Could this be the first time on the Earth that this has been done? We made HISTORY!

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!

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!
