Because Greensboro has so many institutions of higher education, the community has access to many fabulous events. The above photo features Marimba Madness! held last night at Scuppernong Books. Percussion students at UNCG used the community space in the back of this indie bookstore for a recital. Since it is exam time, the concert was probably a final exam of sorts. Several students performed and they did a good job.
A marimba is a special percussion instrument. When the mallets strike the wooden bars, you can feel the vibration in your bones. With all of the wood on the bookstore floor and the bookshelves, sound and vibration from the marimba were enhanced.
This fabulous, free event reminds us of how a community is enhanced when small, local businesses partner with IHEs to make events like this one possible. We can't emphasize enough the value of simply getting out and interacting with the Greensboro community. Your life will be enhanced by attending these events.
It's rare to see one of those with an orchestra.
