In 2005, high school music instructor Brian Udelhofen set out to adapt some of DJ Shadow's compositions for live performance. After working out orchestration for tracks from the 1996 album Endtroducing (Shadow's first studio album), he enlisted the Minnetonka (MN) High School Percussion Ensemble to try it out. Here's their (rather remarkable) May 2005 performance of The Shadow Percussion Project.
So awesome! Has to be a ballsy teacher to teach DJ Shadow to kids at high school. I wish my music teacher was a little more inspiring like this.
