A lot of the high school video game music themed videos we've seen have ranged from pretty well done to rather embarrassing, but this one definitely falls into the "So Nerdy It's Cool" category. Andrew (He's the one in the Mario costume) from Everglades High School Winter Percussion group sends in this video of he and his compatriots performing NES music entirely on percussion instruments. Their program of hits includes Zelda: Intro, Labyrinth, Double Dragon : Riot (Industrial Area), Super Mario Bros. : Underworld, Overworld, Invincibility, Game Over. The fact that they are all in different character costumes just makes it all the more nerdy cool.

The best part though, is that Andy and friends took the first place prize in what I can only assume was some sort of percussion band competition. Perhaps Andy will comment in and enlighten us on what the competition was since in his excitement he forgot to mention it in his email. Congratulations Andy and all your fellow percussion-ers on an excellent performance! EHS Winter Percussion FTW! Flynn De Marco
