Celebrate! Connections Among Cultures

(National Geographic (Little) Kids) #1
Balinese children and adults
play in a gamelan, or orchestra,
creating music to accompany a
traditional story presented as a
play. The orchestra is composed
largely of percussion instruments
such as xylophones, drums, and
gongs, though other instruments,
such as flutes, may be included.

These children are playing
music as part of a Memorial
Day celebration in the United
States. On Memorial Day,
Americans remember those who
died while serving their country
in the military. Many towns and
cities hold parades with marching
bands and concerts playing
traditional American music.
