As with most entries in the So You Think You Can Dance franchise, dancers are chosen by expert judges who pick an initial pool of talent from open auditions. Group numbers and multiple video packets chronicling the course of the season's events, all culminating in the announcement of the winner of the competition. A non-profit performing arts education organization operating a world-renowned percussion ensemble, groundbreaking wind ensemble, and more.Missing.

The majority of rehearsals are held in the Indianapolis area (at or near the location of the X18 Audition Clinics.) The WGI Regionals are held, one weekend each, in Dayton, Indianapolis, and in Kentucky (just south of Cincinnati). The majority of local-circuit performances are in the Dayton area. Because of this - most members of Rhythm X Percussion and Winds live in the Dayton, Cincinnati, or Indianapolis areas. There are many carpool systems between members that go through Michigan, Toledo, & and Columbus. Rhythm X has had many high school cast members in the past. High school membership is limited by several factors.

First, Rhythm X seeks the best performers in our art. This level of artistry is often only reached in college-aged students. More importantly, performing in Rhythm X takes a great amount of personal and social responsibility and excellent time-management skills. Both a high level of ability and these personal skills are required for a high school student to be admitted. Secondly, Rhythm X when it comes to signing a high school student to its cast. High school students must have permission from their parents and high school band director before they are admitted to perform in an independent ensemble. Rhythm X believes in our art and the cultivation of high-quality percussion programs in high schools across the country.

The short answer is yes, anything is possible with commitment. We have had members from all over the country and the world perform at Rhythm X.

The question is whether you're able to commute or move closer to Indianapolis/Dayton. For instance, we have had members commute from as far away as Delaware and we've had members move from California, Belgium, England, and many other places to live in the Rhythm X area for a few months. Generally Rhythm X rehearses in the Dayton, OH and Indianapolis, IN areas. With questions about commuting or relocating contact us.

The Blue Devils drum and Bugle Corp won their 15th Drum Corp International (DCI) World Championship on Saturday (and fourth in the last six years). The Blue Devils drumline won the top overall percussion score behind one of the best lines I've ever seen.

Carolina Crown placed second (drumline 6th) while Phantom Regiment got third and the Cadets wound up in fourth place. Five special awards were presented during the DCI World Championships awards ceremony, each averaged after combining the scores from Prelims, Semifinals and Finals. The George Zingali Award for Best Color Guard went to Blue Devils. There was a tie for the John Brazale Best Visual Performance Award, between Blue Devils and Carolina Crown. The Jim Ott Award for Best Brass Performance went to Carolina Crown and the Fred Sanford Award for Best Percussion Performance was earned by Blue Devils, who also won the Don Angelica Award for Best Overall General Effect. Congratulations to all participating drum and bugle corps.

I saw this amazing video on YouTube today of a Lego Blue Man Group animation. Kent Jenkins, the creator and animator, did a really fantastic job capturing the best and most memorable moments from the live Blue Man Group show and the stop animation is spot on.

There is even a moment where the Lego figures throw marshmallows back and forth using a green screen. I really like his creative use of Lego pieces for instruments, such as barrels for drums and scorpions for guitars! Enjoy the Blue Man Group Lego performance below.
