Truly an awe-inspiring percussionist. Cangelosi seems to turn random sounds into a virtuosic, brilliant compositions.

My band teacher was a student teacher for Casey Cangelosi. Casey and my band teacher are both really amazing. :)

[@reticentdamsel]

Casey and I were in the same percussion class throughout high school. We all knew he would continue on to greater percussive things. :)

Great job, Casey. I just wish the videographers would not have cut your hands off in so many of the shots during the snare piece.
