Description:
      "Heartbeat" is a production based off the rhythm inside us all. An accelerando as the heartbeat gets excited, a heartbeat motivating the foundation of the groove, the romantic hints and struggle within and the inevitable flatline are all woven together seamlessly to create an emotional connection to the audience. The "heartless" moment with its sampled vocals is sure to be a crowd favorite at any show. This show is simple enough for everybody to enjoy but still has many layers beyond the surface.
      "Heartbeat" was originally commissioned by the Los Alamitos HS marching band in the fall of 2009. This is a custom version adapted for indoor percussion.
