BING
BANG started out as
being novelty percussion performance group
made up of Melbourne High School and Central Middle
School students with varying degrees of musical and
percussion talent. The brainchild of Karen van Oene, Bing Bang was
designed to bring the experience of percussion performance,
comedy and theatrics to advance music students of the
percussive persuasion who are interested in
sharing their unique personalities with audiences that can tolerate
them. They are usually made up of the kids who attract attention
because of their unique ability to entertain and/or have Chronic
Rudimental Surface Tapping Disorder, or CRSTD, (not to be confused
with any other STD) a syndrome not yet researched where the
individual continuously beats out rhythms (real ones...in
tempo) with hands, sticks, or other devices on desks, knees, or
other surfaces readily available. Profits from Bing Bang concerts do
not go to the study of this disorder as we don't need a cure at the
moment. Profits of Bing Bang do go towards buying new percussion
instruments for the band rooms and individual scholorships to poor
starving percussionists majoring in music. Please support your local
percussionists and attend a Bing Bang concert!
Bing Bang is now a fundrazing
organization to help schools raise money for new percusison
instruments and drumline equipment and repair or reburishing. Please
contact us if you wish to get your school involved! queenfish@queenfishstudios for more
