The piece will be played in uinison by 1000 drummers at Skol Anhembi Arena on June 21, 2008 to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Japanese immigration to Brazil.
As you can imagine, an event like this is going to present more problems than one can possibly think of:
Will we have 1000 players?
Provided we have 1000 players, will there be enough drums for them to play?
Provided we are able to find 1000 drums, how will we return them to their respective owners after the performance?
Will 1000 people be able to play the music in unison and still sound good?
Event organizers always try to plan ahead and anticipate problems before they occur. The bigger the event, the more problems there are, and that means more planning and thinking beforehand.
We're here in Marilia to make sure the 1000 drummers playing in unison sound good. It's a challenge, but challenges are always opportunities to grow!
