We have 19 vibraphones in this school for the workshop. Can you believe it! Everyone has a practice room and a set of vibes. Really cool. We're going to get a photo with all the vibes, should be a cool photo!
The campus here is beautiful. Just practicing and walking around is a lot of fun.
Hey Everybody,
Recently we had the pleasure of Gloria Krolak amongst our membership. She has an fm radio show online that features all vibes and marimba players. I think it is mostly vibes. Anyway, she gave us some info in a post about her show, which happened to be tonight (Sunday) and Wednesday. I listened in and sure enough her show is a treat.
Everybody eating lunch after the first workshop.
There's a great bunch of players from the Delaware workshop! And here they say hello!

Hello everyone - as so many people liked our duo version of afro blue,I posted as an audio a few weeks ago - here is the video that proves I really played myself! Check out the new HugoBoss ultraslimline redshirt : )
This is a basic arrangement for vibes or marimba of the popular jazz standard "Afternoon in Paris". It demonstrates a couple different ways to accompany a melody - using a counter line or a block chord. It also employs a simple pedal point for the left hand during the bridge.
A PDF of the arrangement can be downloaded HERE. So print down a copy and try it out!

hi!
I just realised that the vibes have one more advantage beside the cool sound, the cool attitude, the excluiveness and the fact that vibesplayers get all the chicks: you can play it with a baby wrap! no way of doing this with a guitar!
So folks get youself a set of vibes - the chick and eventually an offsping might follow BUT you can still play!
Cheers Stefan

Hi Everyone!
I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I'd throw something up here from my end of semester recital in June this year.
Basically the deal with it was you choose 3 tunes walk in and play with a staff rhythm section, so its kind of like a fill in gig simulation.
Would love to hear some feedback :)
