Meleena playing bells/xylophone

I had the honor of attending my first marching band performance feature Meleena on the Bells (also known as a portable Xylophone) on Saturday morning in Fresno.

I was very impressed - not just at the overall band performance, or at Meleena's playing but also at her ability to focus in spite of seeing her Nino walking alongside the band shooting this video.

Oh, and I was prominently featured on the TV wearing the wrong school t-shirt albeit covered up with a blue hoody. Sorry Meleena - you'll have to tell me how to get a new t-shirt...

There's another video on the Flickr site of the dance routine that preceded the main performance. Very cool stuff indeed.
