[@timlangeloh4679]

i dont know how i found this, but am so glad i did! Christine is a legend!

[@AndreKupkovski]

I first saw this video back in 2007, and came back to remember how incredible it is!

[@hoffington]

I remember watching this years ago.. Still great

[@akikowolf]

The pause was so good. I knew it was coming up, but I didn't know when. It was just a few seconds before it actually needed to load.

[@moon-bro]

I Love your performance.. I watch this like once a week

[@xTaylorCrazyx]

This is like the coolest arrangement I have ever seen. 2:22 is so clever!

[@MephyBenny]

Wonderful Continue to put video like those, I will never be tired of you

[@That_dude_who_knows_some_stuff]

I've come back to watch this video a dozen times over the years. I still love it.

[@BasedWarGoose]

This is the first video I ever watched on the old KZbin.

[@DeclanTKatt]

Great dynamics by the rhythm and bass.

[@alpharone]

Just amazing! Especially the pause. That gave me a good laugh. Excellent job!

[@CoryMegan]

It was so fun seeing this in person... you guys rocked it.

[@theinfojunkie]

Brought a smile to my face. Great job.

[@jwla3]

That was great! I especially loved the pause sequence!

[@amyleeluvr]

This is the best arrangement I have ever heard of this piece. I love how the ensemble plays in complete sync with each other. NICE WORK on this piece. I hope to do something like that for a percussion ensemble of some sort. It is AMAZING!!

[@ambnparrish]

Awesome....one of the best arrangements I've ever heard!

[@messopedals]

I've watched this video twice a year for the past 14 years

[@ryosuke100]

Awesome performance.

[@Angaman]

[@thegreyarcher]

[@cheesesteakphilly]

unbelievable! I love it!!!

[@actionman1971]

this make me smile on a bad day. Great ^^

[@ShadowCoH316]

FINALLY!!! Someone using proper technique. :P Nice job, I'm working on my Marimba solos as well... not sure what i'm going to be playing. But good luck to the 4 of you! :D

[@odius55]

Incredible!

[@crn3]

Absolutely awesome!!!

[@joemasters2270]

I loved the "pause" at 2:25... cute :)

[@kuringa4059]

Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ZOB4]

I thought so! I auditioned at Fredonia and met Christine, I also know her brother, Brian.

[@dalem]

This is so cool !

[@kylegregoryprice]

amazing! Mario 2 is always left behind in the game music scene :)

[@Dangertitz]

That has to be one of the greatest things I've ver seen or heard in my life.

[@Jhimbob]

this. is. awesome.

[@SidarCrand]

The pause. That makes the whole damn song.

[@pyrolyte]

outstanding!

[@aido179]

really entertaining. well done

[@samurayloco]

los felizito chavos, esta muy padre todo eso y la marimba muy exclusiva de mario 2, siguan adelante mucha suerte

[@Twis_ted]

Nice job! Sounds good :D

[@ruuchan5021]

you have NO idea how epic this to me. :DD just in my opinion, i think the solo could've been just a bit more epic. i think i might want to arrange this for our concert too!

[@sinistermoon]

THAT WAS AMAZING!

[@caracbeara]

first of all, this girl knows her shit when it comes percussion. secondly, I had the honor of talking with her today. she rocks pretty much.

[@mariothecellist]

watching you on my wii, and you still sound great!!!!

[@joemasters2270]

Fantastic!!

[@fw1900]

" : ~₩8?

[@yodaman234]

Haha, i do, indeed love the pause part. I thought the video had to load or sumthing.

[@The_Gem_Guy]

Awsome video

[@blazestorm123]

I play the marimba in the high school band and I think it was great!

[@josepharmendarizjr.5763]

Love this!

[@Hanrek82]

This truly made my day. 5+ Cheers :)

[@josedeleon2032]

me gusta esta recital de infancia!!

[@Sokosu]

i luv this video

[@DJRoxi]

And yes, if Christine does scope this site out. Congrats to you and yours for doing a good job at the recital. Keep up the good work and try more challenging stuff. Don't forget, music and entertainment are supposed to be fun. I wasn't dissing you (as so mnay intellectual vacants were suggesting). Every performance has it's flaws, regardless of whether your a pro or not. That's what makes it fun.

[@812memphis]

wow! great!

[@TANKTREAD]

Wow, nobody gives Koji Kondo any credit. Without him, this recital would have never happened.

[@IroquoisPliskin]

Man, this... is... cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!

[@duncan319]

ultra cool!!!!

[@enzarto]

the pause is priceless

[@finnishredder]

nice arrangement on a wicked theme :-)

[@loribit85]

Nice! Xilophones give this music perfect rendition!

[@b1ak3m]

Epic!!

[@dudelittle2]

EPIC EPICNESS.

[@Moonfight]

So funny, and great pause. ^^

[@drummerboy199]

i loved it 5 stars

[@mariopikaman1]

IT BEGINS

[@Araedi]

the ragtime thing was awesome xD

[@n1k0-_-0k1n]

It would've been so appropriate! The two guys on the side as Mario and Luigi; the girl as Princess Peach; and Toad with a huge 'shroom hat playing the drums :D

[@ghostlat]

Hahah!! The pause sound... EPIC WIN!!!!!!

[@DesertRainReads]

Man, I would've loved to have been there in person, it looks like you had alot of fun doing this rendition of one of my favorite songs from a game. Maybe someone will have the guts to do a rock rendition of this song eh?

[@Cllstnvlnst329]

I totally realized that, if she had done the noise before the bass solo, it would've been so much more funny But it was still rockin!

[@buddhadonut]

thinks like this make me remember that I'll never be amazing :)

[@BJMarch58]

which is exactly the arrangement i suggested :-)

[@bryan57s]

Nice!

[@hyoshinkim7]

@ButterKnifeRampage this is one of the best comments ive ever read :) never thought someone would know this ;) very impressive!

[@BJMarch58]

Yes...

[@MorioKun1]

EPIC!

[@aznlilsaint]

omg i loved that pause :D lol

[@StreetFighter2010]

Very good. From this video angle, it looked as if the "pause" actually froze the screen. An ensemble well done. If this was graded, it would surely get 4 out of 4. ;-)

[@IroquoisPliskin]

I can't believe that 21 people don't like this...

[@NachoTheGamingDog]

Really cool documentary on the secret history of Super Mario Bros 2:

[@glovetrotter]

THATS FUCKING AWESOMMEEE !!! nice shit!!!

[@BJMarch58]

She's graded more on the performance side. And yes it was Kondo.

[@CaptainRehab99]

So sweet... and now I wonder: Am I the only one who kept hearing Mumbo's theme at certain parts?

[@BJMarch58]

Oh trust me I tried many times to get the cave music in there. Christine wanted to keep it more in the style of ragtime though. ...but I tried...

[@MuddyFenders]

EPIC

[@ZdrytchX]

that part after the invincable, how come i hear that exact same solo everywhere?

[@hanskrister]

Absolutely outstanding. Watched it three times over. Being Norwegian I don't know Sony Fredonia or excactly what a senior Recital involves. I.e. Were she graded for this, the arrangement vs performance are the results in etc. Nintendo needs to see this one, it's up there with Gordon College's Super Mario PLAY Btw, did Nintendo composer Koji Kondo write this?

[@ayrshireman94]

Nice

[@DrumtechJP]

well they're really completely different kinds of piece though, ones a 2 mallet rag styl, the other ones more of a classical style 4 mallet solo marimba. Fairly incomparitive. But Mitchel Peters is the man, I've been workin on that piece for some time now, and the 4 mallet permiutations are killin me in the middle

[@DanClark_ddc]

Wow

[@BJMarch58]

you have no idea how many times i suggested dressing up...

[@musichuqui]

holy shit!!!!!

[@Agnorak4]

Don't know if her arms were wearing out or she didn't have the chops but when she sped it up it started sounding kinda choppy from her end. Still, the pause was awesome. Good job!

[@viper2681]

I don't know what's worse, the fact that I can tell they learned by rote, or the fact that I can tell they messed up quite a few times.

[@chitojordan]

esa era la parte donde estaba en la arena!

[@Tacoman1326]

The poor darling... If only she had known of a site named 4chan before doing this...

[@VinnytotheK]

This makes no sense.

[@scott4170]

haha yes it does

[@mmmexicooo]

Please credits to the composer mister KOJI KONDO

[@BJMarch58]

Christine arranged it herself

[@Mojoelize]

CUTE!!!!

[@BJMarch58]

I know we have at least three: Two 5-octaves and one 4 1/3.
