Kid Koala performs alongside 700 grade four students in the experimental Parade of Noises
(Text taken from official press release)

On June 3rd, 2004, over 700 Grade 4 students participated in the second annual Parade of Noises at Brampton's Chinguacousy Park Bandshell. A unique noise orchestra of 700 grade 4 students performed using odd homemade musical instruments, such as whoopee cushion organs, Styrofoam guitars, homemade turntables, water chimes, clay ocarinas, and much more. The students enjoyed the opportunity of performing with some of the country's finest professional musicians, such as the renowned Montreal turntablist Kid Koala, children's entertainer Eric Nagler, The Singing Saw Symphony, the Kyoshi Nagata Taiko Ensemble, and much more.

The Parade of Noises is the work of the experimental composer Richard Marsella, president of Music Roots Seminars Inc. "I started Music Roots to offer young students an alternative introduction to music. I want to share my musical approach with as many people as possible. I believe we can squeeze music out of just about anything!"

Parents, teachers, and music enthusiasts were welcome to witness this extravaganza. The concert was recorded and CD manufactured for every participating student, so that they could enjoy and reflect upon this experience for many years to follow.

Marsella explains, "The piece eventually grows to a grand culmination of sounds, where they conduct 2 ice cream trucks, and play a City of Brampton fire engine as a musical instrument. Everything was heard from kitchen sinks, and lawnmowers to Theremins and barrel organs being used for the purpose of providing an unforgettable music experience".

Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer has been a great supporter of Mr. Marsella's work, and is strongly considering overseeing next year's Parade of Noises in the downtown core of Brampton. Marsella and Schafer are proposing to play Brampton itself as a musical instrument in June 2005, using the distinct make-up of the city to draw sounds from.

Music Roots Seminars Inc. began as a pilot project in January 2003 in six public schools across the Peel Region and has expanded into 25 grade 4 classes since October 2003. The pilot year of the Music Roots program could not have been possible without the open-minded support of The Ontario Trillium Foundation, The City of Brampton, The Dufferin Peel School Board, DareArts Foundation for Kids, and the University of Toronto's Faculty
