Kids in music: Louisville Leopard Percussionists

You may have seen this floating around the internet, but this particular video recently went viral after rocker Jimmy Page shared it on social media:

The Louisville Leopard Percussionists are a group of 60+ kids, ages 7-14, from 48 different schools in and near Louisville, Kentucky. They're broken down into smaller ensembles, including a beginning group, an advanced group, and a steel drum ensemble (link to video below). The students play a variety of percussion instruments, including marimbas, vibraphones, xylophones, steel drums, drum set, and auxiliary percussion (maracas, vibraslap, etc.).
