Review of What Cheer Brigade? Plays Recess (narrated)This piece is a wonderful, sustained burst of sound! A marching band crashes its way through the halls of an elementary school, but the band's brassy, sonic assault turns out to be no match for the waves of energy and excitement it elicits from the kids. The listener gets the sensation of being swarmed by a mob in the throes of a religious ecstasy. At one point the sheer wildness of the children actually inspires fear in one of the band members! A memorable piece. A remarkable soundscape that lingers in the ears and mind long after the first listen. |

Review of What Cheer Brigade? Plays Recess (narrated)
It's great to hear little kids go nuts like this about a big, loud, band. The kids were pretty hyper, and a lot of their tape is a little peaky, but fun. I would have liked a little more narration to help understand the scene visually. It would have been nice to hear from the guy in the monkey costume who was afraid of the mob of kids as well. Overall a sweet little piece that channels the enthusiasm of kids really well.
