eve!

What a joy! There was one girl in the back in pink, who really was jamming. I wish more kids could be introduced to music. Just about gone in our school district. Only those who can afford it get to take lessons. Sad. Kids have so much to express. They just swell wih pride when they perform in a group!
